Create MSI installer
Hi all,

 

Just downloaded AdminStudio 11.5 SP1 trial version and tried to create simple MSI installer using Repackager as follows:

 

* Run the wizard to create initial snapshot

 

* Run our installation program

 

* Run the wizard to analyze the changes

 

* Open irp project in Repackager and click on "Build" button.

 

The build output:

 

-------------------------------------

 

Starting conversion ...

 

Creating InstallShield project: C:\Packages\MSI_Package\PASS.ism

 

Creating InstallShield project: C:\Packages\MSI_Package\PASS.Context.ism

 

Reading repackager output file

 

Loading registry entries

 

Applying language 'English (code 1033)' to the project

 

Creating components for the files captured

 

-------------------------------------

 

Now its several hours as it "Creating components...". The "Build" button is disabled and it looks like islc.exe fully utilize one of the machine CPUs, so I suppose it still in progress.

 

I run it on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise VMWare machine with just Windows and AdminStudio installed.

 

Are there any estimation how much time should take the conversion process?

 

Is there a way to see the progress (in percent?)?

  • can you reproduce this with another application? ( use a simple legacy setup)

     

    (by the way, running AdminStudio on a "clean Machine" is not advised, but I see that you are using an eval. version of AdminStudio..)
