Build information
The Build Definition wizard creates the XML build definition file, which specifies the location for outputting the customized installation package (CIP). The name and location of both files are under your control. The build definition file is always saved to a directory path on the Build Definition wizard machine.

- Build definition directory path and filename.

The XML file provides the information that the processing engine needs to locate all of the components for the CIP. You can create a new build definition XML file or overwrite an old one. Enter the desired directory path and file name, or click Browse to search for the directory and file.
