Edit the MSI package - easier way?

[Tommer Catlin]

Has anyone found an easier way to edit the package to customize it?  Orca is not cool. .     Long ago when, there used to be visual packages to edit all this stuff.  IE, WinInstall if I remember.   Snapshot your desktop, install the product, snapshot desktop, package the changes into MSI and be done.   Or is this just crazy talk?

Those tools still exist (e.g. Flexera AdminStudio) but are not free and are overkill since we already have an MSI compiled. ORCA is free and all we need to touch are a few variables in the package.

Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

I use Orca too.

Those install recorder things are OK, IF you don't already have a customisable MSI and you have to ensure you start with a clean (i.e. fresh install) system every time to get good results. Kind of a last resort really..
