Centerfield Technology still has their CDROM Studio product that makes installation CDs for products. I worked there in the early 2-thousand-oughts. I know of at least one well-known ISV who was still using it, last I heard.

Link to the information is http://centerfieldtechnology.com/CDROM-Studio/

Thanks for the feedback, Brad. It's nice to get a response from someone who
has experience with product packaging, distribution, installation, and
upgrades. I would like to automate the process as much as possible for us
as a distributor as well as IBM i shops as consumers.

I received a response offline reminding me about the LODRUN command, which
could automate the "restore" step. Anything that streamlines the process is
welcome. A mention was made of product "packaging" options available in
Management Central, as an alternative to System Manager.

Thanks for the auto-update suggestion.
