How Symantec Packager works

Note: Symantec Packager runs on Windows 2000/2003 Server/XP
Professional/Vista platforms only.
Symantec Packager lets you do the following:
Tailor products to adhere to your security policy, giving users full access to
all features, or limiting access where appropriate
Reduce deployment bandwidth and application footprint by creating a custom
installation package that contains only the features that your users need
Reduce installation complexity by including preconfigured data files
Minimize deployment costs and complexity by installing multiple products at
once
Simplify application deployment and migration by including custom commands
with product installations
Symantec Packager uses a phased approach for creating custom installation
packages. Each phase depends on the output of the previous phase.
Figure 2-1 shows the process for creating custom installation packages with
Symantec Packager.
