Create a New Application for Deploying Application Dependencies

MDT allows for the creation of new applications used to deploy only the dependencies for an application instead of installing the application itself. Create a new application using the New Application Wizard in the Deployment Workbench. The New Application Wizard does not copy source files to the deployment share.

To create a new application for deploying application dependencies

1. Click Start, and then point to All Programs. Point to Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and then click Deployment Workbench.

2. In the Deployment Workbench console tree, go to Deployment Workbench/Deployment Shares/deployment_share/Applications (where deployment_share is the name of the deployment share to which the application will be added).

3. In the Actions pane, click New Application.

The New Application Wizard starts.
