The Share Name must be unique. You cannot enter the name of an existing share.

Enter the External Name of the server hosting the Deployment Folder configured, or accept the default value presented. This is the name users will use to access the server. The default value is the machine name of the machine containing the shared folder.
Note:
The External Name field is only available if Advanced Mode is selected on the Welcome to the Deployment Creation Wizard dialog.
-
Click Next. The Folder Share Permissions dialog is displayed if you are installing the deployment to a local drive (e.g., C:):
This dialog allows you to add or remove the users and groups that have read access to the Deployment Folder. By default, the local Everyone group is given read access.

Click Next. The Package Extraction dialog is displayed, which displays the progress of the installation.
-
Click Next when the extraction has completed. The General Settings dialog is displayed.
Note:
The General Settings dialog is not displayed for all modules, depending on the type of application being deployed. For example, desktop shortcuts cannot be created for the Microsoft Office add-ins so the General Settings dialog is not displayed.
Select Create Desktop Shortcuts to create a shortcut to the deployed application on the client machine when the application is first installed on the client machine.
Note:This option is only available for new deployments.

Click Next.
