A couple of more features that you will be happy to see...

Import from SMS (.IPF) and ZENworks (.AXT) files.
A very helpful feature for those who have invested time in SMS or ZENworks packages, AdminStudio's ability to directly convert these packages into Windows Installer packages will surely save those administrators countless hours.

Application Isolation
AdminStudio's Application Isolation Wizard allows you to isolate individual components within a Windows Installer package using Win32 assemblies. This effectively allows you to eliminate shared DLL and COM component conflicts just by following this wizard.

Command Line SetupCapture Execution
With its new command line support, SetupCapture can now be used to perform automated or unattended repackaging functions.

Process Workflow Management Interface
A feature you will quickly grow to love, the new "Process Workflow Management" feature is a configurable checklist you can create and follow to help ensure consistency in your packaging operations. For each item, a description, an associated command line to launch a tool and HTML help provide an excellent interface for packaging tasks. 

InstallShield's AdminStudio makes up a set of indispensable tools that no administrator should be without. Repackaging and authoring, customization and conflict detection, InstallShield has it all covered. Version 3.0 is technically only the second release of AdminStudio, but InstallShield has been developing most of these these tools individually for years. Looking ahead to the next release, one should expect to see more integration between the tools and improved assistance in the resolution of detected conflicts. Despite this, InstallShield has done a great job meeting the needs of administrators and we look forward to seeing what they will do next!
