Welcome View and the Main Features
The Welcome view provides quick and easy access to the main features. It allows you to repackage installations using installation capturing or wrapping. Additionally, you can create a new installation project or open an existing one for editing.
Installation Repackaging Wizard
The Installation Repackaging wizard streamlines the repackaging process. It guides you through a series of steps, where you'll make selections from various options to tailor your installation package. The wizard simplifies complex tasks, ensuring accurate and efficient creation of your final output package.
Repackaging on a Local Machine, VM, or Sandbox
The program enables you to repackage installations on your local machine, in Windows Sandbox, or on a VM. It supports VMware, Hyper-V, and VirtualBox, allowing for repackaging on both local and remote VMs. This feature provides the flexibility to switch between different repackaging environments based on your requirements. All processes are automated, including VM snapshots management and copying data.
Creating MSI, MSIX and App-V Packages
The program enables the creation of output packages in the format of your choice. With the same captured data and installation project, you can generate packages in MSI, MSIX, or App-V formats. The process of creating packages is simplified, allowing you to generate packages in different formats at any time with just a single mouse click.
Package Generation Options
Configure and customize properties for MSI, MSIX, and App-V packages effortlessly through user-friendly options. These include setting a custom product name, version, icon, and language settings. You have the flexibility to choose whether the package will be installed per machine or per user. Additionally, if updating a previous software version is required, you can enable update features and specify the update parameters. There is also the option to sign generated packages with your digital certificate.
Projects Storage
The Projects Storage view offers quick access to all your installation projects. Here, you can easily review available projects, examine their properties, and open any project for editing with just a single click.
Installation Project
Each installation's content and settings are organized and stored in a dedicated project within the program. Projects can be manually created and populated, or automatically generated during installation repackaging, filled with captured data. The project interface presents options to review and edit project content, enabling you to tailor and generate the necessary output package.
Project Editors
Every project encompasses a variety of resources that are deployed during package installation. Within the project, you can utilize various editors to review and modify this content. Each editor is specialized for handling specific types of package data. This allows you to efficiently edit different aspects of the installation, such as the file system, registry, services, drivers, and other resource types.
Platform-Independent Packages
Develop platform-independent packages by substituting absolute file system paths with specialized system folder placeholders in the installation's file system resources. These placeholders adapt to specific paths at the time of package deployment, allowing for seamless deployment on machines with varying system configurations.
Pre and Post-Installation Actions
Enhance the functionality of a package by defining actions to be executed before or after the package's installation and uninstallation. This can include running system commands or executing scripts or executables incorporated within the package. Utilize this feature to tailor and customize existing installations according to specific requirements.
Installations Wrapping
Wrap and incorporate existing installations into a newly generated package for repackaging purposes. In this method, the original installation remains unaltered and is deployed using specified command-line parameters when the outer package is installed. This approach allows you to wrap one or multiple installations, including setup files, MSI packages, scripts, or other executables, into a single package.
Packages Management
In the dedicated Packages view, you can review and manage both packages created by the program and those imported into it. This feature enables you to examine package properties, open packages for editing, and execute packages in a test environment for thorough testing.
Package Deployment Testing
Ensure that packages function correctly. The program offers testing capabilities on various platforms, including a local machine, Windows Sandbox, or VMs. Utilize any VM accessible within the program, including those previously used for repackaging. This testing encompasses all aspects of the package lifecycle, including installation, execution of the installed program, and uninstallation. All testing results are automatically monitored and documented for review and analysis.
VM Profiles Management
This feature enables you to set up and utilize virtual machines for the repackaging of installations and the testing of packages. You can define configurations for VMware, Hyper-V, and VirtualBox servers and add VMs as needed. This setup streamlines the process, allowing you to establish your repackaging and testing environments. Once configured, you can swiftly select and employ the required VM for any specific task.
