Cluster Size
Enter a number in kilobytes. Files smaller than the cluster size are packed into
data files up to the cluster size. Files larger than the cluster size make up their
own data file. A smaller cluster size increases the transfer rate of data. It also
minimizes the amount of files that a given installation must download because
only the necessary files are downloaded.
Example:
An installation has four 5 K files and one 50 K file. You set the cluster size to 20
K and compile. You end up with a 20 K file, packed with the four 5 K files, and a
50 K file.
4. Save, compile, and close the installation.

The WebDeploy Process
Uploading a WebDeploy Installation to the Web
To upload the files in a WebDeploy installation, you can use any FTP client.
To upload a WebDeploy installation with an FTP client
1. Verify that a directory exists on the Web server at the address you specified on the
WebDeploy page.
2. Using an FTP client, upload the installation files.
3. Distribute the installation media or notify your end users of the Web link to the .EXE.
To test the installation
After the files are uploaded to the server, you can test your application by connecting to
the FTP server through an FTP client and downloading and running the installation .EXE.
WebDeploy downloads and installs only the files that a particular end user requires,
skipping those files that are the same version as existing files on the destination
computer. To determine which files can be skipped, WebDeploy uses the Microsoft
VER.DLL. If the Internet connection is interrupted during the download, WebDeploy
picks up where the installation was cut off when download resumes.
