Package Identifier

Greetings again,

I went back almost 10 pages and wasnt able to find what i was looking for and unfortunately i am not good at using a search option.

Heres what im looking for, i remember Gigi mentioning they exist in a previous post; It identifies what changes are made to the registry when a package is installed, like for making addon's to other packages one might need to know what values in the registry are there created by the original file. Any thoughts?

Hi,

I think what you mean is a repackager tool and Advanced Installer does not have such a capability yet. This feature is on our TODO list and it will be implemented in a future version (most probably next version).

There is however an approach that you could use. If the installation you are trying to repackage is not too complex, then you might determine what files and registry entries are installed by this package and then create a project in AI.

For this you can use Filemon and Regmon (free utilities available from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysint ... fault.mspx) to monitor the files and registry entries created during the setup process. With this information, you can create a new project in Advanced Installer.

Hope this helps,
Gigi
