> make available for download to our customers (outside of ConfigMgr),

Mike is trying to make a software package for people to install on their own 
machines which are not managed by the organization.

> PowerShell is free and built-in.

As these are not managed devices, having end users deal with script execution 
policies seems like a bad idea, and spending money on a public cert seems like 
moving in the wrong direction.


Mike - I'd give the trial with Advanced Installer a shot.  For what you need, I 
think it is the right features/price.  If it doesn't work for you, Flexera 
offers a trial as well, but that is much more expensive and has a lot that you 
don't need.

I hope that helps,


Nash

Even more so I am confused as this is built in to ConfigMgr 2012 in the 
Application Model.  Why would you not want to use that assuming CM12?  But yes 
to Trevor's point Powershell works well for this as well.

Subject: [mssms] OT: Need a software packing app

Hey folks,

We have an application we want to make available for download to our customers 
(outside of ConfigMgr), but it requires another app to be installed along with 
it (the installer would check to see if app A exists already, if not, it would 
install it). I'm looking for an easy packager app that can handle 
prerequisites, and is fairly inexpensive/cheap. I'm looking at Advanced 
Installer, I think the Professional license should cover what we need.

Any other suggestions?
