When you are ready to deploy an installation package to end users, share it with a
coworker, or copy it to another computer, you can use Package Distribution to copy a
compiled installation or a project and its associated files to a network directory.
Copying a project and its source files to a network directory lets you share the project
with coworkers without breaking the paths to source files. The source file paths are
changed to the new paths during this process. These paths are not relative; however,
you can use relative paths in a project file.

Changing Source Directories
on page 28.
