When all of the specified files exist during packaging, the Package Information tool assumes that the software that includes the files is to be distributed by using the AIT file. |
PACKAGE_INFO { PackageID = "ADOBEREADER"; Product = "Adobe Reader 6.0"; Version = "0600"; InstallerName = "AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe"; InstallDrive = "C:"; InstallDirectory = "'\Program Files'\Adobe'\Acrobat 6.0"; } |
The values entered in the Package Information dialog box are displayed in the JP1/ITDM2 Packaging dialog box during packaging. Among the items displayed in this dialog box, you cannot change the values of the Package ID, Product, and Version. You can change the values of other items during packaging or remote installation.
