Converting WinINSTALL Projects

AdminStudio 2021 R2 SP1 | 22.01 | Repackager

Edition:This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

To convert a WinINSTALL 6.0, 6.5, or 7.x project (.txt) to a Repackager project (which can subsequently be built into a Windows Installer package):

1. Launch Repackager.
2. From the File menu, select Open.
3. In the Open dialog box, change the Files of type filter to WinINSTALL (*.txt).
4. Browse to locate the WinINSTALL project you want to convert.
5. Select the project, and click OK.
6. If the WinINSTALL Conversion dialog box opens, fill in the WinINSTALL-specific variables and click OK.

The legacy project is converted to a Repackager project. Files, .ini files, shortcuts, and registry entries within the project are visible through the appropriate views in the Repackager Interface.

Note:WinINSTALL projects must be converted to .txt files prior to conversion to Repackager projects.
