Wise Package Studio Getting Started Guide
In this procedure, you distribute the QuickFacts package to a location that can be
accessed by end users. Normally, this would be a shared network drive or a distribution
system. In this tutorial, you distribute it to your local drive. The Distribute package task
runs Package Distribution.
After the package is distributed to end users, the Repackage for Windows Installer
process is complete.
Before you follow this procedure, you must have made the package available.
