As IT pros, we need to quickly and easily deploy software with the options and additions our users need. This often involves creating and customizing software packages. This session will teach you how to perform common tasks such as repackaging an MSI, customizing installation options, testing installation packages, and troubleshooting when things go wrong.

You will learn:

  • How to package and repackage software
