Cache vs. Install

[jan_rosenfeld]

Silly question -

If I download the Catalina.app and package it up with Composer -

Upload it to my JSS, and then create a policy to cache it on a target machine

do I want to choose that package and say "Cache" or "Install"? The reason I ask is that - wouldn't I want to "install" the PKG that I made so that it "places" the installer into the users applications folder?

...or am I overanalyzing this and I should just say "cache" - I was under the impression that that would put the PKG someone on the target machine but not "run" it

if your pkg is just dropping the file in say "/Applications" you would use Install. To clarify, if you opened composer and then dragged your file from "/Applications" to composer then created the pkg, you would use install.
