What happens when a non-expert tries to build an installer in A2?

When Build.Tool is opened with PET these lines appear in Kernel.log.

SyntaxHighlighter: Auto-loading SyntaxHighlighter.XML ... done.
	ReleaseTree at 416	error: HEADER section expected

No doubt, absolutely meaningful to most subscribers to this list.  
A novice will puzzle.

Googling "site:ocp.inf.ethz.ch ReleaseTree" gives one link into the 
forum.  Not helpful.  Fortunately, Google suggests "Release Tree" 
and some of the found links suggest that the Tree is the structure 
in the left panel of the PET viewer.

I wonder whether .../wiki/Documentation/ can have a page explaining 
PET.  A glossary would also be really helpful.

Further to the message above, "error: HEADER section expected" suggests 
a serious or fatal error.  But no; when the Release.Build is executed, 
modules are compiled.  So what is the error?  Can the message from PET 
be more honest?

Regards,                    ... Peter E.
