MSI Repackaging - free tool


I have an existing MSI package which I want to repackage to add installation options (so far the MSI has been installed through the command line with msiexec parameters in a .bat file).

Are there, as of today, freeware tools available to repackage the MSI? I was stumbling over WiX but as per my understanding I need VisualStudio to complete what I wanted (I dont have VisualStudio)?

Thank you!


Solution

  • It seems like what I wanted to achieve is not really a common thing to do, so I stick to passing the configuration through the command line. a separate file (transform) will not help in my case because the goal was, just to have one file - a fully configured MSI - thanks everyone for the help though!
