What is Windows Pre-Application installation in MDT ? What all components gets installed during this stage ? There's also Post-application installation after this step, I want to understand why we have a pre-application stage as well.

It seems to interrupt one of my Application in the App bundle, is it necessary to have pre-application enabled in the task sequence or can I disable it and add later? please advice

    Hi,

    In Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), the "Windows Pre-Application Installation" stage is a phase in the deployment process where you can perform tasks before installing applications and drivers on a target computer.

    The "Post-application installation" stage. This stage occurs after the core operating system, applications, and drivers have been installed on a target computer during the deployment process.

    If the "Windows Pre-Application Installation" stage is causing issues or conflicts with one of your applications, and you can achieve the same results by customizing the application deployment itself or using a "Post-application installation" stage, you might consider disabling it.
