To include a service pack with the deployment To include a service pack with a deployment, an MSP file must be extracted from the downloaded service pack executable. 1 On the Include Service Packs page, click the Browse button. 2 In the Open dialog box, locate the service pack you want to include with the deployment. 3 Select the MSP file and click Open. 4 Specify whether you want to append the service pack to the deployment or merge the service pack into the administrative image. 5 Click Next. Create a Network Share After you have fully prepared for creating a deployment, you are ready to set up and distribute Autodesk products from a shared network location. A network share is an installation folder to which all users' computers have access. You create deployments in the network share, and point users to this location to install the program. Any subfolders inside a network shared folder are automatically shared. If you select the option to create a network log file, then during installation, the user's computer writes an entry to the log file in the network share. Therefore, this option requires that users have read-write access to the network share. You can create a deployment folder on a network share as part of the process of creating the deployment. If you plan to create several deployments of the same product or suite, configured for different user groups, then these deployments can share the same administrative image, and the shortcuts can reside in the same folder. However, if you plan to create deployments of different products or suites, it is recommended that you create separate product folders on the network share before starting to create deployments. For more information on how to create a network share, see the documentation for your operating system. Network Administration and Deployment | 7

Create a Network Share
After you have fully prepared for creating a deployment, you are ready to set
up and distribute Autodesk products from a shared network location. A network
share is an installation folder to which all users' computers have access. You
create deployments in the network share, and point users to this location to
install the program. Any subfolders inside a network shared folder are
automatically shared.
If you select the option to create a network log file, then during installation,
the user's computer writes an entry to the log file in the network share.
Therefore, this option requires that users have read-write access to the network
share.
You can create a deployment folder on a network share as part of the process
of creating the deployment. If you plan to create several deployments of the
same product or suite, configured for different user groups, then these
deployments can share the same administrative image, and the shortcuts can
reside in the same folder. However, if you plan to create deployments of
different products or suites, it is recommended that you create separate product
folders on the network share before starting to create deployments.
For more information on how to create a network share, see the documentation
for your operating system.
