Product Documentation
This product offers you two choices for authoring installations: Wise Installation Studio
or Wise Installation Express. Both products build on established Wise technologies.
In effort to simplify our product lines, we have discontinued the Wise for Windows
Installer and Wise Installation System product lines. The technologies that were in those
products are now included in Wise Installation Studio and Wise Installation Express.
Wise Installation Studio
Wise Installation Studio is an advanced installation authoring tool that supports both
Windows Installer (.MSI) and WiseScript installations. Wise Installation Studio is a
comprehensive collection of tools and technologies for creating software installations for
Windows devices:
Windows Installer Editor
This tool is comparable to Wise for Windows Installer - Professional and Enterprise
Editions. Use it to create and edit Windows Installer installation packages.
WiseScript Package Editor
This tool is comparable to Wise Installation System - all editions. Use it to create
and edit installation packages based on the WiseScript scripting language.
Wise Virtual Package Editor
Use this tool to create and edit a virtual software layer, a virtual software project
file, or a virtual software archive file.
When you choose to install Virtual Package Editor, the SVS Driver (Altiris Software
Virtualization Agent) is downloaded and installed also. However, if you install Wise
Installation Studio on a 64-bit computer, the SVS Driver is not installed and any
functionality that requires this driver is unavailable.
Wise Mobile Device Package Editor - Use this tool to create a project file in .INF
format and compile it to one or more .CAB files that install a mobile device
application.
