SYMPTOMS
========
When you run the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) in silent mode, it gives
the following error if the script contains a folder that does not already
exist:
"Cannot package the project in silent mode because the package folder
<path to folder> does not exist."
CAUSE
=====
Unlike the interactive PDW, the silent mode works without user intervention. It
is not supposed to create a new folder without approval from the user. To allow
PDW to work silently, the folder must exist and must be empty.
RESOLUTION
==========
To create a new folder as part of batch processing, you can have your batch file
create the folder before performing silent packaging and deployment.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
