How to Create an MSI Package?

How to make MSI packages and what are the advantages of using EMCO MSI Package Builder? The application simplifies installation authoring by making use of the visual editor and changes tracking technology, which is used to generate installation project data. To create an MSI, you can certainly follow the traditional way and specify the installation resources and actions through the visual editor, but it is more efficient to use the Live Monitoring technology.

Limitation of EMCO MSI Package Builder

EMCO MSI Package Builder is primarily used by network administrators who need to create preconfigured silent installations ready for automatic remote deployment. Hence, it has a limited set of features for creating fully functional MSI packages designed for an interactive installation. The limitations include the following:

• Only silent MSI packages can be created. There is no option to add an installation GUI wizard.
• The created MSI packages can include file system and registry changes, manage Windows shortcuts, services, and environment variables, and execute custom actions before and/or after installations. There is no access to editing low-level MSI tables.
• Non-silent Windows system software installations, including driver installations, OS patches and Windows system tools, cannot be converted into MSI packages. This technological limitation is common for all types of installation repackaging solutions.
