Select Parameters Page

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

Use the Select Parameters page of the Export Application Package Wizard to add or remove parameters to your package. You can assign a parameter to an attribute when you create the package. Later, when the package is installed, the user can specify a custom value for the parameter, and the new value will be assigned to the attribute. Parameters are automatically generated for each provider.

To expand or collapse a parameter, click the plus sign or minus sign next to it. To expand or collapse all entries, right click a parameter or parameter entry and select Expand All or Collapse All.
