You've heard the adage that "timing is everything". With application packaging, timing (or the sequence of events) really is everything. If you're having trouble with a package the problem might be related to conflicts caused by the order of events. He're a quick reference to help you stay in step.

  1. ADDLOCAL
  2. REMOVE
  3. ADDSOURCE
  4. ADDDEFAULT
  5. REINSTALL
  6. ADVERTISE
  7. COMPADDLOCAL
  8. COMPADDSOURCE
  9. FILEADDLOCAL
  10. FILEADDSOURCE
  11. FILEADDDEFAULT

Remember too that feature names listed in properties are case-sensitive.
