This deployment utility is similar to creating a program like InstallShield, and is perfect for times when you want to pass a set of packages to a customer or a production DBA who may not know how to install SSIS packages the manual way. When you create a deployment utility, all the files that are necessary to install the project are copied into a centralized directory, and a .SSISDeploymentManifest file is created for the installer to run, which opens the Package Installation Wizard.
To create a deployment utility, simply right-click the project in BIDS and select Properties. In the Property Pages dialog box, go to the Deployment Utility page and change the CreateDeploymentUtility to True, as shown in Figure 8-19. This is set to False by default.
