How to Use the Installation Wizard to Set Up a Deployment

To use the Installation wizard to create a default deployment

1. In the AutoCAD Land Desktop 2009 Installation wizard, click Create Deployments.
2. On the Begin Deployment page, specify:
   • Administrative image location. In the administrative image field, enter an existing shared network location where you want to create an administrative image, or click the Browse button to navigate to a location where there is a shared network location. Users install the program from this location.
     NoteIf you do not know how to create a network share, see How to Create a Network Share.
   • Deployment name. In the deployment name field, enter a deployment name. The name you enter here is the name of the shortcut your users will access to install the product.
   • If your target workstations run on 32- or 64-bit operating systems. Under This Is To Be A, choose whether your deployment is going to be installed on 32-bit or a 64-bit target operating system. This selection does not identify the system your deployment was created on; it identifies your target system.

   Click Next.

3. On the Select the Products to Include in the Deployment page, choose the products you want to deploy and click Next.
   NoteAutoCAD Design Review 2009 is not installed by default when you install AutoCAD. Some AutoCAD features require that Design Review be installed to work properly. Design Review is the replacement viewer for DWF Viewer. For more information about the affected features, see Features That Require Design Review
4. Review the Autodesk software license agreement for your country or region. You must accept this agreement to proceed with the installation. Choose your country or region, click I Accept, and then click Next.
   NoteIf you do not agree to the terms of the license and want to terminate the installation, click Cancel.
5. On the Product and User Information page, enter your serial number and user information and click Next.
   ImportantThe information you enter here is permanent and is displayed in the AutoCAD Land Desktop 2009 window (accessed by Menu browser Help About) on your computer. Because you can't change this information later without uninstalling the product, make sure you enter the correct information now.
6. On the General Deployment Settings page, choose if you want the deployment to create a network log and/or a client log, run the client installation in silent mode, and if you want users to participate in the Customer Involvement program.
   • When you choose to create a network log file, you also have to specify where the log file is created by entering either a valid UNC (universal naming convention) path or hard-coded path on your network. The network log file is optional.
     NoteThe folder where the network log resides must be a shared folder where users who install the program have Change permissions. Otherwise, successes or failures for user installations cannot be written to the log file.
   • Choose whether you want a client log file created.
   • If you want to prevent users from changing installation settings when they install, select Silent mode.
   • If you choose participation in the Customer Involvement program, Autodesk sends helpful information about the product.

   For more information regarding log files, refer to Specify Log File Locations.

   Click Next.

7. On the Review - Configure - Create Deployment page, click Create Deployment.

   By clicking Create Deployment, an administrative image is created in the shared folder using the deployment options listed in the Current Settings field.
