What's a RIP? This forum is for users of Wise Installation Studio, and it's to assist them with authoring Windows Installer setup packages and WiseScript setup packages. You might get better answers if you posted this in the Deployment Solutions forum.

So none of the Altiris Wise tools are designed for deployment, but only for developers? In other words, if I want to take a program that already exists and deploy it, I should head over to the Deployment Solution forums?

I can't effectively answer that. This forum is for setup authors. How those setups are deployed is another thing altogether. There is some overlap, of course. Don't forget that Altiris bought Wise for their setup and repackaging tools. Deployment in the enterprise is not what Wise as all about. That's Altiris' specialty. Deployment Solutions seems like a more logical choice, but I don't know. Perhaps a quick look at the main Altiris page and their products might help point the way.

Thanks, Bill. That's helpful.

Correct.

The Wise tools are for creating installers for software. They do not provide deployment services.

If you are looking for deployment tools, the DS and NS forums are the places to go.
