MSI Packager Professional
The Problem:
The importance of properly prepared applications and deployment has a direct correlation to desktop and application availability.
Lack of quality control, standardization and self installed applications all play havoc in this process with the result being a strain
on your helpdesk and IT resources not to mention a loss in end-user productivity. The bottom line problem is the continued mounting costs
to manage PC desktops and applications on those desktops.
The Solution:
For the first time packaging is completely integrated with what is really running on the desktop not just what exists in packages that have been created.
This integration can be found only in the WinINSTALL MSI Packager Professional edition.
Conflict Assessment - package contents to be compared providing results that show where conflicts exist between packages. Where WinINSTALL goes beyond any competitor is the relationship of package contents, conflict assessment results and real fine inventory in our database. What does this mean?
You now have the ability to compare a machines file inventory with package contents and conflict assessment results to truly understand where conflicts truly hide.
Other packagers check for conflicts between packages, test those packages, and have a good process for package creation that your installations are guaranteed to run.
This is impossible without a comparison to the actual state of the machine. How would you know that installation is guaranteed to work?
Packaging has always had an impact on the desktop even before MSI. Now with WinINSTALL the integration is real and knowing what changes to the environment your packages are really going to make and create can only save useless calls to your helpdesk after package installation. Enterprises with multiple, decentralized teams can access packages maintained by other teams using a single or decentralized databases, meaning packages can be accessed and checked for conflicts across the enterprise.
- Most widely used MSI packager in the world.
- MSI Validation and Automatic Correction - allows the validation of MSI packages against standards such as Microsoft Logo Certification. Potentially dangerous ICE errors are detected and can be automatically repaired.
- Baselining - allows an archived baseline image to be used in the WinINSTALL Discover Before Snapshot to speed package creation dramatically.
- Patch Wizard - makes MSP or Patch file creation easier than ever.
- Point and click - automatic creation of MST (transforms) and MSM (merge modules).
- Package editing - is logically laid out in the MSI Packager Proffesional console and doesn't require scripting or conversion which always presents the risk of accuracy in packaging.
- WinINSTALL MSI Packager Professional supports the use of VMWare for package creation to easily use virtual machines to build and test packages.
- WinINSTALL MSI Packager Professional Edition is licensed per console. A console license is required for each person involved with building and editing packages. Or have an unlimited package creation capability with the full WinINSTALL suites and reap the benefits of packaging integrated with file inventory and start lowering the costs associated with resolving software problems caused by package installation.
