How do I repack an .exe?

CChong

Hi!
I've made a app distribution with InstallShield Developer, but since then, my server crashed and I didn't have a valid backup, of course.

The ready distribution is in .exe format, which includes the .msi file, data1.cab, an .ini file, instmsia and instmsiw.exe and the setup.exe.

Now the problem is that I need to do a change to one of the files resources in the .msi file, that's all well since I can unpack all of the "big" installer .exe with the help of WinRAR, so now the changes are made.

But, how do I get it all back into the "big" exe? There are links, dependancies and stuff that I don't even remember how I set them up, it was quite some time ago I made the app.

In short, can I somehow just "put back" the .msi file into the .exe in some easy or smart way?

I thought maybe AdminStudio's repack function could do that neat trick but it doesn't seem to have that capability after what I can see.

Can someone please help me out here?

If you have each individual file available then you could use PackageForThe Web
to pack it back into a single setup.exe.
