The following example shows how to create a package in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 by using the SMS_Package Server WMI Class class and class properties.

To create a package

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Create the new package object by using the SMS_Package Server WMI Class class.
Populate the new package properties.

Tip

When you are creating a Virtual Application Package, you must set the SMS_Package properties to specific values. Instances of the SMS_VirtualApp class must reference instances of the SMS_Package class that use the properties described in the following table.
- Virtual Application Package
  
  Property Name Property Value
  
  PackageType
  
  7
  
  PkgSourceFlag
  
  2
  
  PkgSourcePath
  
  \\someserver\somesharepath
Save the package.

Property Name	Property Value
PackageType	7
PkgSourceFlag	2
PkgSourcePath	\\someserver\somesharepath

Example

The following example method creates a new package and populates its properties for use in software distribution.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub CreatePackage(connection, newPackageName, newPackageDescription, newPackageSourceFlag, newPackageSourcePath)

    ' Create the new package object. 
    Set newPackage = connection.Get("SMS_Package").SpawnInstance_

    ' Populate the new package properties.
    newPackage.Name = newPackageName
    newPackage.Description = newPackageDescription
    newPackage.PkgSourceFlag = newPackageSourceFlag
    newPackage.PkgSourcePath = newPackageSourcePath

    ' Save the package.
    newPackage.Put_

    ' Output the new package name.
    wscript.echo "Created package: "  & newPackageDescription

End Sub

public void CreatePackage(WqlConnectionManager connection, string newPackageName, string newPackageDescription, int newPackageSourceFlag, string newPackageSourcePath)
{
    try
    {
        // Create new package object.
        IResultObject newPackage = connection.CreateInstance("SMS_Package");

        // Populate new package properties.
        newPackage["Name"].StringValue = newPackageName;
        newPackage["Description"].StringValue = newPackageDescription;
        newPackage["PkgSourceFlag"].IntegerValue = newPackageSourceFlag;
        newPackage["PkgSourcePath"].StringValue = newPackageSourcePath;

        // Save new package and new package properties.
        newPackage.Put();

        // Output new package name.
        Console.WriteLine("Created package" + newPackageName);
    }

    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to create package. Error: " + ex.Message);
        throw;
    }
}
