Importing and Loading Packages
To test a package with Compatibility Solver, you first need to import the package into Compatibility Solver, and then
load it into the database.
Task: To import and load a package into Compatibility Solver:
1. In the Packages control panel on the left side of the Compatibility Solver interface, click Browse for
Packages. The Open dialog box opens.
2. Select an .msi or .msm file to import. The package is now listed under Applications on the Compatibility
Solver interface, with a folder icon in the Info column, which indicates that the package has been imported but
not loaded. In this example, Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.msi has been imported:
Note • You can also import a package into Compatibility Solver using drag-and-drop.
3. Make sure that the package you just imported is selected, and then click Load in the Packages control panel.
The selected package is loaded. Progress is shown in the Info column. When loading is complete, several
icons are listed in the Info column.
In this example, the following icons are displayed:

Checked Out Indicates that the package is checked out to the current user.
• A package is checked out automatically to the user who imports it
into the database if the Checkout Packages Automatically
option under Package Load/Fixes on the General tab of the
Options dialog box is selected.
• If this icon is not visible, it indicates that the package is checked in
and although it can be reported on, it cannot be remediated
automatically.
• You can check the package in by selecting it and clicking
Checkin on the context menu.
