Enhanced performance of building MSI

• New enhanced algorithm for the building of MSI packages, now even the largest installers can be re-packaged in an amazingly short period of time.

Improved speed of opening MSI

• Previously, opening a particularly large MSI in MSI Editor could have taken a substantial amount of time. In this release, this release improves the Open MSI feature in MSI Editor, so now you can open packages significantly faster.

Export registry to REG file

• Now you can export registry entries from your MSI package to the REG file using MSI Editor. Registry export is available from different places:
  • Export the selected registry key or hive using the Registry tab;
  • Export registry of the selected Feature or Component using the Features/Components tab;
  • Export the selected registry entries from the Registry table on the Tables tab. The created REG file will have the latest 5.00 format version.

Import .NET assemblies and 64-bit COM information

• Update small MSI packages, which require adding new files with their registration information, without them being recaptured.
• Now the Import Files Wizard allows extracting and importing to the package both 32-64 bit COM information and .NET assemblies.
• Import new files to the package by selecting the 'Import COM information' option on the last step of the wizard.
