Creating Packages
Using the Deployment Toolkit
In order to create packages, you need a number of things:
You need the document
Enterprise Deployment Toolkit Guide
which contains directions for invoking
and using the toolkit.
You need to know where the toolkit is installed on the admin machine.
You need planning sheets #2 and #3 for each package you plan to create. If someone other than
yourself planned the packages, you need to get these planning sheets from the planner at this time.
You are now ready to invoke the deployment toolkit and create all of your packages, using the
configuration choices on planning sheet #2 for each package. Do this now. When you are finished creating
the packages, come back to this document at this point.
Editing Package Files
Once all packages have been created, check planning sheet #3 for each package to see if the
package-to-product install folder path for the package is OK as it is, or if you need to edit the package files
to change it.
NOTE:
Configuration IS with
EXPLICIT NETWORK PATH ON COMMAND LINE
chosen does not require package
editing.
Configurations TT, TM, and TS always require package editing, as they use a relative path between the
package and the product install folder. Replace the value of the
InstallerLocation
element in the
package files with the relative path specified on planning sheet #3 in the
PACKAGE
-
TO
-
PRODUCT INSTALL
FOLDER PATH
field.
Configurations IT, IM, and IS with
ABSOLUTE NETWORK PATH
chosen may or may not require package
editing. Compare the path on planning sheet #2 in the
MEDIA FILES LOCATION FIELD
to the path on
planning sheet #3 in the
PACKAGE
-
TO PRODUCT INSTALL FOLDER PATH
field. If they are the same, you do not
need to edit the package. If they are not the same, replace the value of the
InstallerLocation
element in the package files with the path specified on worksheet #3.
Configuration IS with
EXPLICIT NETWORK PATH IN PACKAGE
chosen requires package editing. Replace the
value of the
InstallerLocation
element in the package files with the explicit network path
specified on planning sheet #3 in the
PACKAGE
-
TO PRODUCT INSTALL FOLDER PATH
field. Remember, you can
do this only on Windows, and only if you are sure that the users who will invoke the Uber program
have permission to perform network mounts.
While you are in the package files, check the value of the
deleteInstallationImage
attribute of the
DeploymentInfo
element to make sure its setting matches that specified on planning sheet #3.
