 Repackaging with AdminStudio
This 2-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 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.
