Create a New Application in the Deployment Workbench

You can create new applications in the Deployment Workbench using one of the options listed in Table 36. You import operating systems into the Deployment Workbench using the New Application Wizard.

Table 36. Options for Creating a New Application

Option	Select this option to create an application when
Application with source files	The application source files are not available to the destination computer when installing the operating system build or when they must be customized. When you select this option, the application files are copied to the deployment share, and the deployment process installs the application from the deployment share.
Application without source files or elsewhere on the network	The application source files are available during installation of the operating system build or to run a command that requires no application source files. When you select this option, no application source files are copied to the deployment share. Instead, the deployment process installs the application from another location on the network.
Application bundle	A list of applications that you must install in a particular order. This list is specified as dependencies for the application bundle, but the bundle itself does not install anything.

Start the New Application Wizard using one of the following methods:

· In the Deployment Workbench console tree, click the Applications node or a folder beneath the Applications node. Then, in the Actions pane, click New Application.

· In the Deployment Workbench console tree, click the Applications node or a folder beneath the Applications node. Then, from the Action menu, click New Application.

· In the Deployment Workbench console tree, click the Applications node or a folder beneath the Applications node. Then, click New Application.

You can create a new application in the Deployment Workbench for:

· Applications to be deployed from the deployment share as described in Create a New Application That Is Deployed from the Deployment Share

· Applications to be deployed from another network shared folder as described in Create a New Application That Is Deployed from Another Network Shared Folder

· Deploying application dependencies as described in Create a New Application for Deploying Application Dependencies
