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?)?
