Windows Designer Studio

  1. 1. I have succesfully used / I have experience with (select all that apply):

    • nLite
      60
    • vLite
      27
    • Business Desktop Deployment 2007
      13
    • Windows XP Embedded
      18
    • Backup through Norton Ghost 8.2 - 11 and/or Acronis TrueImage
      31
    • Norton Ghost 12 or Windows PE 2.0
      21
    • Systems Management Server 2003
      7
    • WIM technology - WIMGAPI, SmartWIM or ImageX
      23
    • Unattended Installation
      56
    • OEM Preinstallation (as in my guide)
      35
    • Virtualization clients and/or servers
      28
    • Visual C# and/or XML (programatically)
      8
    • Windows Deployment Services on Server 2003 SP2
      8
    • Windows Server 2008 with at least one installed role / feature
      14

  2. 2. I am interested in making my own packages for add/remove/install purposes, using Package Designer, and share them with my friends (consider Office 2007 as large software and WinRAR as small)

    • Certainly, I have large software that cannot be converted in unattended packages for nLite
      31
    • Maybe, I already have unattended packages for nLite for all my software
      13
    • Probably not, I'd like to use those packages made by more experienced people
      13
    • No, I only install software after I've installed the OS
      5

  3. 3. What is your current level of satisfaction with Microsoft Installer (MSIEXEC) ? (consider for negative example MSIs/MSPs larger than 256 Mb, like VS2005 SP1)

    • I had no trouble with Add/Remove software
      19
    • Uninstalling MSI packages produces garbage in my tidy installation
      6
    • I have frequently seen registry data leftovers and files that are wasting space and performance
      30
    • Installations frequently crash, downloaded MSIs are wasting space, will not uninstall cleanly, windows version often not right for install
      7

everytime i try your windows studio thingy, i cant get past the browse for source screen.

any ideas?

that`s because the version on sf.net is very outdated... I have to get approval for releasing new versions as open source from my company, they have to check it does not contain derived or reverse engineered code from the stuff I code for them.

The old legal crap...

Is this still in development? I'm still interested in seeing it become something. For the past few months, I've attempted to fully make use of Microsoft's deployment tools, but haven't really had too much luck with them. I'd love to see WDS become a reality.
