Software Deployment

I just got back this past Thursday from the Wise Package Studio training (Thanks Todd R, Orlando, Florida). It wasn't discounted ($2,000), but it was worth it to get a better look at how the product should be used. It was a *huge* help in getting a better understanding of MSIs.

They come to New York, and it looks like they'll be there at the end of March. They come to Boston as well, but I'm told not until May or June, and nothing definitive.

If any one is having the information please let us know.

Thanks in advance.

Both vendors have information on their respective web sites. Wise = Altiris = Symantec http://www.altiris.com/Services/Education2.aspx

InstallShield = Acresso http://www.acresso.com/services/education.htm?link_id=topnav

Hi,

The nearest training hub for Wise Package Studio is Singapore. We have been trying hard to find a training in India (Delhi based) but they are just not there.

By the way, if you do find it, do let me know.

You used to be able to buy the courseware for the Installshield courses online. I think it was about $250. They're really well written and I would recommend them as an option.

i will travel to india to train if you like :-)

I can guarantee my training is more technical and more detailed than that on offer by Wise. (not sure what IS training is like.)

[font="trebuchet ms"]Great news to hear.
[font="trebuchet ms"]If that happens(training in India), I hope i could be first person to join.

It's glad to hear the news on training in India.

We are eagerly waiting for the training.

It's not Wise or Installshield, but there is a online MSI course in a few weeks time that may be beneficial for some people.

from experience it does not matter whether its wise or installshield

your just want to get to grips with using the tools


wise installshield

setupcature repackager ---------- creates msi from legacy setup

intallltailor tuner -------- creates mst from your vendor msi


what you really need is to get a good understanding of msi technology

what you really need is to get a good understanding of msi technologyThis should have been your first sentence. Unless one has a grip of the fundamentals and an understanding of what an MSI is, learning the tools is pretty pointless.

Get yourself a copy of Phil Wilson's The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer and read that before you even install a trial version of any tool.

I might need to do another training using Wise as I have not used wise for a very long time now =)

it's installsheild all the way

I very much doubt you'd need training. It's like switching between Office and Open Office: it's a question of semantics/grammar and UI differences.

Wise / IS the tools are all the same. once you have used one of them , it should not be a problem using the other

as you said the UI is different correct i.e custom action wizard in IS and in Wise using CA is just a drag and drop

i think the tools are quite different.

the editors are pretty similar however the surrounding tools which are the important one anyway are considerably different.

as for training i will travel anywhere in the world to do training if anyone is silly enough to pay me :-)

anyone interested in Application Packaging online training can contact me on virtual.app.packager@gmail.com

Why would anyone start with training for Wise PS or Adminstudio really? You'd learn a lot more by getting down and dirty with the Windows Installer Reference documentation and learning the tables by using a table editor like InstED/Orca.Then once you've aquired Windows Installer knowledge, using either Wise Package Studio or Admin studio will be easy because you know the underlying technology instead of the GUI (WPS/AS) that is built around it.

For Wise Package Studio, Adminstudio, Installshield training contact me at Arju@msipackaging.in OR call me on +91-9963678795

Why would anyone start with training for Wise PS or Adminstudio really?

In my opinion a training can be very usefull!!! Especially when you want to have a "jump-start"in application packaging. Although at a minimum you must have a little experience and enthusiasm in packaging. Without that you won't have any succes I think. In my case I had very little experience, but because I did the Wise course, my eyes where opened in the world of application packaging.
