To install a custom workflow for managing records you must address the means by which most functionality is deployed in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0—Features. Feature packaging is a way of encapsulating Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 solutions and functionality for ease of deployment.
You install Features in the 12\Template\Features directory, with each Feature in its own subdirectory. At the root of this folder, a Feature.xml file defines the contents of the Feature.
