Using Installers From Other Companies

The Install Packages command only works with installers that use the .pkg or .mpkg file formats, and some applications can't be installed by simply copying the application to the hard disk. To install software using installers with different file formats, you use a combination of administrative tasks.

1. Select a computer list.
2. Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3. Choose Manage > Copy Items.
4. Add the software installer to the copy list.

   For more information, see Copying Files.

5. Select a copy destination.
6. Click Copy.

   The software is copied to the indicated destination. If the copy is unsuccessful, an error message appears in the task feedback window.

7. Select Open After Copy.
8. Select a computer that received the copy of the installer.
9. Choose Interact > Control.
10. Control the screen of the selected computer and complete the installation process interactively.
