  • This process will not work with the SEPM web console. It can only import packages that were exported in the .ZIP file format. It will not import a .INFO file format package, it's not supported for web console. The web console can only import or export a single file.
  • It is possible to import an executable package (i.e. .EXE or .ZIP file packages) directly, but this is not recommended. The .INFO file contains extra information that describes the package and ensures proper migration to future builds of the SEP client via delta updates.
