Creating .MSI files...question/help

[ivwshane]

This is just for fun and on my home network of five computers all on a domain.


I would like to publish/assign programs to some of my other systems instead of having to install them evertime I reformat (I know there are other ways to push out images with what I want but that will be another project). What are some programs I can use to create MSI files that I can use to publish/assign in a GPO object?


One program I would like to assign is winrar.

On your Windos 2000 Server cd (I'm assuming you have one since you want to publish though a GPO ) go to

%cdpath%\VALUEADD\3RDPARTY\MGMT\WINSTLE

The WinInstall LE package lets you repackage .exe installs as .msi installs. It's made by Veritas, but MS has some pretty good docs in the KB about it.
