Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION REFERENCE 10.3 30-03-2010 Management Manual page 133

Installing a file or directory uploads the file or directory to the ZENworks content repository before
it is distributed to assigned devices. Installing a file or directory is described as copying using
content. When installing a file or directory, the file or directory is cached on the managed device. If
a directory does not have any content, it is not uploaded to the content repository. This causes any
successive action depending on this empty directory to fail.
Installing an executable file does not launch or execute the file. To launch or execute the file, you
must add a launch executable action (Launch Executable, Launch Java Application, and so forth) to
the bundle.
