AdminStudio Virtualization Pack

AdminStudio Virtualization Pack prepares reliable virtual applications for deployment with a complete set of suitability testing, automated conversion, validation, editing and management reporting capabilities. It automates the conversion of MSIs and legacy installers to virtual application formats, ensuring a consistent approach that is up to 9 times faster than using native tools, reducing the cost and duration of a migration project.

Automated Conversion to Virtual Formats

  • Convert multiple MSIs and legacy installers to industry leading virtual formats including Microsoft App-V, VMware® Thin App™ and Citrix® XenApp™.
  • The AdminStudio Virtualization Pack is the only single solution that supports multiple application virtualization formats and traditional MSI packages all in one tool.

Automated Repackaging on Virtual Machines

  • Leverage existing packaging investment by automatically determining which setups contain custom actions and therefore, need to be repackaged and which can be virtualized without repackaging. It manages virtual machines, silently repackages installs and creates virtual packages for the resulting MSIs.

Virtualization Suitability Testing

  • Automatically runs tests on an application to determine whether it’s suitable for conversion and deployment as a virtual application.
  • Eliminates the “trial and error” approach to migrating applications to virtual formats.

Test and Validate Virtual Packages

  • With AdminStudio Virtualization Pack, the ability to customize, test, validate and edit MSI packages is extended to the Microsoft® App-V virtual format so packagers can manage a virtual package with the same tool and processes as a traditional package.
  • Run conflict and validation tests of App-V packages to ensure they won’t conflict with each other or other physically deployed applications and to conform to best practice packaging.

Direct Editing of App-V Packages

  • The Virtual Package Editor in AdminStudio Virtualization Pack enables direct editing of App-V packages, eliminating the need to re-convert from an MSI when a change to an App-V package is required.

The AdminStudio Virtualization Pack is part of the AdminStudio Suite which powers an enterprise’s Application Readiness process for migrations to Window 7, application virtualization and day-to-day application packaging operations.
