3. Check Standard mode, and click Continue.

   The Installing Software dialog displays.

4. Install the product you are packaging, according to both the instructions on that dialog and the instructions for the product being packaged.

   If required by the newly installed product, and if prompted by the Using the Software dialog, start and end the newly installed product to set the proper registry entries for its programs.
