Confirming the Software Master

After you create the software master image, you should visually check the directory structure and XML database to verify that the image is complete.

To confirm the software master:

  1. In Windows Explorer, open the image path directory.

  2. Verify that the package directory includes these objects:

    • Install manager files.

    • Planner directory.

    • A data cab in the planner directory.

    • A directory that is named the same as the package.

    • Cab files in the package directory.

  3. Verify that the $TEMP\final directory includes these two files:

    • packagename.cab

    • packagename.exe

  4. Open the XML database in the $TEMP\master directory, and verify that this database is populated with tables.

    Note: If the package includes new custom tables, verify that they are in the XML database and that they and their associated index change tables have records.
