# Creating an Inventory-Collector Package
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
- Windows 8.1
|
||
- Windows 8
|
||
- Windows 7
|
||
- Windows Server 2012
|

|

You can use Application Compatibility Manager (ACM) to create an inventory-collector package. You can then deploy the inventory-collector package to other computers to gather inventory data. The package uploads inventory data to the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) database.
|
||
|
||
**To create an inventory-collector package**
|
||
|
||
1. In ACM, click **Collect** to open the **Collect** screen.
|
||
|
||
2. On the **File** menu, click **New**.
|
||
|
||
3. Click **Application inventory**.
|
||
|
||
4. Provide the information that is requested for the package, and then click **Create**.
|
||
|
||
5. Browse to the location where you want to save the Windows® Installer (.msi) file for the package.
|
||
|
||
You can use this .msi file to install the inventory-collector package on each computer for which you want to gather inventory data.
|
||
|
||
6. Type a file name for the .msi file, and then click **Save**.
|
||
|
||
7. Click **Finish**.
