i have testet this with kazaa lite
and why is the .msi file 3MB bigger??

[ZoSTeR]

K-Lite's Inno-setup uses (or can use) 7-zip for compression. That's hard to beat with a msi installer.

btw the regular silent switch is:

klitekpp243.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-

[Weed]

and how can i tell adminstudio he should install an "uninstaller" too?
i testet it with winamp, eraser and k-lite...i dont get an uninstaller
i know the silent switch for kazaa..i just wanted to test

[ZoSTeR]

You can uninstall the InstallShield msis via system control -> software.

[Weed]

no i dont mean the program installshield
i mean when i install the repackaged winamp for example i dont get an Uninstall shortcut in Start->Programs->Winamp

[Alanoll]

personally, i like DevSTudio over AdminStudio.

the difference is that AdminStudio has Developer and other goodies, while DevStudio is InstallShield's latest creation combining Developer and Professional into one.

I also like Wise Install Studio, since it is cheaper and can do most of the same stuff as Adminstudio.

[Weed]

for peoples that need that only for repacking i think then is Wise Install Studio the best? cuz the program is alot smaller then Adminstudio

umm how do i repack with Wise Installer ?

[Alanoll]

sorry, correct name is Wise Package Studio.....still cheaper then installshield.


when you first install it, when first run, there will be on the left some check boxes with tasks to do. If all you plan to do is repackage, just run the one the says "Define SetupCapture standards". Just select whatever you want, and any folders you don't want it to monitor, (i have my download folder not monitored for example)

then click the tab that says Tools, and select the option that says SetupCapture. Everything should be pretty straight forward. And easy to use.

i installed the package studio
but i dont have the task "Define SetupCapture standards"
there is only SetupCapture(Windows Installer) and some other tasks..but not for repackage
i only can repack Programs with WindowsInstaller with this Task
i installed the program as Standard Edition and Professional Edition

[Alanoll]

repack is the setup capture, it creates a new install. It does the same thing as AdminStudio thing.

the "Define SetupCapture Standards" is under projects, sorry.
the dropdown box should say InitialWorkbench Setup

[Weed]

Thank You
it works great
i wanna use the Installshield too
but with Adminstudio i dont get an Uninstall shortcut for the repackaged Programs in Startmenü...i want it

[XL-DJK]

I recommend to anyone that if you want to create a great msi, try using the product DevStudio 9. Installshield

[Alanoll]

and did you happen to buy that program?

Now why would you ask such a silly question like that?

I hope your not implying something.....

[Weed]

yey only rich ppls can buy this program o_O
iam using the 30day trial

:/ Unfortunately, it won't let you use it again, the ONLY way I know to date to bypass this is to install it every time you do do a fresh reboot of the comp........

maybe someone can look into how to bypass this?


Oh, and by the way, if you got the connections..... You can get the program

And, uh.I thought that this is a WINAMP topic??? Guys? not DEVSTUDIO! LOL

[Alanoll]

EDIT:: whoopsi

and considering that the program is $1199, you must have a friendly friend.
