The AdminStudio course will teach you to use AdminStudio
to repackage traditional setups into Windows Installer
packages and customize those packages to meet specific
needs. In this course, you will also gain experience in
creating transforms for existing third-party MSI packages
and identifying and resolving conflicts between packages
before deploying your applications.
Objectives
In this class you will learn:
- How to prepare your development systems, test
systems and documentation for the application-migration
process
- How to use AdminStudio's Repackager
to convert traditional setups to Windows Installer
setups
- How to enhance and customize repackaged setups and
to correct validation errors
- How to use AdminStudio's ConflictSolver
to identify and resolve potential conflicts between
Windows Installer setups before deployment into your
desktop environment
- How to use AdminStudio's Tuner
to customize the installation of existing Windows
Installer setups—such as third-party installations—to
meet your company-specific requirements
- How to use AdminStudio's Process Workflow
tool to create workflows to track and manage any
pre-deployment process
Course Prerequisites
Previous AdminStudio
experience is not required; however, you should be
comfortable with the following:
- Using Windows Explorer and the command prompt to
create and manage files and run executables
- Basic Windows terminology (e.g. DLL, Control Panel,
etc.)
Course Delivery
The following course
sections and topics will be covered in the class. If you
