2 Preparing for Deployment Preparing the Product Install Folder Before you run the Adobe® deployment toolkit to create packages, you must place the product install folder for each product you plan to package in the desired location so the toolkit can find it. Have both planning sheets #2 and #3 for each package handy. Do the following two steps for each different product you plan to package. 1. Determine where the product install folder should be placed. This location is specified on planning sheet #2 in the MEDIA FILES LOCATION field. This is the location for the product install folder while you create packages with the toolkit. It may or may not be the same as the path from the package to the product install folder during deployment. If this field is not yet filled in, consult worksheet #3:  For configurations, TT, TM, TS, and configuration IS with EXPLICIT NETWORK PATH IN PACKAGE chosen, choose a convenient location for the toolkit to access the product install folder. It doesn't matter what this path is, as you will have to change it in the package files after package creation.  For configurations IT or IS with ABSOLUTE NETWORK PATH chosen, the best choice is to use the same absolute path as specified on the configuration worksheet. If you can do this, you do not need to edit the package files after package creation. If this path is not feasible for use by the toolkit, choose a convenient location for the toolkit to access the product install folder.  For configuration IM, the best choice is to insert the disk into a DVD drive on the admin system where you will run the toolkit that has the same drive letter or volume name as that specified on the planning sheet #3. If you can do this, you will not need to edit the package files after package creation. If the admin machine on which you will run the toolkit does not have a DVD drive at this drive letter, choose any other drive.  For configuration IS with EXPLICIT NETWORK PATH ON COMMAND LINE chosen, choose a convenient location for the toolkit to access the product install folder. It doesn't matter what this path is, as the path given on the command line will override it. Record the chosen path and/or drive on planning sheet #2 in the MEDIA FILES LOCATION field. 2. Download the product install folder to the location determined in step 1.  If you are using a product ESD, mount (on Mac) or extract (on Windows®) the product ESD at the location determined in step 1.  If you are using product media, and are using configuration IM (the product media consists of a single DVD), insert the DVD at the drive determined in step 1.  If you are using product media but are not using configuration IM (the product media consists of multiple DVDs), you must construct a product install folder from the DVDs. Navigate to the path determined in step 1 and follow the instructions in the appendix of the Enterprise Deployment Toolkit Guide, in the section "Creating a Product Install Folder from DVDs".
