While i as making repacks for some applications, i thought about sharing all my custom installers.
I do a lot of unattended installations, and by using my own custom installers i can install programs faster and with better results instead of sticking to the original setup files for every program because i have to use different switches, make scripts to arrange Start Menu icons, import registry files to customize program settings, and more.
All my installers (except those that are Switchless) are in MSI format, so you can install them silently with /qb /norestart switches.
In many cases, the application settings were customized to fit my needs, but the functionality remains intact so you can change their settings after you install them.
All shortcuts will be placed in Start Menu/Programs, and some of them that use more than one shortcut, will be inside a folder with the program’s name in the same path.
This way, you can use a script or CMD file to arrange them the way you want.
I uploaded 33 installers so far, and i will keep them updated everytime there is a new version of the program.
Enjoy them, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to make a comment.

Hi,
Im Interested in how you repack the MSI-Installers. Which Tools do you use?

Hi Michael,
For editing MSI directly i use Microsoft Orca (which is free but not user-friendly) and InstallShield 2009.
For my custom installers i use Caphyon Advanced installer. This is an excellent MSI authoring program and is a lot cheaper then InstallShield or Wise Installation Studio.
