Package Installation Wizard UI Reference

Use the Package Installation Wizard to deploy a Integration Services project, including the packages and miscellaneous files it contains and any package dependencies.

Before you deploy packages, you can create configurations and then deploy them with the packages. Integration Services uses configurations to dynamically update properties of packages and package objects at run time. For example, the connection string of an OLE DB connection can be set dynamically at run time by providing a configuration that maps a value to the property that contains the connection string.

You cannot run the Package Installation Wizard until you build an Integration Services project and create a deployment utility. For more information, see Deploy Packages by Using the Deployment Utility.
