Before creating a deployment, store any additional software in a single location
that is easy to find. To add software to a deployment, click Add, browse to the
file location, and then click the file. The file name and path are added to the
management table. Buttons for deleting files and moving them up or down
in the list become active when the table contains at least two files. Horizontal
and vertical scroll bars are added when the table extends beyond the window.
Include Service Packs
Most products provide the option to include service packs in a deployment.
You can download a service pack from autodesk.com, or use a service pack
stored on a local hard drive or network location. In either case, the service
pack will be applied after installation of the main product.
If you select the Install Service Pack from autodesk.com button, the service pack
will be automatically downloaded and you will not need to extract the MSP
file.
You can add multiple service packs to a deployment only if the service packs
are locally stored, not if you are downloading them from autodesk.com.
NOTE If the deployment process for the main product is canceled or fails, the
service pack installation will automatically be canceled.
Two options are available for including service packs in deployments:
■ Append the Service Pack onto the Deployment. When you append
a service pack, the service pack is applied to the current deployment only.
Multiple service packs can be appended to a deployment. The service pack
file is included in the deployment and the service pack is applied after the
product is deployed.
■ Merge the Service Pack into the Administrative Image MSI File.
With this option, the service pack is merged into the administrative image.
