Chapter 23. Software Installation

Part of a Microsoft Windows XP Professional deployment project is often application installation, particularly on disk images. There are many tools available for deploying applications to existing computers, some of which Microsoft provides (Systems Management Server [SMS], Group Policy, Terminal Services, and so on). This chapter focuses on preparing applications for installation by using the application-deployment tools at your disposal or including them on your disk image. It does refer you to information about using various deployment tools, but it doesn’t cover them individually.
