How to make a software from .exe become .msi?

Off topic:

It's someone's preference that they like or dislike something. But I think that they should give reasons. And giving no reasons doesn't give us the right to flame them.

SVCPACK is sometimes rubbish. SAV CE, for example, installs well from there. Logging in to a user account, I get the Auto-Protect service disabled.

Well sorry for the offence given by my dislike of svcpack for programs but none, none of my applications install thru it.

My own WLM doesnt work from svcpack. With wares that do not work from svcpack, i use a batchfile called from runonce to install the remaining applications after 1st boot.

I use winrar now instead of your installer for msn

Works in svcpack now

with winrar

Setup=MsnMsgs.msi /qb
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

I also install almost everything from svcpack

What's wrong with this? It should work for sure.

Me, too!

I really like SVCPACK , because alot of my applications have installed automatically by SVCPACK .I have tried batch_file.cmd and runonce, but always failure. The second reasons is that SVCPACK is easy to learn, but SVCPACK can not let all of my applications install automatically.That is too bad.

I don't know how to deal with it.

Steps:

1- Create a manual snapshot of your PC.

2- Install your app and tweak it to your liking. (settings, shortcuts, etc..)

3- Perform an analysis of......

4- Save..

5- Preview Installations. Choose your app you've just saved.

6- Clean your saved info. (files, reg entries, strange files, etc)

7- Kit. (on the GUI)

8- Make sure your kit options are like what appear in the pic below.

Thank you for your teaching, i was successful to make a package. , but how to put my serial number in the package?In other word, how do i register automatically in the process of installing OS. And i found that i can not uninstall the software.

Now, weather i have to use addon maker to create an addon? or i just put the package in svcpack?

- You register your app in the second step.

- I don't know about uninstallation.

- No need for addon. You need no switches, either. You run it from wherever you want. Just discover the proper place where you run it from.

Try this link, instead.

Please, post back if it's the free version, so I update the above link.

Sorry and thanks!

Unfortunately it is the same exact version. Can anyone upload the previous (free) version to rapidshare? I have searched extensively on the net and have not been able to find it.

Many thanks for the help.

WinINSTALL LE is a great application but is this a "stable" solution? Does each program created with WinInstall LE work for 100%? What`s your experiences?

Installer Design Studio 3.1 is good too

And will do the job.
