Software Manager Reference
Group Properties dialog box
Add MSI Package 2 to Group B. The other packages are pulled in because
of their relationships to MSI Package 2.
In the following example, both packages in a group contain .PDF documents, which
require Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Reader is in a separate group. Typically, you will
distribute Acrobat Reader with those packages. However, sometimes the end user
already has Acrobat Reader, so you won't install it with those packages. One of the
packages has a dependency on a third package.
Group Properties dialog box
Add Package 3 and Package 4 to Group C. Package 5 is pulled in because
of its relationship to Package 4. Add Group D as a subgroup.
If you clear the check box for Package 4:
If you include MSI Package 3, it is installed before MSI Package 2.
You can include or exclude MSI Package 2.
If you include MSI Package 2, Patch 2 is installed afterwards.
If you install Package 4, then Package 5 must be installed before
Package 4.
You can include or exclude Group D. However, you cannot edit the
individual packages in the subgroup.
Preparing Packages for Deployment
Package 5 is no longer
required and does not
appear.
