When the package resource appears in Software Manager and ConflictManager, the
resolved value is displayed instead of the formatted text string.
Use the Import Wizard in Software Manager to add a package and information about its
resources into the Software Manager database.
The Import Wizard provides several options for importing packages. The pages in the
Import Wizard differ depending on the type of package you import and where you
import it from.
See
Import Methods
on page 25.
Note
In general, do not import a package from a CD. If you do, you will not be able to export
the package after resolving its conflicts, because you will not have access to its source
files and you cannot write to a CD.
Import from the share point directory
To place a package into the share point directory and queue it for import, use Package
Distribution to distribute a package to the share point.
See Copying an Installation to the Share Point Directory in the Windows Installer Editor
Help.
Then, open Software Manager and import the package.
See
Importing From the Share Point Directory
Import a single package from any network or local drive

saved to a local or network drive.
