A deployment package in Windows is a Microsoft Installer (msi) package. It is normally found in the Package Intermediate Directory folder, specified in the Deployable Element configuration properties. While other msi packages can usually be installed by double-clicking on the file, Agile Business Suite deployment packages require additional command line arguments, which are not passed to the package if it is invoked by double-clicking on the file.
It is recommended, where a default deployment operation is not feasible, manually deploy the package and install it using MSIEXEC command line arguments as described in Using MSIEXEC Command Line Arguments.
Notes:
Each application must be installed in its own directory. Do not install multiple applications in the same directory.
An application cannot be installed to several different databases on the same server. If an application is updated (that is, it is deployed to a server that hosts a previously deployed installation), and the target database of the new application is different to the database used by the installed application, the application creates a new database. The old database is not removed. Any existing data it contains must be migrated manually.
Once a deployment package has been deployed, do not delete any deployment created files.
