How EXE to MSI Repackaging Works
Benefit from the simple, step-by-step process, designed to ensure optimal installation repackaging results
Prepare Repackaging Environment
Choose a clean environment for repackaging tasks. This can be either a local or remote virtual machine, with support for various virtualization platforms. Repackaging directly on your local machine is also an option.
Select Installation for Repackaging
Select the executable Windows installation file for repackaging. The tool tracks system changes during the installation, enabling the creation of a package that precisely replicates these modifications.
Configure Package Options
Specify the settings for the output package. Choose the format, such as MSI, MSIX, or App-V. Determine the file location, package signing, and other settings to align with your packaging requirements.
Follow the Installation Process
The tool automatically starts the installation, guiding you through the original setup steps. Choose the required options as the system records any changes you make, ensuring these are reflected in the output package.
Get the Output Package
Upon installation completion, the system halts change tracking and automatically assembles the output package. This package contains all recorded data from the installation, effectively reproducing the captured changes.
Test the Package
If needed, conduct a test of the newly created package. Choose between a virtual machine or your local machine for testing. The package is thoroughly tested, and the results are comprehensively reported.

Our Live Monitoring not only captures installation changes but also identifies the Windows processes that applied them. This feature enables precise tracking of changes, effectively filtering out irrelevant changes applied by system or unwanted processes.
Effective Monitoring Filters
Equipped with a thoroughly tested and refined set of filters, our tool effectively excludes unrelated changes and other non-essential modifications. These filters have been proven across thousands of packages to ensure you get a clean, uncluttered output package.
Application Packaging
Looking to distribute Windows software, modernize legacy installations, or virtualize existing packages for more efficient deployment? Our tool offers a straightforward and efficient solution. It guides you through each task with clear, step-by-step instructions, simplifying complex operations and making the process smoother for you.
Deployment-Ready Packages
Whether you're using GPO, SCCM, Intune, or other tools, generated packages are built for seamless deployment. They install silently, offer universal compatibility with different platforms, and support automatic distribution, meeting all your deployment requirements.
Convert Legacy Installations
Easily transform non-silent installations into silent packages. Upgrade and repackage legacy software into MSI, MSIX, and App-V formats, making them fully compatible with modern deployment tools. Bundle all dependencies into a single deployable package.
Flexible Repackaging Environment
Choose your repackaging environment - your local machine or a VM for a pristine setup. Our tool is compatible with VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, and even Windows Sandbox, offering versatile options for repackaging on both local and remote VMs.
Testing for Reliable Deployment
Ensure your package performs flawlessly before production deployment. Test deployments on a local machine or VM, with our tool providing detailed checks and logging. This step allows testing compatibility with different environments to ensure a smooth rollout.
Creating Installations
Create and fine-tune installations using visual editors. Designed for both beginners and experts, these editing tools allow comprehensive management of all installation aspects without overwhelming complexity. Focus on crafting and refining your installations, while the editors make the process engaging, not daunting.
Output Format Switching
Build output packages in MSI, MSIX, and App-V formats from just one installation project. Each project encapsulates necessary installation changes like files and registry entries, ready to be implemented during deployment, no matter your format choice.
Cross-Environment Deployment
Create packages designed for compatibility with multiple Windows versions and system settings. Our tool automatically transforms environment-specific installation elements into universally applicable resources, ensuring seamless deployment on any system.
Streamlined Update Process
Easily create MSI installations that are update-ready. These installations replace older product versions during deployment, leveraging native update mechanisms of Windows Installer. Setting up updates is as simple as specifying a few properties in a package.

Customizing Installations
Customize any installation by adjusting its deployment behavior, combining several installations into one package, and including dependencies with the main package. Turn complex packaging tasks into more manageable ones. Our tool provides a direct and uncomplicated way to adapt your packages to fit your specific requirements.
Wrap Existing Installations
If your existing installation offers silent deployment, easily wrap it into an MSI package. This wrapped package then deploys the installation with your pre-configured deployment options. Additionally, combine multiple such installations into a single MSI package.
Pre/Post-Install Actions
Customize installations by adding actions to execute before or after the install/uninstall process. Execute system commands, run executable files, or custom scripts from the installation package, fine-tuning the setup to meet your specific requirements.
Per-User/Machine Installations
