The Software Distribution Packaging dialog box consists of the pages listed in Table 2-1. The pages that will actually be displayed will depend on the package type. If you attempt to execute packaging without specifying all required information, an error message will be displayed.

To package another company's software, you can use one of the following four methods:

1. Use an AIT file and a program product ID file.
2. Use a recorder file, an installation definition file, and a program product ID file.
3. Use only a recorder file.
4. Use neither an AIT file nor a recorder file.

The explanation below assumes methods 1 and 2. For details on packaging using methods 3 and 4, see 2.2.15 Variations in packaging other companies' software.
