Use Alternate Download Destination on Client

Use an alternate package download destination to the managed computer besides the default. This option makes it possible to deliver package files to computers at alternate destinations. When the task executes, the package files will be copied from the internal cache location to the location specified. Copied package files will never be deleted by the Application Control Agent. They will be recopied every time the task is run; so if the task is on a recurring schedule, the files will be copied repeatedly. This can be useful to ensure the user does not delete a required file.

The default of the internal cache location is install path\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Software Delivery{0CC5DF0E-BA6C-4AB3-8471-D6F0377F44D6}\cache.
