How do I include Service Packs with my
deployment?
You can include a service pack for your deployment in the Service Pack section
of the Installer configuration page. If you select the option to download and
apply a service pack from Autodesk, it will be downloaded automatically. If
your installation is up-to-date, a message will tell you that a service pack is
not available.
If you choose to apply a service pack from your local drive or a drive in your
network, you will need to choose between two options:
■ Append the service pack(s) onto the deployment by applying the pack
after your software is deployed. With this method, the service pack is
applied to the current deployment only; the Administrative Image MSI
file is not affected.
■ Merge the service pack(s) into the Administrative Image MSI file. With this
method, the service pack may not be removed from the image.
What is the purpose of configuring additional
files in a deployment?
You can configure your installation to include additional files to accomplish
the following tasks:
■ Specify script files to include with your deployment.
■ Install user files of any format and place them in any directory on a client
workstation.
■ Add subfolders under the installation folder.
■ Add sample files to the same location as program files.
■ Add files to the root of the installation directory.
