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.

Publisher's description

MSI Package Builder is a tool that allows you to create MSI packages using easy visual interface and also customize and repackage third-party installations into MSI format. You can use it to produce MSI packages ready for silent deployment and repackage non-silent EXE installations to silent MSI packages in order to prepare them for automatic remote deployment through Group Policy and other tools.
It is really easy to create, customize or repackage installations using unique Live Monitoring technology, provided by this tool. This technology allows to capture file system and registry changes and use this information to generate MSI package. It makes possible instead of specifying installation changes manually though visual editor, just monitor installation actions and create MSI that reproduce them. For example, you can start Live Monitoring, then just copy files to a required folder and once you will stop monitoring you will get an MSI that will install files to the folder.
Live Monitoring feature can be used to repackage third-party EXE installations to MSI format. This process is simple and straightforward - you just start monitoring and follow installation steps. When installation is completed you can stop monitoring and get MSI package that will perform exactly same actions as the original installation. One of the important advantages of using Live Monitoring technology over other repackaging methods is an ability to filter out unwanted changes performed by background system processes. It allows to have more accurate repackaging results.
