Files Generated by the WebClient Application Assembler

After you have defined the installation requirements for your application, and you are ready to deploy your application, use the WebClient Application Assembler Generate dialog box to create the deployment files for a version of your application. To access the Generate dialog box, shown in Figure 7–9, choose Generate... from the Deployment drop-down menu or choose the Generate button on the toolbar.

Figure 7–9: WebClient Application Assembler Generate Dialog Box

Whenever you use the Generate dialog box to create a version of your application, the WebClient Application Assembler creates a directory to store the deployment files for the current version of the application. The directory name matches the name you enter in the Version Information Name field in the Generate dialog box and is a subdirectory of the Output Directory. The name for this version directory appears in the Version Directory field of the Generate dialog box.

When you regenerate a version of the application, the WebClient Application Assembler first deletes all the files in the version directory and then regenerates the deployment files.

CAUTION: You must not regenerate a version of an application that you have already deployed.

When you generate a version of your application, the WebClient Application Assembler validates and updates the information about your application and creates the following files:

NOTE: If you use an external installer, you must prepare this install image yourself.
