Creating a Deployment
Create an Original Deployment
Use this procedure to create a new deployment from the installer. In the
process, you can create a default deployment by accepting the default
configuration of each installed product, or you can create a custom
deployment by customizing the configuration settings of one or more
products in the deployment.
To create an original deployment
1 Close all running applications on your computer.
2 Start the installer.
3 On the first page, if language choices are available, select a language for
the deployment instructions, and then click Create Deployment.
4 On the Configure <name> page, Administrative Image section, specify
the following data:
a Enter a descriptive name for the deployment that identifies the
user group, platform, or other attribute to differentiate this
deployment from others.
b Enter the path or browse to the shared network folder where you
want to create and store your administrative image. Users install
the program from this location.
NOTE For information on how to create a network share, see Create
a Network Share (page 7).
c Select either 32-bit or 64-bit for the target operating system.
d Choose whether to include only the products required by this
configuration.
■ If selected, the deployment cannot be modified in future to
include additional products.
■ If unselected, the administrative image will include all possible
products, so the current deployment can be modified in any
way.
