Customize MSIs with InstallShield 2009

With AdminStudio, you can quickly customize MSI and virtual packages to meet the needs of every group in your enterprise.

The AdminStudio Editor enables you to directly edit any part of an MSI installation, such as adding or modifying files or registry entries, adding merge modules and Web services, modifying any user interface elements you choose to display, and changing shortcuts.

The AdminStudio Editor is powered by InstallShield 2009, the world's standard in MSI authoring and editing. New enhancements include support for Windows Installer 4.5, Visual Studio 2008, installation chaining, and Arabic and Hebrew setup text. It also has four new graphical InstallShield MSI tools that make it far easier to troubleshoot MSIs.

Plus, the AdminStudio Editor makes it easy to edit every aspect of VMware ThinApp and Citrix XenAppvirtualpackages, from modifying registry settings to controlling isolation options at a granular level, quickly and easily. It speeds up editing while eliminating errors that often occur. (Please note: ThinApp* and Citrix support requires the AdminStudio Virtualization Pack.)

AdminStudio also provides a fast way to build Windows Installer transforms (MST files) for modifying MSI packages.

*Requires separate purchase of VMware ThinApp
