About deploying packages
When you are ready to deploy packages to your users, the self-extracting
executable (.exe) files that you created using Symantec Packager are stored on
the Deploy Packages tab.
The Deploy Packages tab lets you do the following:
■
Install a package on the local computer.
See
“Installing packages on the local computer”
on page 80.
■
Deploy one or more packages to one or more computers using the Package
Deployment Tool.
The Package Deployment Tool supports deployment to Microsoft Windows
2000/2003 Server/XP/Vista. To deploy to other operating systems, use
another Symantec deployment tool or a third-party deployment tool.
See
“Using the Package Deployment Tool”
on page 81.
