Part 2 of 6: Windows XP to Windows 7 using a USB Drive - Adding Applications, OS and Packages
Applications can be deployed as a part of the operating system image or after the operating system is deployed to the target computer. To prepare for deployment you’ll need to create an application portfolio that includes a list of applications and the compatibility status of each application. You’ll also want to identify any dependencies between applications, determine whether to deploy applications with the operating system image or afterwards. Applications can be after the operating system using any software-deployment software, such as MDT 2010, Group Policy Software Installation or the Software Deployment feature in System Center Configuration Manager. In our case we’re going to include a couple of applications in our deployment so we need two things to configure the application, the source files and the quiet setup command. We’ll install two applications: Foxit Reader 2.3 and Video Lan Media Player. We’ll also install drivers, with a selection of drivers to import from existing MDT Deployment share. Finally we’ll import an Operating System source files, and packages which can be CAB or MSU files, such as security updates, service packs, feature packs, or language packs. For this screencast, we have a couple of language packs to install as well. Click here to try Windows 7 for free
