Using Installers from Other Companies
The Install Packages command only works with installers that use the .pkg or .mpkg
le format, and some applications can’t be installed by simply copying the application
to the hard disk. To install software using installers with dierent le formats, you use a
combination of tasks.
WARNING: When a controlled computer is restarted after a package installation,
some package installations may have processes that run as the root user in the login
window. These processes can be a security risk. Test your installation packages before
installing them on controlled computers to make sure they don’t run processes in
the login window.
To install software with third-party installers:
1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2 Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
3 Choose Interact > Lock Screen and then click Lock Screen.
By locking the screen, you prevent the package installation interface from appearing
