MSI Package Builder is an installation authoring tool that allows you to build MSI packages using easy visual interface and also customize and repackage third-party installations to 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.

Exclusive! Simplified Windows Installer MSI Development
InstallAware’s powerful MSIcode simplifies setup development by transparently managing all of your Windows Installer conditions, installation sequences and parameters using a concise and human-readable setup language. Drop-in setup actions are configured using dialogs, without requiring programming skills. MSIcode builds a standard Windows Installer database package that fully supports advertising, install-on-demand, elevated privilege installation, and resiliency.

Exclusive! Mirrored Code and Visual Development
InstallAware’s advanced development tools include wizards, templates, drag-and-drop editing, and refined task views-with the added benefit of immediate MSIcode generation. Start a project in seconds in with visual tools, then switch to the Code View to add branching logic, variables, and advanced configuration options. Unlike InstallShield’s isolated script and visual environments, when you modify settings in one view, the other view changes instantly.

Exclusive! One-Click Technology Preinstalls
Deploy technology modules and runtimes, such as Microsoft SQL Express 2005, from your setup in a single step. Any related preinstalls are added to your project automatically. Plus, the preinstall sequence branches by platform.

InstallAware Virtualization creates virtualized applications which run inside a secure sandbox on end-user systems, providing full access to all original application dependencies such as ActiveX controls and dynamic libraries, powered by a virtual file system and registry. InstallAware Virtualization is the result of collaborative effort between InstallAware and Softanics, Inc. Unlike VMware ThinApp and Microsoft App-V, InstallAware Virtualization packages do not pre-extract anything on the computer they are running on. They run immediately from a single, truly portable executable file instead, which could reside on a network location, a USB drive, or a physical hard disk. InstallAware Virtualization is also based on an agentless architecture, which eliminates the need to pre-install agent code on target devices – all that is necessary to run is the single portable executable file. Again unlike VMware or Microsoft offerings, InstallAware Virtualization is licensed royalty-free, without requiring separate client access licenses for each user. All companies need is one license per developer who will be using the toolkit to create virtualized applications. InstallAware Virtualization also includes PackageAware, a wizard which converts any application to a virtualized application based on a working setup file for the application. The original sources of the application are not required, and the application virtualization project created by PackageAware may be further modified in the main InstallAware Virtualization IDE, using common GUI development metaphors. Application virtualization technology enables users without administrator rights to run software on their systems which would ordinarily require those rights. Even if an application requires access to protected system locations, once virtualized, those requests are seamlessly redirected to the secure sandbox. This fulfills application requirements and maintains security on the target computer at the same time.

Stardust Setup Packager 3.5 provides developers with a solution for packaging one or more installation programs into a single self-extracting executable, suitable for Internet distribution.

An easy to use wizard guides you step-by-step through the process of converting your installations into a single self-extracting .exe file.

A variety of features are included for those who need them: digital code signing, password protection, expiration date, welcome prompt, nested packaging, and more.
