Repackaging

[JohanLoos]

I recently bought some smart cards, but the software is installed with a traditional exe file. I want to repackage the setup to an MSI file. It is easier for me to deploy the package via GPO.

I've run the repackager with a OS snapshot and the system wrote some file in my directory such as programfolder, systemfolder,windowsfolder and one msi file of 3 Mbyte. The total size of all files is 10 Mbyte.

Now, I want to create ONE single package that contains all files and subfolders.
How can this be done. I use adminstudio 5

thanks for your help
regards
Johan

The next step is to use the .IRP file to build an .ISM project and an .MSI release. Also you will want to validate the project for best practices. There is a "repackaging rant" on my blog that talks about this a little and why I don't subscribe to point-n-click create an install wizards.
