========

When you create a distribution set for your application using the Package and
Deployment Wizard (PDW) and attempt to add a group of files to the distribution
set from the Add dialog of the Included Files screen, the dialog window does not
allow the selection of multiple files. Additionally, if you double-click on a
file to add it, the PDW will display the Dependency Information screen instead
of adding it to the set.

RESOLUTION
==========

The files must be added one at a time.
