(1) Checking the package details

This section explains the method for checking the details of a package that is stored in a cabinet. Note that you cannot check the details of multiple packages at the same time.

To check the details of a package stored in a cabinet:

  1. From the Software Distribution Packager window, select a package to be checked.
  2. From the File menu, select Properties.
    The XXXXX Properties dialog box appears (XXXXX is the package name).
  3. In the XXXXX Properties dialog box, choose Details.
    When the Details of Attributes dialog box appears, you can check the packaging specification details. The items displayed in the Details of Attributes dialog box depend on whether or not an installation script is used.
    Figure 2-11 shows the Details of Attributes dialog box when an installation script is used; Figure 2-12 shows the Details of Attributes dialog box when an installation script is not used.
