Automatisez votre processus de packaging d’applications

Novembre 3, 2023
AdminStudio 2023 R2 vous permet de créer des workflows automatisés. Vous pouvez ainsi économiser du temps et de l'énergie en automatisant les tâches répétitives.

AdminStudio is a complete application readiness solution that helps you identify and mitigate issues before deploying. You can use AdminStudio tools to repackage applications and convert packages to virtual formats, then thoroughly test them to ensure that they are ready for deployment across your Enterprise.

Version 2023 R2 includes a new feature called Package Automation Workflows which allows you to configure a series of steps that will be carried out automatically when a new version of an application becomes available. This can be useful for automating tasks such as importing the package, testing, wrapping, converting, and publishing it. Multiple Package Automation Workflows can be configured, with a default set for all new package requests. This makes it easier than ever to automate your application packaging process and ensure that new versions are processed quickly and efficiently.

Testez en toute sécurité les installations directement dans Windows Sandbox

Octobre 9, 2023
Advanced Installer 21.1 vous permet d’utiliser un environnement sécurisé et isolé pour vos besoins en test d’installation.

Advanced Installer by Caphyon is a powerful and easy-to-use Windows Installer authoring tool that helps you create reliable installation packages for your software applications. It can be used to create MSI, EXE, and MSIX packages.

Microsoft Windows Sandbox is a virtualization feature that creates a temporary, isolated desktop environment where you can run software safely, without risking your host operating system. It is similar to a virtual machine, but it is much more lightweight and starts up much faster.

Testing installation packages with Advanced Installer 21.1 is as simple as selecting the "Run in Windows Sandbox" option. Windows Sandbox is much faster than traditional virtual machines, so you can test your installations much more quickly. It is also a secure environment that isolates your tests from your host system, so any problems that occur during testing will not impact your production environment. It is also easy to use and manage, so you can create and discard sandboxes as needed without having to worry about managing or deleting virtual machines.

Création de scripts pour désinstaller un logiciel

Juillet 3, 2023
Aidez les utilisateurs à désinstaller des applications de manière automatisée, efficace et cohérente grâce à la désinstallation scriptée.

Scripting uninstallations allows you to automate the software uninstallation process using scripts or command-line instructions. Instead of manually removing software, it allows for the creation and execution of scripts that can uninstall applications in a predictable and reliable manner. This approach enables system administrators or users to streamline the uninstallation process, saving time and effort, particularly in enterprise environments where multiple software installations need to be managed.
