WinINSTALL MSI Packager Professional
Is it time for a WinINSTALL update?
Version Comparison Chart
Almost every enterprise IT organization must routinely deploy applications, updates, or patches. And experience proves that IT practices have a direct impact on the outcome.
Inadequate quality control, lack of standardization, or poorly packaged applications can strain help desks, burden IT resources, and limit end-user productivity. The process always goes more smoothly with properly prepared applications and managed deployment-two practices that correlate directly to application availability.
WinINSTALL provides the most popular and comprehensive software packaging solution on the market. It has a complete set of features to create Windows Installer (MSI) files from existing software installations and to modify existing Windows Installer packages using transforms. Unlike other packaging tools WinINSTALL is ideal for IT administrators while powerful enough for developers.
Key features of WinINSTALL MSI Packager Professional include:
- Package management, to build Windows Installer packages and merge modules, transforms, and patches
- Conflict assessment, to diagnose potential packaging conflicts before installation
- MSI validation and correction, to check (and automatically repair) MSI packages against standards such as the Microsoft Logo Certification
- Baselining, to accelerate package creation via an archived baseline image Patch wizard, to make MSP or patch file creation quicker and easier
- Package editing (logically laid out in the MSI Packager Professional console), to avoid cripting or conversion
- Package distribution, to “advertise” a product to the user and install it only upon request
- VMWare support, to easily use virtual machines for building and testing packages
- Distributed control, to access and check packages for conflicts across the enterprise
