Customizing product settings

Selecting product features

Symantec Packager lets you customize product installations by including the
features that you want and removing the features that you do not need. The
product size and installed size change, depending on the features that you choose.
Some features in pcAnywhere have dependencies on other components. Although
Symantec Packager has a level of built-in dependency checking, it is possible to
build a pcAnywhere installation package that does not include all required files.
As you select product features to include or exclude from a package, you should
read the feature descriptions that are provided in the Product Editor window on
the Features tab. The feature descriptions provide information about feature
dependencies.
Table 2-3 lists some of the key product dependencies.
