An installation bundle is a subset of the OpenEdge software image that contains the products for which you are licensed, and provides a convenient means to replicate an installation throughout your environment

The advantages of the installation bundle are that you can easily copy and install it on multiple computers. It occupies lesser disk space on the target computer because it contains only the files of the selected products.

You can create the installation bundle that contains only the files required for the selected products using the OpenEdge custom installation bundle utility. When you run the installation program from the installation bundle that you created, only your selected OpenEdge products are installed.

For information about how to create a custom installation bundle on the UNIX or Linux machines, see Create a custom installation bundle for UNIX or Linux machines.
