Choosing a Deployment Configuration Configuration IM - Product Install Folder on Physical Medium Configuration IM - Product Install Folder on Physical Medium In this configuration, the package can be anywhere on the target (physically on the target or mounted from a server) and the product install folder is on a single piece of product media. This configuration enables a local install and may or may not require editing of the package files. USES This configuration is useful for installing products whose product media consists of a single DVD. In this case, it is possible to do an enterprise install (customized, silent install) using the product media directly. The deployment package can be placed anywhere on the target (locally or mounted) and accesses the product install folder on the product media inserted into a DVD drive on the target. NEEDS The product media must consist of only one DVD, as the entire product install folder must be on a single medium to ensure a silent install. You must be able to guarantee that all targets have a DVD drive capable of reading the product media at the same drive letter. WARNING: The Delete Installer option in the package should be set to "false". Because it is mounted as a peripheral, the product install folder is local and the install program will attempt to remove it if the installation is successful and this option is turned on. PATH FORM Use an absolute local path from package to product install folder. If you can place the product media in the same drive both on the system where you create the package and on all targets when deploying it, you do not need to edit the package files.

Configuration IM — Product Install Folder on Physical Medium
In this configuration, the package can be anywhere on the target (physically on the target or mounted
from a server) and the product install folder is on a single piece of product media. This configuration
enables a local install and may or may not require editing of the package files.
USES
This configuration is useful for installing products whose product media consists of a single DVD. In this
case, it is possible to do an enterprise install (customized, silent install) using the product media directly.
The deployment package can be placed anywhere on the target (locally or mounted) and accesses the
product install folder on the product media inserted into a DVD drive on the target.
NEEDS
The product media must consist of only one DVD, as the entire product install folder must be on a single
medium to ensure a silent install.
You must be able to guarantee that all targets have a DVD drive capable of reading the product media at
the same drive letter.
WARNING:
The Delete Installer option in the package should be set to “false”. Because it is mounted as a
peripheral, the product install folder is local and the install program will attempt to remove it if the
installation is successful and this option is turned on.
PATH
FORM
Use an absolute local path from package to product install folder. If you can place the product media in the
same drive both on the system where you create the package and on all targets when deploying it, you do
not need to edit the package files.
