How do I decide whether to deploy with a ZIP file, self-installing program, or CDROM?
ZIP files are a good choice if the people who receive your files already have PhotoViewer. You can make a very small ZIP file by excluding PhotoViewer when you deploy, and the recipients can use PhotoViewer to easily import the ZIP file. ZIP files are also a good choice to send to people who are more computer-savvy, since they know many ways to use ZIP files. Self-installing programs are better for less-experienced computer users, since they simply have to run the program, and then PhotoViewer and the Photo Collection Set are easily installed. CDROMs are well suited for Photo Collection Sets that are extremely large, since a CDROM can hold a whopping 640 megabytes. CDROMs are also good for Photo Collection Sets that are precious in content, even if they are small.
