PACE Suite 4.5

New Wizard for adding Drivers

• The new “Add Driver” Wizard guides you through every step of including drivers into your packages and saves you time with useful tricks like automatically detecting and displaying all files that are related to your driver.
• The Wizard allows you to manage various aspects of driver files (for instance, their compression type), set driver installation options, conditions, and choose target architecture.

New Drivers Tab

• There is now a separate tab for Device Drivers, where you can review, edit, and remove drivers. The tab shows details such as driver installation files (INF), files that are related to a particular driver, conditions, and installation options.
• You can set various installation options like overwriting an existing driver, adding a separate entry to Programs and Features in the Control Panel and others. All the changes you make are highlighted, and validation errors (if any) are displayed.

Smart Custom Actions Wizard

• The new "Add Custom Action" wizard simplifies adding and editing custom actions. The most exciting feature of this new wizard is that it takes into consideration your every input on every step and later disables options that are incompatible with your previous choices.
• For instance, if the basic type is “Launch an EXE”, the tree-like interface displays only EXE files and filters out everything unrelated; when you select a sequence position where your custom action will be run, all positions, incompatible with your previous choices, are disabled and so on.

Completely redesigned Custom Actions tab

• The new Custom Actions tab now displays custom and standard actions from all sequences, as well as not-sequenced custom actions, which are present only in the CustomAction table and do not have references in other sequence tables.
• Various custom action details such as their basic type, execution mode, and others are in this tab. Here, you can edit custom actions, move them up or down in a sequence or put your custom actions directly into the required sequence position (PACE Suite only displays positions that are available for your particular custom action). All changes you make are highlighted, and errors and warnings are displayed.

Reviewing Wise Package Studio project files

• Added the ability to open .WSI files with MSI Editor directly from the context menu and review their contents in case you want to use this information for creating new MSI packages in PACE Suite.

MSI Generator

• MSI Generator  has an improved approach to assign 32-bit and 64-bit registry to components in complex cases.

Enhanced overall stability of MSI Editor stability when:

• Using Active Scripting in particularly large packages.
• Rebuilding CAB files.
• Importing registry.
