July 4, 2018
New Version

Features

  • New Files tab in MSI Editor - Files tab now displays all files and folders in a tree list view that makes it easier to see all contents of all folders.
  • A quick way to find and fix errors - The tree list has a vast amount of validation rules so you can fix errors before testing or building your package.
  • Unique Details pane for each type of resources - MSI Editor's Files tab has four types of resources – folders, files, INI files, and duplicate files. The Details pane shows name, target and source paths, and other relevant details and attributes. For INI files, you can review their contents in the Details pane.
  • Edit details for each resource in their respective Property windows, e.g. for files, you can change version, name, language, sequence number or even target installation folder and set files to be read-only. You can also change specific details for INI files, duplicate files, and folders.
  • Redesigned permissions management - MSI Editor now has a new permission management property, and you can change permissions for each type of resources. You can also quickly enable or disable permissions for any resource.
  • Updated “Add system folder” feature - The list of system folders you can add to your packages has been enhanced to ensure you get all modern and relevant options.
  • “Move to folder” feature - Move any resource to a new place in just one click and without any leftovers. Moving has an advanced mechanism that does not leave empty components in your MSI.
  • “Set as INSTALLDIR” feature - In the context menu, you will find a new feature to set any folder as INSTALLDIR.
  • New media settings for better performance - New dedicated Media tab allows managing how files will be saved to the package. Saving packages in MSI Editor is faster and results in even cleaner packages because, for instance, all files will be placed into one CAB.
  • Mix different compression types in one package.
  • Rebuild your MSI with any supported compression type. For instance, you open a package with some files saved as CABs and others saved as Uncompressed, it is now possible to process them all using one compression type.
  • Added a new compression type – Internal CAB (cabinet).
  • If you choose an External or Internal type, you can manage CAB options such as name template, compression algorithm, and maximum CAB size for splitting the files into several CABs.
  • Enhanced MSI Editor - The mechanism behind the “Remove” feature in the Files tab to offer you top-level purity: if you remove a resource all referenced items will be removed too, without any leftovers in your package.
  • Improved MSI Editor's appearance of the selected items in Trees, Lists, and Grids so you can see the highlighted errors and changes better.
  • MSI Generator - Moving to a unified user experience in PACE Suite applications, MSI Generator now lets you to choose INI file handling options just the way you used to do it in MSI Editor.
