The SDD Author wants to create a brand new SDD around an existing installation package.

   1. From the file menu (or context menu), the end user chooses "New Project->SDD Project From Existing Package"
   2. The end user is prompted to pick a location where the configuration data (e.g. the SDD) will be stored.
   3. The end user is prompted to pick the location of the existing package.
   4. If the format of the selected package is one that the SDD cannot process, notify the user and ask if they want to cancel or choose another package.
   5. The tool creates an SDD using as much of the information as it can glean from the chosen package.
   6. The user provides input values for the SDD. Parts that are marked as uneditable in use case 7.6 are either hidden or disabled.
   7. The tool writes out editable parts of the SDD as instructed by the user.
   8. When user has completed input of raw data, they choose either "Validate", "Package", or "Deploy" from the Tools menu.
