To define an installer technology registration file, create an XML file based on the http://schemas.microsoft.com/SystemCenterConfigurationManager/2009/AppMgmtDigest schema. Used in the installation process, the registration file registers the custom installer technology with Configuration Manager. The deployment technology registration file is required for the installation of the custom installer technology. See Installing the Application Management Extension for additional details.

  <InstallerTechnology AuthoringScopeId="GLOBAL" LogicalName="RdpInstallerTechnology" InstallerId="Rdp" AssemblySuffix="Rdp" Version="1" />
</AppMgmtDigest>
