How do I deploy the software vendor's install package?

Most vendors provide either a single file (when downloaded from the web) or set of files (when distributed on a CD). Executing the installer file (typically named setup.exe or abc.msi) installs the vendor's application on any operating system.

The Application Deploy wizard takes you though an interview process to determine the type of installer and automatically generates a script to deploy install vendor packages.

How do I find out what kind of installer my software vendor used?

The VSA provides a small utility to automatically identify all supported installer types. Download and run kInstId.exe to automatically identifies the installer type.
