EMCO MSI Package Builder stays out of borders of typical installation creation tools and straightforward EXE to MSI repackagers. It's not another one MSI editor or builder. You are not limited by feature set bounds and at the same time you don't need to browse hundreds pages of manual and learn specific installation language. Instead you will benefit from automatic and fully visual MSI creation process, based on pioneering 'Live Monitoring' technology.
How can you create MSI or customize existing installation? With MSI Package Builder you can follow traditional way and enter set of files and registry keys for installation manually in visual editor. But you can save a lot of efforts if you try automatic build approach, benefiting from 'Live Monitoring' technology. In this case the process is very easy and consists of just few Steps:
* Start monitoring by pressing a button in the application. This action activates collecting information about changes on file system and registry.
* Start activity to be monitored. It can be original setup file, which you need to execute and follow installation process as usual by selection options and entering data. Or it can be actions, required for new installation, for example, files copying. All correspondent changes on file system and registry are automatically tracked.
* Stop monitoring by pressing a button when monitored activity is finished. All monitored actions are displayed in visual editor and can be changed if required.
* Build MSI automatically using monitoring results.
