I agree with Jim. The connotation that I get from the word "deploy" is that
an application is installed on multiple systems, whereas, the word
"installation" is per system. I also don't really like the word "undeploy."
When troops are deployed, they are not "un-deployed," they are "withdrawn"
but that wouldn't really work for a Google installation.

Hmmm...in my experience, deployment is usually what the developers do with
an application once it's ready to go-live.
