Choose a Repackaging Method

Start EXE to MSI conversion by choosing a repackaging method. Use wrapping if the EXE installer supports silent deployment, or use repackaging by monitoring system changes.

Monitor Changes

Enable real-time tracking to capture system changes automatically. To repackage an existing setup, just run its installer — the program will detect all modifications and use them to create an MSI package.

Generate a Package

The system changes captured during monitoring are automatically included in the output. The program builds a portable, production-ready MSI package by handling all necessary steps for you.

Review a Project

Optionally review your MSI project to verify the captured changes. This is useful for projects created through monitoring, so you can confirm all required modifications are included.

Add Customizations

If needed, you can add custom actions such as scripts or executables to run before or after installation or uninstallation, allowing you to apply required changes to the system.

Test the Created Package

Verify that your MSI package works as expected by testing it. The program lets you deploy the package on a VM or in Windows Sandbox to ensure it meets your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I repackage multiple installations into a single MSI?
Yes, you can repackage multiple installations into a single MSI. If the installers support silent deployment, you can wrap multiple EXE setups into one MSI for sequential execution. Alternatively, you can use installation monitoring to capture system changes made by multiple setups and generate a single MSI package that replicates their combined deployment.
Are generated packages compatible with different platforms?
Yes. You can generate MSI packages for x86 and x64 platforms. x86 packages work on both x86 and x64 Windows, while x64 packages are for x64 systems. Generated MSI packages are environment-independent and support different system configurations, ensuring portability and reliable deployment.
Is it possible to update MSI packages?
Yes, generated MSI packages include built-in update functionality. To enable updates, you need to configure the update settings in the project. Once configured, a new version of the MSI package can automatically detect and uninstall the previous version during installation. This ensures a smooth transition to the updated package without requiring manual removal of older versions.
Can I create as many MSI packages as I need?
Create unlimited packages without restrictions on quantity. The program allows you to generate as many packages as needed for your projects.

Yes, the trial version of EMCO MSI Package Builder includes all features available in the full version.
