Features

Package applications reliably and correctly

AdminStudio's automated tools can create reliable software packages in less time than other techniques and the automated tools can identify potential issues and suggest the best ways to repair them. Plus the Enterprise edition features PackageExpert which runs MSI validation and QA tests on your MSI packages and automatically fixes any errors for you.

Convert any setup to MSI

The Professional and Enterprise editions can convert any installer into an MSI and the repackager does all the hard work to help developers produce a successful deployment with long term reliability.

Create virtual packages (requires the Virtualisation Pack)

Supporting App-V, ThinApp and XenApp, AdminStudio is unique in the market place in that it is the only solution to support packaging to multiple virtualisation formats. And with pre-virtualisation scanning support, you can confirm those packages that would be good candidates to virtualise and those which are not.

Windows 7 Migration Support - Application Compatibility Pack

The Application Compatibility Pack helps migration to Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Internet Explorer 8 by automatically assessing and fixing application compatibility issues.

Works with any deployment solution

Release software packages to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, Novell ZENworks, LANDesk, BMC Configuration Management, Citrix, Tivoli, ManageSoft and other deployment solutions.

Centralised application catalog

The Application Catalog is a central area where information about packages, patches and related data are stored. Multiple Application Catalogs can be synchronised which is useful for enterprises with multiple separate locations.

Web-based report center

The Reports Center produces a variety of reports including information on different files, shortcuts and registry keys used in packages. The web based interface means the reports can accessible anywhere and they can be exported to a variety of different file formats.

What's new in AdminStudio 11

Integration with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 (available in Professional/Enterprise editions)

AdminStudio 11 features advanced integration with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012. Enhanced import functionality helps speed migration to Configuration Manager 2012 from a previously package-based model to its new application-based model. You can take advantage of Bulk Import to remove the laborious task of adding applications manually and can identify the best candidates for migration automatically.

App-V Application Suitability Testing (requires Virtualization Pack)

AdminStudio 11 performs automatic suitability testing of packages for Microsoft's App-V virtualisation technology. By identifying conversion issues in advance, you can avoid compatibility problems and identify those applications that may be more difficult to convert.

Software Tagging Support

Support for ISO 19770-2 tagging helps with software asset management. The generated ISO tag file contains information on the application including publisher, name, version etc. You can then use enterprise software asset management tools to collect the tags to provide accurate application identification for installed software.

InstallShield Suiting/Wrapping

AdminStudio 11 Enterprise includes InstallShield 2012 Premier for streamlining the bundling of applications into suites. It helps handle application dependencies, post-install updates and other issues to minimise the risk of rolling out incomplete/out-of-date packages.

Platform API (AdminStudio Enterprise only)

The inclusion of an API enables users to sequence and orchestrate individual AdminStudio tasks to perform advanced processes such as importing packages, checking for virtualisation readiness, converting to virtualised packages, testing packages and then distributing them to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. The API supports .NET, PowerShell, scripting languages such as VB Script and more.
