Repackaging Legacy Installations Using The Repackaging Wizard - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 User Manual

Repackaging Legacy Installations
Using the Repackaging Wizard
Installations created for the Windows Installer service dramatically differ from traditional installations, making
reusing legacy installations impossible without using a repackaging tool. You can use Repackager's Repackaging
Wizard to capture the data placed on your system during installation and convert it into a Windows Installer (
package, which you can then customize and distribute according to your organization's needs.
Documentation regarding using the Repackaging Wizard is presented in the following sections:
