Package vs Package from Definition

[Kevin79]

What is the real difference between these two? Should I use Package from Definition whenever installing with an MSI file? (I.E. Adobe Reader, Symantec Endpoint Protection, etc). Should I deploy Office 2010 this way using ProPlusWW.msi located in the ProPlus.WW folder?

All this does is pre-define certain things for you. You're probably better off managing the whole process yourself, and making sure that your command lines are correct. I rarely like to use templates for anything (this included), because I usually do things differently from most people.

 

My suggestion: Just continue defining your packages and programs yourself.

 

Hope this helps.
