Installing a deployment package

To manually install a study in the InForm application:

If you are deploying to an InForm release prior to 6.1, you must use the PKGInst.exe file from the Central Designer software distribution to process the deployment package and install the study to the InForm application.
1. Copy the PKGInst.exe file in the InstallSupport folder on the software distribution.
2. Paste the file to the InForm server, and run the deployment from that location.
Save a deployment package to the file system.
Save the package in a location from which it can be retrieved (for example, a folder on a shared network).
Install the deployment package on the computer where the InForm application is running. You must have the following administrative privileges on the InForm computer:
- Permission to install and register COM objects.
- Permission to write to the \bin and \Trials folders in the InForm directory structure.
You can install a deployment package:
- Using the Deployment Wizard.
- Using command-line options. Using this feature, you can execute a deployment package by running a script that contains command-line deployment options or a reference to a configuration file of deployment options.
- From the Deployment page in the InForm application (for InForm release 6.1 and later). For more information, see the InForm User Guide.
If you migrated to Central Designer release 2.1.2 or later and this is the first time you are deploying to InForm release 6.1.1 or later, you must do one of the following to update the workflow rules for the study.
- Run the pfadmin updateworkflow command.
  For more information, see the InForm Installation Guide or the InForm Study and Reporting Setup Guide.
- In the InForm application, run rules in batch mode.
  For more information, see the InForm User Guide.
