It’s been awhile since AppDeploy took a close look at AdminStudio, but not as long as it looks! Reviews of version 2, 3, 3.5… now 5.5? No, we didn’t skip version 4- there never was one. So, you may expect a bit extra from not just a major version release, but one that is so big it bypasses a version number altogether! Expect it and get it- this latest release from InstallShield is a significant step forward. As usual, we will take a brief look at each of the core components:

• Repackager – Generate Windows Installer setups by collecting changes made by a legacy setup.exe

• Tuner – Create transform files (MST) to customize or modify the installation of an MSI package

• DevStudio – Author your own Windows Installer setups

• ConflictSolver – Resolve conflicts between other packages and OS baselines configurations

• QualityMonitor - MSI installation testing and tracking tool

• Distribution Wizard - Prepare MSI packages for deployment by several top distribution systems

Finally, we will wrap things up with a quick discussion about the other editions of AdminStudio available and finally a quick summary. We start with the Repackager.
