Hi All,

Me new here.

I want to make an MSI Package. I have downloaded JInitiator 1.3.1.25 from Oracle. I want to make it a MSI and push it out on our Wndows 2003 Server network using the GPO.

Please advise which sofwtare is good for me and in future I can use it too to make MSI packages?

Thank you.

Hi,

Advanced Installer is a MSI package authoring tool, not a repackager. You need to determine what files and registry entries are installed by the JInitiator setup and then create a project in AI.

You can use Filemon and Regmon (http://www.sysinternals.com) to determine what files and registry entries are created during the setup process.

Regards,
Gigi

Thank you for your response.

On a new computer I installed Windows XPP and then I installed Filemon and Regmon and then I installed Advance Installer and the very end I installed the JInitiatpr Version 1.3.1.25.

I run the File mon and monitor the folder which is C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator ..... and from there on I have no clue what to do.

Advise please.

Thank you.

Hi,

With Filemoon and Regmoon you can determine what files/registry entry are created during the JInitor setup process. After this you can create a package with those files in Advanced Installer by putting the files in "Files and Folders" page and create registry entries (if exist) in the "Registry" page.

Regards,
Gigi
