Packaging & Compiling .msi packages for deployment over SCCM, GPO, or administrative network install

We are soon moving to SCCM at work and therefore we are going to need msi packages to deploy for software installs and updates. We purchased AdminStudio 9.0 along with InstallShield to repackage windows legacy installations into scripted msi packages. I figure it would be wise to document my progress as I go and also thought people out there could benefit from it. Yay for open source knowledge! Please bare with me as I am learning as I go here. Feel free to comment or correct me. I will gladly take criticism to find out the correct procedure or answer. I will be posting each app package tutorial separately. Please check back for updates.

Another great resource for Deploying MSI packages is www.appdeploy.com.

    Just to clarify…I think msi’s are only required if using GPO. If you are doing network installs or using SCCM you can use whatever you’d like. MSI’s are not required.
