I have done some testing with packaging and I have gotten a program to
package correctly, with alittle cleanup in scirpt editor. Now I have
different problems, package wont push or advertise to test group I set up.
I checked all the clients to make sure they have the agent with the correct
components installed. So I will kee[p trying to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks for your help.
