Repackaging with AdminStudio
 This 4-day course will provide you with a hands-on environment where you will
gain the skills needed to repackage traditional setups into Windows Installer
packages and rapidly customize them using AdminStudio. 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.
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 Prerequisite
You will be given a structured process to adhere to when repackaging to ensure
the creation of robust MSI packages that function correctly and are compliant
with Microsoft guidelines.
Previous InstallShield 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 programs.
- Basic Windows terminology, such as directory, Control Panel, and so
forth.
