Package Definition Editor
Package Definitions are used by the Distribute Software operation to specify how and where software packages can be installed on Client PCs. They include the kit location, SETUP command syntax and other installation information that enables you to use Vector AM to automate the installation of software across your organization's networks.
Each Package Definition contains three sections:
Summary stores basic information such as the package name, check paths (used to determine whether the software is installed), and any notes and extra information about the Package Definition.
Install Types specify the environments in which the software can be installed, the location of the installation kit, and the commands to be used during the installation. Because many packages support different types of installation for different operating systems, different types of user, and different optional components, you can create multiple install types for each package.
Pre-/Post Processing specifies commands to be executed before and after the main installation command.
