Description

The Indispensable Reference for Administator's Migrating to the Windows Installer Service. InstallShield Software Corporation's AdminStudio product answers every administrator need for repackaging a legacy application into the Windows Installer service (MSI) format for deployment on an MSI-based network such as Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Written by two authorities on the Windows Installer service, this book provides an in-depth review of the standard features and often-missed secrets for creating MSI packages. Baker and Dickau guide you through the intricacies of the Windows Installer service and the complete suite of complementary tools that come with AdminStudio. You learn to solve the most common repackaging tasks and discover techniques for handling the problems that can occur during and after installing a repackaged application in a locked-down environment. This new book from InstallShield Press continues the InstallShield Software Corporation commitment to the latest and best information on the complex world of software installation and management.

"This book provides an in-depth introduction to the Windows Installer Service and the activities that are necessary to repackage legacy applications. Administrator's Introduction to Application Repackaging and Software Deployment using Windows Installer is focused on the administrator who has a responsibility for deployment of software in the organization. Some of the subject matter, however, will be of interest to setup developers as well. This book takes the reader though all aspects of planning and implementing a repackaging project.
This book covers the functionality of AdminStudio 3.5. However, most of the information presented in this book is valid regardless of what version of AdminStudio you are presently using or considering for use." (from the Introduction chapter)
