16.2.3 Packaging
After placing the AIT file and program product ID file in the appropriate locations, use the Packager to package the software that you want to distribute.
During packaging, the values defined in the AIT file and program product ID file are displayed for Package ID, Version, and Product on the Packaging Information page in the JP1/ITDM2 Packaging dialog box. You cannot change the values of these items in this dialog box.
The JP1/ITDM2 Packaging dialog box also displays other information defined in the AIT file as shown below. You can change the values of this information during packaging or remote installation.
-
Installation directory
-
Organization
-
User name
-
Serial number
-
Icon group
If the user at a target computer responds to the dialog box, or uses the keyboard or mouse during installation, the information displayed in the installer window might differ from the information expected by the AIT file. As a result, remote installation based on the AIT file might stop. You can set a time-out to cancel the remote installation forcibly if a length of time elapses after the installer begins to wait for a user response.
Typically, you should set the time period about three times longer than that required to install software to be distributed.
