Create a Deployment Package for the New Cloned Instance

You can produce a new deployment package that represents a cloned instance of the original system from a builder-generated full-system deployment package (MSI).

To create a cloned MSI, perform the following:

  1. Go to AB Suite Installation Package/CD Runtime/Windows Runtime/Runtime Utilities/DeploymentPackageManager, and double-click DPM-GUI.exe.

    The Deployment Package Manager dialog box appears.

  2. Click Create a Deployment Package for a New Cloned Instance.

    The Create Deployment Package dialog box appears.

  3. In the Builder Generated Deployment Package (MSI file), select the existing MSI file.

    The package properties of the existing MSI file are displayed in the Builder Generated Package column.

    The New Package for Cloned Instance column is automatically populated with the default values. If required, you can update the properties with the desired values. The new package instance is created with these property values.

  4. Click Run.

    The task status appears in the next dialog box and a cloned MSI is created in the specified package path.

  5. Click Exit to exit the DeploymentPackageManager dialog box.
