Creating Repackager Projects

AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | Repackager

This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

Repackager projects (.irp) allow you to visually analyze the files, .ini files, shortcuts, and registry entries captured or changed during the conversion of a legacy setup into a Windows Installer package. You can also exclude files, shortcuts, registry entries, and .ini files from the resulting Windows Installer package, without affecting the original setup data.

There are two methods of creating Repackager projects:
