How to Package Products Using the Automatic Method

Use the automatic method to automatically generate an SXP product. This method automatically creates most of the SXP archive files for a product and most of the required entries in those archive files. However, some features of the Packager and Installer for Windows can be used only if you create entries manually in the appropriate SXP archive files after the initial product has been generated.

To package a product with the automatic method, perform the following tasks:

1. Prepare to create a product version.
2. Determine which type of product to create.
3. Create a product version, a combined or delta product, or a delta version.
4. Specify enhancements to the automatic method, if necessary.

After you have created your products, we recommend that you test them before registering them in the Software Package Library.
