Deploying installation packages using Web-based
deployment
Packages that are created with Symantec Packager can be deployed over your
corporate intranet using a Web-based deployment tool that is provided by
Symantec. All of the source files that are necessary to implement Web-based
deployment are included on the Symantec pcAnywhere CD in the Tools/Web
Deploy folder.
Deploying packages using Web-based deployment requires the following steps:
■ Review the Web-based deployment requirements.
■ Set up the installation Web server, which includes copying the package files
to the deployment directory on the Web server.
■ Customize the deployment files.
■ Test the installation.
■ Notify users of the download location.
The Web-based deployment tool supports the deployment of Symantec Packager
packages and Microsoft Installer (.msi) files. Symantec Packager lets you create
a package installation file as a self-extracting executable (.exe) file or create a
custom product installation for a single product as an .msi file.
About Web-based deployment requirements
Table 3-1 lists the minimum requirements that the server or computer must meet
