For many years I’ve been working with Wise Package Studio, the best tool ever for application repackaging projects. Since Wise Package Studio is End of life – announced in December 2011. Now seemed like a good time to find a new tool, Flexera Admin Studio seemed like the obvious choice, but is rather expensive (still a great tool)

In some cases Orca (http://www.technipages.com/download-orca-msi-editor) would get the job done, but still would take a long time

I remembered coming across Advanced Installer at TechEd NA, so decide to have a look at the tool

There is a free trial from the website and also a free version: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/download.html

Advanced Installer comes in multiple versions, I choose to test the Architect version, mainly because it had the following features highlighted

• Repacker
• App-V
• SCCM
• MSI Quick-Edit

My test of the product was a great success !

Today I will recommend this product to my customers looking to repackage or edit MSI’s, it has a nice and intuitive interface, much like Wise Package Studio had 😉

Have a look at some of the videos from Advanced Installer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIPx2SPC1K7_DoPdVeFHoNg
