Background

Deployment Image-

The deployment image is created by the system administrators for installing the application with the same installation configuration includes the installation location, features, shortcuts, additional packages, and so on.

Once created, user will be able to double- click Setup.exe for the software available in the deployment image to install the application with the set configuration without the need of any user interaction or internet connection for component downloads. The deployment image can be shared in the network.

The deployment image contains all the files that are packaged with the product as well as the downloadable files, including companion features and applications. It may optionally contain external applications or packages that you add while creating the deployment image which may be pre-requisites for the software. The image does not analyze the system on which it is created. It simply saves all the components for installation. The deployment image also saves the installation configuration.
