This code snippet has been edited for content and modified to fit in
your screen:


$DISK11:[DECWINDOWS]DEC-VAXVMS-DWMOTIF-V0102-5-1.PCSI$DESCRIPTION;1

product DEC VAXVMS DWMOTIF V1.2-5 full ;
software DEC VAXVMS VMS ;
if (not <software DEC VAXVMS VMS version minimum V6.2>) ;
error VMS_VERSION abort ;
end if ;
execute preconfigure "@PCSI$SOURCE:[$WORK]PCSI_CHKPARAM.COM"
interactive uses
([$WORK]PCSI_CHKPARAM.COM, [SYSMGR]DECW$GETPARAMS.COM) ;
execute install ("@PCSI$SOURCE:[$WORK]PCSI_CHKREQ.COM",
"@PCSI$SOURCE:[$WORK]PCSI_SAVEPROG.COM") remove ""
interactive uses ( [$WORK]PCSI_CHKREQ.COM,[$WORK]PCSI_SAVEPROG.COM) ;
if (<logical name DECW$ANSWER_ABORT equals "TRUE" table LNM$JOB>) ;
error EXIT_MESSAGE abort ;
end if ;
remove ;
file [SYSLIB]DECW$DXMAIMSHR.EXE ;
file [VUE$LIBRARY.SYSTEM]VUE$SYSTEM_PROFILE.VUE$DAT ;
file [000000]DEC-VAXVMS-DWMOTIF-V0102-4-1.PCSI$DESCRIPTION ;
file [000000]DEC-VAXVMS-DWMOTIF-V0102-4-1.PCSI$TLB ;
end remove ;
directory [DECW$DEFAULTS] ;
directory [DECW$DEFAULTS.SYSTEM] ;
directory [DECW$DEFAULTS.USER] ;
directory [CDA$LIBRARY] ;


In the above, there are a few lines missing after the "execute
preconfigure" because those are the ones that caused the installation to
abort if CHKPARAM.COM didn't like the SYSGEN parameters.


The file that PRODUCT COPY
DM-MOTIF/source=xxx/destination=$DISK11:[DECWINDOWS]/FORMAT=REFERENCE
left out is the [.$WORK]PCSI_CHKPARAM.COM , it got the PCSI_CHKREQ and PCSI_SAVEPROG).


None of those 3 files are part of the product, they are used only for
the installation process and are deleted as soon as the installation
completes. (which is why it was so hard for me to capture the
PCSI_CHKPARAM.COM file during a bona fide PRODUCT INSTALL because it
lived very briefly on disk before returning and telling PCSI to abort
installation and delete everything.
