Overwrite files created by other solutions

Skip solution if it cannot be deployed

By default, the installation is stopped if a solution cannot be deployed. When enabling this option, any deployment error is ignored and the installation process continues.

Select target websites during install

If this option is selected the user will be prompted with a list containing all the available websites from which he can select one or more. This option inserts the BrowseIISWebsiteDlg dialog in the dialogs chain.

Deploy globally

If this option is selected the SharePoint solution will be installed on all the available websites that support SharePoint solutions deployment.

Deploy to all nonadministrative virtual servers in a farm

If this option is selected the SharePoint solution will be deployed to all the available virtual servers that are of nonadministrative type.

Deploy only to the current server

The SharePoint solution will be deployed on the current SharePoint server of the machine running the installation package.

Deploy immediately

The SharePoint solution will be deployed at the installer's runtime depending on the option selected as "Deployment target". If the Deploy only to the current server option is selected the solution will be deployed only to the selected server, otherwise the deployment operation will be executed on all selected or available websites.

Deploy at a specific time

The SharePoint solution will be deployed at the specified date and time to all the available servers that support SharePoint deployment. This field is of Formatted Type and can be edited using Smart Edit Control.

You can assign a property or write directly in the edit box the time and date.

If you want to set the deployment time using a property, an easy and quick way to do it is:

• Click anywhere in the field.
• From the context menu select the "Property..." option.
• In the Property Picker Dialog press the [ New... ] button.
• In the Edit Property Dialog write the name of a public property for the Name field.
• In the Value field write the time and date.

The supported "date:time" format is culture-specific to the administrative language. Ex: "5/25/2018 17:30:12".
