Remarks

In the PackageInfo element, a minimum of two instances of the Metadata element must be specified. Each instance must specify the namespace of one of the following required XML schemas that are used to create a service metadata package:

The easiest approach is to copy the following example above into your Packageinfo.xml file. If any of the folders specified above are not included in the service metadata package, make sure to remove the Metadata element from the PackageStructure element.

<PackageStructure>
  <Metadata MetadataID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/DeviceMetadata/PackageInfo/2007/11">PackageInfo.xml</Metadata>
  <Metadata MetadataID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2010/05/DeviceMetadata/ServiceInfo">ServiceInformation</Metadata>
  <Metadata MetadataID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/DeviceMetadata/WindowsInfo/2007/11/">WindowsInformation</Metadata>
  <Metadata MetadataID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2010/08/DeviceMetadata/SoftwareInfo">SoftwareInformation</Metadata>
</PackageStructure>

The SoftwareInformation folder and service metadata packages are not supported on devices running Windows 7.

Each folder name can be changed to an arbitrary name as long as the name is set in this metadata element. The following example shows how to use “WindowsInfo” as a folder name:

<Metadata MetadataID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/DeviceMetadata/WindowsInfo/2007/11/">WindowsInfo</Metadata>
