  • SKU: MSIFACTORY


Automated Microsoft Windows Installer (.MSI) format software installer creation that obviates the need to handle MSI database tables, sequences and components.
MSI Factory enables the creation of Microsoft Windows Installer (.MSI) format software installers without the need to deal with MSI database tables, sequences and components: drop in application files, customise the dialogue boxes using the visual dialogue editor and click build.

Key features:

  • Create 100% MSI Format Software Installers: generate 100% pure MSI format installation packages with an optional, fully-scriptable .EXE bootstrap wrapper providing customisation capabilities.
  • Intelligent Development Environment: visual IDE that focuses on the files for distribution rather than on abstract concepts such as components, features and GUIDs. Access is provided to advanced MSI features.
  • Windows Installer XML (WiX) Compiler: Microsoft uses WiX for creating installers for Office, SQL Server, BizTalk and Instant Messenger. MSI Factory can generate WiX compatible source projects and has integrated support for WiX fragments and extensions.
  • Customisable Dialogues: customise the installer using the visual dialogue editor including check boxes, radio buttons, bitmaps, edit fields, list boxes, selection trees, icons and scrollable text etc. Actions include registry editing, shortcut icons, file operations, INI files, environment variables, custom VBScript/JScript, file permissions, installing and controlling services, XML editing and working with ODBC.
  • MSI Bootstrap Chainer with LZMA Compression: fully-scriptable .EXE bootstrap wrapper (chainer) for chaining and sequencing multiple installers and controlling them via the Lua scripting language and functions. Add third party merge modules (.MSM) and components and bootstrap the installation of the .NET and .MSI runtimes, compressing it into a single-file .EXE.
  • Microsoft Windows 95 - 7 Support: installers made with MSI Factory work on all Microsoft Windows operating systems and are fully MSI-format compatible. Make a single installer that is compatible with all Microsoft Windows operating systems including Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows 98 and Windows 95.
