Staged deployment is available in AB Suite in the same way as it is in EAE 3.3. However, while generating to Windows Runtime in AB Suite , you can perform the Compile and Link, Package, and Transfer without having to shut down the application component.

To perform a staged install, start a build by setting the folder configuration property, Stop Deployment After to Transfer. This creates the deployment MSI package and transfers it to the host ready to be installed later.

When you deploy the application, perform another build and this time you should set the Start Deployment With folder configuration property to Install, and the Stop Deployment After property to Install or Run. This deploys the application on the host.
