AdminStudio 64-bit – No Native Support Yet

Monday, June 29th, 2009

As far as I can see AdminStudio 9.0, made by Acresso has yet to develop a repackager that works natively on a 64-bit OS. You can repackage MSI’s on a 32-bit host and they will run on a 64-bit OS, but in 32-bit mode. I am hoping in the near future that this will change as I have some 64-bit apps that I would like to repackage for silent installations.

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

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

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.
