Software Distribution - Install Path

(imported topic written by cstoneba)

Just a general question. When we

BigFix admin

deploy a software package using the Software Distribution Wizard, what do people do about the install path? Say you need to repair the installation down the road, but the original install file does not exist on the computer. Do people update the install path entry in the registry so that it points to a network share? Do people keep the install folder locally?

Should I not be installing apps from the default __Download folder?

You could copy the files to a repository before running them… Here is another similar thread (but not sure how useful it is):
