Often repackaged applications are set up for a specific scenario and/or configuration. Repackaging into MSI format is a reasonably easy job, provided you have the correct tools. After all... transforms are technically MSI's answer to repackaging. They allow you to do with MSI exactly what ZenWorks, AdminStudio, PackageStudio and whatever other repackaging tools out there are, do with non-MSI installations. Some are just better with the whole setup analysis bit than others (and InstallShield has long lagged behind other vendors where accuracy is concerned).Stefannoreply@blogger.com
