What is Application Packaging?
Application packaging is a process of creating an installer for an application. It works depending upon the windows installer system service. In the repackaging, we create a customized installer for an Application by using this technology we can easily install, maintain and uninstall the applications.
What is the Windows installer?
Windows Installer is a system service for installing and managing applications. It provides a standard method for developing, customizing, installing, and updating applications.
Windows Installer provides the following basic functions:
- Transactional operations
- Self-healing
- Install on demand
- Installation in locked-down environments
- States Management
Structure of MSI Package:
The package is a collection of features, a feature is the collection of components, Component is the collection of resources, Resources nothing but files, registries, shortcuts and other data file.
Why we go for Application packaging?
Because existing software installation solutions have grown complex and unreliable. If Windows applications can’t be installed and uninstalled without problems, this ultimately reflects poorly on the operating system itself.
Let’s take a look at some of the problems with software installation on Windows that existed before the Windows Installer
- DLL Version Conflicts
- Too Much Software Installed
- Lack of Administrative Control
- Need for Administrative Rights
- Varying Setup Routines
- Uninstalls Break Other Software
- Software Isn’t Resilient
- Failed Installations Make a Mess

- AdminStudio Repackager tool
- AdminStudio InstallShield
- Orca Tool
Advantages of Application Packaging:
- Customized Installation.
- Reduce Support Costs.
- Self Repair.
- Source Resiliency.
- Unattended Install.
- Versioning and sharing rules for libraries and other components are consistently followed.
- Features can be “advertised” so that they appear to be installed without taking the time to actually install them.
- Administrators can control exactly what gets installed on computers in an enterprise.
- The software can be installed even when the user can’t modify the desktop or Registry directly.
- Setup programs use one uniform API on all platforms.
- All changes during setup can be “rolled back” for a clean uninstall.
- The software can be repaired or reinstalled by calling the Windows Installer.
- Failed installations make no changes to the user’s computer.
