When you deploy packages to target computers, some deployment tasks might not process as expected. For example, if the package is set up to install in interactive mode, the deployment task stays open until a user interacts with it. You can preconfigure deployments to end these preexisting deployment tasks automatically. You can also configure a deployment to stop all pending tasks before they start. All open threads continue to process until the deployment tasks are complete. To stop preexisting deployment tasks 1 In the Package Deployment window, check If encountered, stop existing deployment tasks. 2 Configure the remaining deployment details, and then click Deploy. To stop pending deployment tasks 1 In the Deployment Status dialog box, click Stop. The Stop button changes to a Close button when the tasks are complete. 2 Click Close. Saving deployment status information The Package Deployment Tool lets you save the deployment log as a package deployment (.dpl) file. You can edit the package deployment file to remove the successful deployments and import the file to redeploy packages. See "Using package deployment files" on page 84.

Deploying installation packages
Using the Package Deployment Tool
Stopping deployment tasks
The Package Deployment Tool lets you configure a deployment so that it ends
any preexisting deployment task that it encounters or stops all pending tasks.
When you deploy packages to target computers, some deployment tasks might
not process as expected. For example, if the package is set up to install in
interactive mode, the deployment task stays open until a user interacts with it.
You can preconfigure deployments to end these preexisting deployment tasks
automatically.
You can also configure a deployment to stop all pending tasks before they start.
All open threads continue to process until the deployment tasks are complete.

In the Package Deployment window, check
If encountered, stop existing
deployment tasks
