As of today's release of the v2.0 upgrade, what was previously called "Setup Factory for Windows Installer" is now officially "MSI Factory 2.0".
This change was made to help better differentiate our MSI installer product line from our traditional/scripted installer product line known as "Setup Factory".
A complete discussion of SETUP.MSI vs SETUP.EXE can be found at http://www.indigorose.com/msi-factory/setup-factory-vs-msi-factory.php.
A few notes:
1. All customers with a currently valid maintenance plan for "Setup Factory for Windows Installer" have been upgraded to the new "MSI Factory" product line at no charge, and the remaining time on their subscription has been ported over as well.
2. MSI Factory 2.0 can seemlessly import your Setup Factory for Windows Installer 1.0 projects.
What's New?
Since the original release of v1.0, we have added in almost 200 new features and enhancements to the product. That's not even counting the 300+ LuaScript actions that have been added...
New LuaScript language lets you go beyond the native capabilities of the MSI installer. Based on the familiar scripting engine used in Indigo Rose products like TrueUpdate 3.0 and AutoPlay Media Studio 7.0, this incredibly powerful system features everything from "for, repeat and while" loops, to "if/else" conditions, functions, variables and associative arrays. Paired with the built-in action library, full mathematical evaluation and Boolean expressions, you can take MSI to a whole other level.
300+ powerful yet easy-to-use actions. There are high-level actions to handle everything from text file editing to system registry changes. You can execute programs, open documents, query drive information, manipulate strings, copy files, enumerate processes, interact with web scripts, display dialog boxes and much more.
Easy to Use Action Wizard. Simply choose the action you want from a categorized list (complete with on-screen interactive help), fill in the requested information fields and the wizard writes the line of script code for you. It’s that easy!
New MSI based XML actions.
Dozens of other enhancements and feature improvements.
Enjoy!
