VMware ACE Administrator’s Manual
Deploying Packages
The first time you deploy a new package, the process is quite straightforward.
If you use CDs or DVDs to deploy the package, be sure the discs are clearly labeled so
your users can insert them in the proper order. The setup.exe file is on the first disc
in the set. For installation instructions, see Installing a VMware ACE Package on
page 154.
If you deploy the package over a network, be sure your end users know where to find
the installer. For installation instructions, see Installing a VMware ACE Package on
page 154.
Note: End users may install packages from only one project on a host computer at
any one time. A user who wants to install a package created from a different project
must first uninstall the existing package, then install the new one.
You may want to give your end users copies of Running VMware ACE on page 156,
which covers the most commonly used features of VMware ACE.
