Installation repackaging is used to capture any setup and recreate it in a pure Windows Installer (MSI, MST), Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V 5.0-5.2) and VMware Application Virtualization (ThinApp 5.0-5.2) packages.

PACE Suite has the most accurate and precise capturing engine with the following advantages:

• Mechanism of smart detection of embedded and hidden vendor MSI installations.
• Capturing permission changes of filesystem and registry.
• 32-bit and 64-bit installations support on Windows 10/8.1/8/7/2012/2008 platforms.
• Continuing capturing after system restart.
• Excluding/including captured resources at any time.
• Using global editable exclusion lists.
• Environment variables and advertised information handling.

PACE Suite provides full support of Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V 5.0-5.2) and VMware Application Virtualization (ThinApp 5.0-5.2) technologies that enables you to create and edit packages for virtual application or convert any application into the virtual format.

Many App-V options like File Type Associations, Filesystem and Registry Virtualization Levels, Target OS Restriction, Streaming Settings, PVAD and others are available in editor, as well as Entry Points, Primary Data Container, Isolation Modes, Sandbox locations and others options for the ThinApp packages.

PACE Suite provides a handy and fully-equipped MSI Editor tool, which enables you to:

• Manipulate contents of an MSI in a convenient tree-like interface.
• Import any resources.
• Edit and manage Custom Actions.
• Integrate scripts into your package.
• Create patches (MSP).
• Use a smart and advanced MSI database editor, with formatted string autocompleting, Excel-like formula bar, row reference tracking, and more.
• Handle upgrades easily – just let MSI Editor know which MSI’s you want to upgrade at a runtime.
• Undo-redo any changes to the opened file and highlight them in the MSI tables.

Publish your application packages from PACE Suite to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 or 2012 server and get them ready for deployment with a button click. Both Configuration Manager’s “package model” and the new “application model” are supported.

With PACE you can:

• Automatically record on-screen actions and save them into a nice-looking document with screenshots and annotations.
• Generate standard and customizable package reports.
• Obtain calculated package complexity level.
• Adapt complexity estimation criteria to match your business reality.
• Export complexity assumption with details to report.

Quality Approver is a standalone solution that automates package quality, safety and deployment readiness checks.

Quality Approver tests MSI package and its apps for compliance with the Desktop App Certification Program, as well as MSIX/APPX package and its apps against the Microsoft Store requirements. Quality Approver supports automated package testing on multiple virtual machines, hosted on the VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and Oracle VirtualBox hypervisors, but it can run the tests locally as well. Finally, it offers yet another smart, step-by-step Wizard that will guide you through the whole process.
