custom deployment. Configuration details for different products are covered
in product supplements to Installation Help. It is recommended that you review
these supplements, and determine the right settings for each product in your
deployment.
To configure product settings, on the Create Deployment page of the installer,
ensure that the product is selected for installation, and then click the product
in the scrolling list. The configuration panel opens.
IMPORTANT The configuration settings you choose apply to every instance of
the product installed from the deployment. After the deployment is created, these
settings can be changed only by modifying the deployment.
Most products allow you to choose an installation type, either Typical to select
the most common options, or Custom to review options in more detail.
Some other common product settings are as follows:
■ User preferences for product behavior
■ Installation of support files, such as material libraries
■ Access to online resources
Include Additional Software
When you create a deployment, at the end of the product list in the installer
you see an option to include additional software in your image.
This is used for installing language packs, components from apps.ex-

, or other third-party software. The additional software
must be packaged in a self-extracting executable (.EXE) or .MSI format. This
option should not be used to install Vault or other Autodesk products. When
you choose this option, you use a table to manage the additional software.
