When you are ready to deploy a package to end users, share it with a coworker, or copy
it to another computer, you can use Package Distribution to copy a compiled installation
or a project and its associated files to a network directory.
Copying a project and its source files to a network directory lets you share the project
with coworkers without breaking the paths to source files. The source file paths are
changed to the new paths during this process. These paths are not relative; however,
you can use relative paths in a project file:
Open a Windows Installer project in Windows Installer Editor and select Tools menu
> Convert Source Paths.
Open a WiseScript project in WiseScript Package Editor and select Edit menu >
Source Directories.
The following criteria determine whether this option is available.

project file, you specify this

installation, the .EXE is distributed.

distributed. (Not available in Standard Edition.)
