About Web-based deployment requirements

Packages that are created with Symantec Packager can be deployed over your
corporate intranet using a Web-based deployment tool that is provided by
Symantec. All of the source files that are necessary to implement Web-based
deployment are included on the Symantec pcAnywhere CD in the Tools/Web
Deploy folder.
Deploying packages using Web-based deployment requires the following steps:
Review the Web-based deployment requirements.
Set up the installation Web server, which includes copying the package files
to the deployment directory on the Web server.
Customize the deployment files.
Test the installation.
Notify users of the download location.
The Web-based deployment tool supports the deployment of Symantec Packager
packages and Microsoft Installer (.msi) files. Symantec Packager lets you create
a package installation file as a self-extracting executable (.exe) file or create a
custom product installation for a single product as an .msi file.
Table 3-1 lists the minimum requirements that the server or computer must meet
before you implement Web-based deployment on a Web server or target computer.
