    • Create an installation package for the specified executable file. Select this option if you want to create an installation package for a third-party application by using an executable file. Typically, the executable file is a setup file of the application.
      • Copy entire folder to the installation package
      • Specify installation parameters
    • Select an application from the Kaspersky database to create an installation package. Select this option if you want to select the required third-party application from the Kaspersky database to create an installation package.

      When the Wizard finishes, an Administration Server task is created with the name Create installation package upon reference device OS image. When this task is completed, an installation package is created that you can use to deploy the operating system image through a PXE server or the remote installation task.

When the Wizard finishes, an installation package is created that you can use to install the application on client devices. You can view the installation package by selecting Installation packages in the console tree.
