The folder contains the following files:

• Changelog.txt — contains a record of changes that were made to the autodeploy package over time.

• Parallels Desktop Autodeploy.pkg — this is the actual autodeploy package that you need to prepare for mass deployment of Parallels Desktop. To view the package contents, right-click it and choose Show Package Contents.
