The installation package can comprise one setup.exe file or a collection of files
that include a setup.exe file. Computer users often find one setup.exe file easier
to use.
■ Save the installation package in the default directory or a directory of your
choice.
The default directory is as follows:
C:\temp\Symantec\ClientPackages
You must provide the installation package to the computer users. The users
run the setup.exe file to install the client software. You or the computer users
must restart the computers after installation.
You may start the client deployment from the console.
