EMCO MSI Package Builder Professional is a straightforward authoring utility that provides you with a reliable means of creating, maintaining and distributing Windows installers, based on the given parameters. It helps you to create MSI packages effortlessly, modify existing packages and repackage setups.
The program keeps a clean and user-friendly interface that you can navigate through in order to create MSI packages, as well as convert complex installations into the MSI format. Additionally, it comes with several wizards that guide you throughout the entire process of converting an EXE installation to a MSI package, creating new projects or simply opening an existing project.
In order to start a new project, simply press the New button, located in the ‘Project Management’ section. Specify a name for the project to be created and a name for the package to be added. After that, you can specify the required data such as manufacturer, version, GUID (also referred to as Globally unique identifier), supported operating systems and summary information.
Apart from that, EMCO MSI Package Builder Professional enables you to set a command, a URL address or a path to a program to be launched before or after the install or uninstall process takes place and define when to execute the selected action.
Since it comes with an intuitive editor and changes monitor tool, the application enables you to create a MSI package by capturing low-level file system and registry changes, Windows services and running processes. However, because of the complexity that the Live Monitoring technology presumes, you need to understand all its particularities in order to get proper installation monitoring results.
Once the project is created and active, you are able to customize it the way you. You can either insert new files, folders and shortcuts, registry keys and user environment variables, or simply repair missing file links and customize uninstall filters.
To wrap it up, EMCO MSI Package Builder Professional enables you to automate the creation of MSI packages using the changes tracking technology or manually personalize it using the integrated visual editor.
