Deployment Checklist
Identify the location, and create a shared folder where deployments will reside
for each program you plan to deploy.
Close all other programs and disable anti-virus software.
Decide which language to use for each of your deployment packages.
NOTE Languages can be included only during the creation of the deployment,
not during modification.
Determine whether your deployment plan involves using imaging software to
distribute your program(s) to client workstations.
Determine whether to create log files that contain deployment and installation
data, and whether to run silent mode.
NOTE When the program is installed from a deployment using silent mode,
users’ systems automatically reboot without warning when the installation is
complete.
Determine an installation type (Typical or Custom).
Determine your user preferences—including whether to display the Welcome
Screen, whether to require Internet Explorer, the default publishing format, and
whether to create a desktop shortcut.
Set up access to online resources, such as Subscription Center, Help, Customer
Error Reporting.
