You can use the Wrap Package Wizard to convert Windows Installer packages (.msi) and complex installation packages (.exe) to PowerShell wrapped packages (PowerShell script .ps1 files) using the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit.
PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft. The PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit provides a set of functions to perform common application deployment tasks and to interact with the user during a deployment. By wrapping an existing Windows Installer or complex installation package in a PowerShell script, you are able to automatically perform deployment tasks both before and after installation.
You can convert the following deployment types into a PowerShell wrapped package:
|
•
|
Windows Installer packages (.msi) |
|
•
|
InstallShield InstallScript .exe files |
|
•
|
InstallShield Basic MSI installers that are compressed into a setup.exe file |
|
•
|
InstallShield Suite Installer .exe files |
|
•
|
Wise Package Studio .exe files |
|
•
|
Other executable file types that can be uncompressed by 7-ZIP |
The Wrap Package Wizard uses the PowerShell template files to perform the conversion. For more information, see PowerShell Script Template Files.
