Simplifique a criação de MSI com a coleta de arquivos

Abril 24, 2024
O PACE Suite 6.2 simplifica o processo de empacotamento de MSI incluindo automaticamente todos os arquivos dinâmicos gerados durante a compilação.

PACE Suite by Infopulse is an application packaging tool that streamlines the creation, editing, and deployment of software installers. It supports various formats like MSI, MSIX, and AppX, and allows for capturing installations, customizing packages, and automating quality checks. Additionally, PACE Packager Hub, a companion product, provides workflow management and team collaboration functionalities for efficient application packaging operations.

The PACE Suite 6.2 update introduces a File Harvesting feature that simplifies MSI creation by automatically capturing dynamic files generated during compilation. This function, which is automatically invoked on each MSI package creation, finds and adds files that exist in a specified folder on the file system but are not present in the project. Additionally, you can apply inclusions/exclusion filters to identify only the files needed, it can work with relative and absolute paths, and it supports user-defined variables in paths. This eliminates the need for manual file selection, reducing errors and ensuring all necessary components are included in your installer for a smooth deployment process.

To see a full list of what's new in 6.2, see our release notes.

PACE Suite is licensed per user and is available as both subscription and perpetual licenses with 1 year support and maintenance. See our PACE Suite licensing page for full details.

Crie instaladores personalizáveis com scripts

Abril 17, 2024
Personalize o processo de instalação com base nas seleções do usuário, configuração do sistema ou outros fatores para oferecer um instalador mais adaptável.

Installation tools leverage scripting to handle conditional logic, enabling the installation to adapt to different system configurations or user selections. Scripting plays a vital role in streamlining Windows installation tools. By employing languages like PowerShell or batch files, IT professionals can automate repetitive tasks during deployment, such as software installation, configuration adjustments, and user environment setup. This not only reduces manual effort and human error but also ensures consistency and efficiency in provisioning large numbers of Windows machines.

Several installation tools offer support for scripting, including:

  • RayPack Studio by Raynet simplifies complex setups with its built-in scripting language for tailored installation logic.
  • Setup Factory by Indigo Rose offers flexibility for intricate deployments via its comprehensive scripting capabilities.
  • InstallShield by Revenera empowers automation through its robust scripting engine for customizing installations.
  • AdminStudio Professional by Flexera provides advanced automation through its comprehensive scripting engine for intricate setups.

Melhore a estabilidade da compilação com as políticas de repetição de testes do .NET

Abril 9, 2024
O TeamCity On-Premises 2024.03 minimiza o desperdício de tempo de desenvolvimento, repetindo automaticamente os testes com falha, o que reduz os falsos positivos.

TeamCity On-Premises by JetBrains is a self-hosted solution for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). It automates the software build, testing, and deployment process, allowing development teams to identify and fix bugs early, and deliver high-quality software faster. TeamCity On-Premises provides features like on-the-fly build progress reporting, pre-tested commits, and configuration as code for increased development efficiency and control.

The TeamCity On-Premises 2024.03 release adds new .NET test retry policies to help mitigate transient test failures. These are tests that intermittently pass or fail, often due to external factors outside the control of your test code. By retrying failed tests, you can improve the overall stability of your builds and ensure they only fail due to genuine issues.
