Chris S. Chris S. MM club member Registered: 2002-03-18 Posts: 2368 Loc: Earth	Are you looking to repackage applications or package new applications? I just got my company to purchase InstallShield AdminStudio. It has the best set of features that I was looking for.

Either way, you get the ablity to "roll your own" MSI files and then deploy them. Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Either one that Rad and I point out have the ability to record the start/end state and list what files are placed on the sytem, registry changes, etc. Once this is done, it will show you what it found then generate the MSI file.

Chris S. Chris S. MM club member Registered: 2002-03-18 Posts: 2368 Loc: Earth	InstallShield AdminStudio is a better MSI packager than Wise. Here are some highlights from the box... Repackage using InstallShield expertise (InstallShield holds about an 80% market share) Customize applications using Transforms There are many more features. Visit http://www.installshield.com/ for more info. Pricing AdminStudio and comparing features to Wise, its no contest. Anyway, do your homework before you buy.

Stevie Stevie Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-01-09 Posts: 199	kixscript's very own Bob Kelly has a site devoted to this sort of thing. It's called appdeploy.com and he has a competitive matrix up that compares and contrasts Wininstall, InstallShield and Wise for WindowsInstaller. He also has a bunch of in-depth reviews of the various products. A lot of good info. _________________________ Stevie

Richie19Rich77 Richie19Rich77 Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 624 Loc: London, England	As we are on the subject of remote installs or update installs, I would like to ask a question. I have looked at both Wise and InstallSheild, bith suite my needs, but how do people roll out these installs. Do you do them via the login script, or schedule the remote PC to look at the server for new updates every day say at midnight ???. No problems about installing with admin rights, i have that part sorted . For anti virus updates i do it at the login script, but just wanted some other users views. Thanks [ 17.
