Configuration Tt - Together On Target - Adobe 65019371 Deployment Manual

Choosing a Deployment Configuration
Configuration TT — Together on Target
In this configuration, the package and the product install folder are placed together on the same drive on
all targets. This configuration enables a local install and requires editing of the package files.
USES This configuration is useful if you want to avoid a network install, your targets have enough disk space to
hold the product install folder, and you have a logistically feasible way of copying the product install folder
to all of the target machines.
NEEDS Both the package and the entire product install folder must fit on a single drive on the target. For some
point products, the product install folder may be relatively small; for the suite products, especially the
Master Collection, it is quite large.
The Delete Installer option in the package can be set to "true", so that the product install folder is
automatically removed after the install has successfully completed. However, if the install fails for any
reason, the product install folder is not removed, even if this option is set to "true".
PATH Use a relative path from package to product install folder.
FORM
The package and product install folder must be placed on the same drive. Be sure to place them in the
proper relative locations so that the path will resolve correctly when the package is deployed. Examples of
a few obvious choices are given below. The first two examples assume a product install folder named
