NOTE You can only select one language pack for each product for deployment.
It is possible to manually install additional language packs to Autodesk Navisworks products later by

language packs.
Language packs are located on the installation DVD and unpacked downloaded media under the x86 folder for
32-bit products and under the x64 folder for 64-bit products.
■ Language packs for specific products are included in the NAVFREE, , NAVSIM, NAVMAN, and NWEXPORT
subfolders of x86 and x64 folders.
■ Language packs for specific languages are included in the en-US (English), de-DE (German), es-ES (Spanish),
fr-FR (French), it-IT (Italian), ja-JP (Japanese), ko-KR (Korean), pt-BR (Brazilian Portuguese), ru-RU (Russian)
and zh-CN (Chinese PRC) subfolders of the product folders.
Create a Deployment
A deployment contains a Microsoft Transform (MST) file that modifies the default behavior of the installation
program.
As you begin a deployment, you need to select the location of your Administrative image, a deployment name,
and if your target systems are 32- or 64-bit operating systems.
Create a Deployment Using Default Values
This is the fastest means of creating client deployment images.
To create a default deployment
1 In the Deployment wizard, click Create Deployments.
2 On the Begin Deployment page, specify the following: administrative image location, deployment name,
and if your target system is 32- or 64-bit.
■ In the Specify the Administrative Image Location field, enter the path to your existing shared network
location, or use the Browse button to navigate to that location. This area is where you create and store
your administrative image. Users install the program from this location.
NOTE If you do not know how to create a network share, see “Create a Network Share” on page 41.
■ In the Specify the New Deployment Name field, enter the new deployment’s name. The name you enter
here is the name of the shortcut users will access to install the product.
■ Under This is to be a:, select either 32-bit or 64-bit for your target operating system. This selection does
not identify the system your deployment was created on; it identifies your target system.
