Product Sets

This topic describes the "Product Sets" panel of the System property sheet. Use this panel to add product sets to or to remove products sets from a system.

Before you can set up a service on a system, you must add a product set that contains the service to the system (see Setting up a software product with msys for Setup). This associates the product set with the system's active system profile and, thus, makes the services it contains available for the setup tasks. Adding a product set to a system only affects the systems active system profile. If you want to set up the services for another system profile of the same system, you must first make that system profile the active system profile of the system and then add the product set again.

Similarly, removing a product set from a system only detaches it from the active system profile and not from any other system profile that it has been added to.

To see which system profile is the active system profile go to the "System Profiles" panel of the system property sheet.

Steps for adding and removing product sets:

  1. Open the property sheet for the system you want to work with (see Viewing and changing system information).

    Be sure that the correct system profile is the active system profile. You can confirm this by clicking the "System profiles" tab and checking the active profile field.


  2. Click the "Product Sets" tab. On the "Product Sets" panel the product sets that have already been added to the active system profile are shown in the Selected list box. All other product sets that are known to msys for Setup are shown in the Available list box.
  3. To add a product set select it in the Available list box and click Add >. To add all available product sets in one step click Add all >.
    Note:
    Be sure to only add product sets that have been installed on the system. Installing is done outside msys for Setup. If you add a product set that has not been installed on the system, msys for Setup might not detect the mismatch, but all attempts to set up the services in it for this system will fail.

  4. To remove a product set select it in the Selected list box and click < Remove.
  5. When you are done, use the tabs to navigate among the property sheet panels or click OK to close the property sheet and save all changes.
