Symantec pcAnywhere product configuration options (continued)
SettingsTab
You can customize the following product installation
options for pcAnywhere:
■ Product description
■ Target location
■ Start online registration at startup
■ Host object to use as a template

Installation Options
After you select the product features, installation options, and optional
configuration files to include in your custom product, you can build it for testing
purposes. Building the product configuration file creates a Microsoft Installer
(.msi) file. Symantec Packager supports installation of pcAnywhere .msi files only.
See “Building a product configuration file” on page 41.
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.
