Deploy TestStand System will allow you to create an installer in which you can include the TestStand Engine.

HI Sivanath,

You will want to include the engine by specifying it in the deployment utility.  For more information about deployment you can take a look at Chapter 14 in the TestStand Reference Manual.  If you look in this chapter you will also see a whole section on Common Deployment Scenarios.  The first one in this section discusses including the TestStand engine.
