Editor's review
This is a software product that lets you build software installers, which in turn make installation easy.
MSI Package Builder is a tool allows you to create MSI packages. This is easily done through the visual interface. It can customize and repackage third-party installations into MSI format. This tool lets you produce MSI packages for silent or automatic and remote deployment. That makes the job of the IT guys a little easier. The package would also let you repackage the non-silent EXE installations to silent MSI packages. Automatic installations through group policies and other tools make this chore a simpler for the IT department. The developers claim to have used a live monitoring technology to make creating, customizing and repackaging the installers quite an automatic process. This enables capture of file system and registry change details and uses them to generate MSI package. What happens is it will monitor installation actions and create MSI that reproduce them. There is no need to specify the changes manually through the built in editor. This lets you start the live monitoring then copy files to a required folder. A MSI gets created that is capable of installing the files to the folder.
Installer repackaging becomes easy with this process. The application is easy and intuitive and doesn`t require the user to have any special training. The visual editor is intuitive to use, but for the experienced programmer creating the installer. This is not for everyone. The live monitoring, on the other hand, could be used even by beginners. This version has additional features over the starter pack (mainly for trying out) that makes it more useful.
