What are the Automatic Installation Packages?
What are the Automatic Installation Packages?
An Automatic installation package is an executable file that installs a
software component automatically, without the need for user
intervention (called a "silent" installation in Windows 95 and an
"unattended" installation in Windows NT). You can:
Perform a local installation.
•
This is described in chapter 2, Local Automatic Installation.
Copy the update files to a Windows NT server. Once the server is
•
updated, you can perform remote installations on client PCs using
your software deployment tool.
(Described in this chapter.)
Note that the Image Library does not perform remote installations.
Rather, it allows you to copy the Automatic installation packages to
a server so that you can then perform remote installations using your
own tools and methods.
