Locations for Publish, Install, and Update
The publish location, specified on the Publish page in the
Project painter, determines where the application files are generated
or copied to when you publish the application. It can be an HTTP
address, an FTP site, or a UNC address.
The install location, specified on the Install/Update
page, determines where the end user obtains the initial version
of the application. It can be an HTTP address or UNC address, by
default the same address as the publish location specified in the
wizard, or a CD or DVD. The install location does not need to be
the same as the publish location. For example, you can publish the application
to an FTP site, but specify that users get the application and updates from
a Web site.
The update location, also specified on the Install/Update
page, determines where the user obtains updated versions of the
application. If the install location is an HTTP address or UNC address,
the update location is always the same as the install location.
If the application was installed from a CD or DVD, updates must
be obtained from an HTTP or UNC address.
