Installing Deep Freeze on the Workstation After a customized installation program file has been created using the Configuration Administrator, Deep Freeze can be deployed to computers using an Attended Install, a Target Install, the Silent Install System, or as part of an imaging process. All background utilities and anti-virus software should be disabled and all applications should be closed prior to installation. These programs may interfere with the installation, which could result in Deep Freeze not functioning correctly. The computer restarts after any type of installation is completed. Deep Freeze must be in a Thawed state for any type of uninstall to succeed. Any existing ThawSpace will be deleted during an uninstall if: • The option to retain existing ThawSpace was not checked in the Configuration Administrator. • The ThawSpace was not created with Deep Freeze Enterprise Version 5 or later.
