Setup.exe to MSI??

Hi,

Firstly I must say Im fairly new to Install Shield Admin Studio. But have been using zenworks for many years now.


I've got a setup.exe packaged with installshield, and 2 .CAB files along with it. If I run setup.exe -a I get a usual folder like
{5624c000-b109-11d4-9db4-00e0290fcac5} in the temp dir but this contains a small setup.inx and no msi.

The package is a VPN client that we want to add some VPN tunnel details into the Installer or a transform. But without an MSI I cant see how to apply a transform.. any one got any ideas how I can repackage this installer to get an msi.

I dont think I can snapshot the install as the installer installs some VNP virtual network card and snap shotting this install will cause problems with the virtual hardware when installed on another machine.
:confused:

The setup.inx file is an InstallShield Professional engine file.

While I agree, that the setup.exe was packaged with InstallShield. I don't believe that it has yet to be repackaged by AdminStudio into MSI form. First step is to run the repackaing process.
