Combined Product Creation

You create a combined product, if you want to package two or more products to be installed together on the target computer. A combined product is one package that includes two or more products or delta products, such as all previous delta versions. For example, two or more operating system service packs that were packaged separately and must be installed individually.

Proceed as follows to create a combined product:

• Depending on your exact purpose, choose the name of an existing product or specify a new name for any combined product that you create.
• To create the combined product, use the Automatic method (Custom mode).
• From the Install Previously Created Products dialog install all archived products or versions you require.
• When prompted for the type of product to generate, select Combined product.
• Finish executing the steps on Using the Automatic Method (Custom mode).
• All archived and new products that you have installed are included in the combined product that you are packaging.
