The console for the Installation Factory provides options that you can select to build and modify build definition files. These build definition files can in turn be used to create customized or integrated installation packages (CIPs or IIPs).
The Installation Factory console provides you with options to create a new build definition file and optionally a corresponding customized installation package (CIP) to create an integrated installation package (IIP) from a new build definition or to open and edit an existing build definition and optionally create a CIP or IIP from that build definition. In addition an option to launch the Installation Factory help system is offered.
