Need For Re-Packaging

Why Repackage an Application?

Application Deployment: In an organization consisting of N-terminals, it is required that the standards should be Maintained at Hardware layer, Software layer in the User terminals. Possibly, the terminals might be located in different locations. But, they are connected to the same network and the network can be managed from one end-point.

In order to maintain the standard at software layer, the administrator of the network installs the required applications from one-point into all the User terminals. This process is called Application Deployment. This process ensures that all the Users of a network are using the same set of application of same version.

Application Re-Packaging

Application Management By Operating System (Self-Repair): In a scenario of files/Registry corruption or missing registry entries and files related to an application, it is the user responsibility to un-install and re-install the same application.

In order to avoid Application Management Responsibility at the User Level, an Operating System Service (also called as Windows Installer) is created which takes care of Installing the application, repairing the application when it gets corrupted and Uninstalling the application.

Upgrading the application: It is often required that installed applications should be upgraded for the latest versions. Manually uninstalling the older version and installing the newer version application is a cumbersome job.

Once Again the responsibility is handed over to the operating system. Here, when an attempt is made to install the newer version of an application. The Operating System Service first uninstalls the older version of an application and installs the newer version.

Application Advertisement – (On-Demand Installation): For Product popularity an Effective Advertisement Strategy should be applied. That is, when the Main product or application is given to a customer the advertisement about the Sub-Products can be given. So that the customer get to know about the sub-products.

If the customer is interested in those sub-products he can request for those products. This feature is also called as “Advertisement Installation or On-Demand Installation”.

Application Patch: Sometimes it is required that some additional files, registry entries, or configuration files to should be set to the existing installed application (Patching up the application with the required data Instead of creating the newer version of installation package)

Note: Patches can be interpreted as Operating System Service Packs.

Central Point of Reference: It is required that a central point of reference for application installation be set. This is because whenever an application, which has been installed gets corrupted and needs to be repaired, from the same location from where it has been installed.

File Versioning Maintenance: Earlier, there was a drawback in setup installers. Say, there is a DLL of latest version and setup installer contains the same DLL of older version. When the setup is installed it will overwrite the DLL of latest version with the DLL of older version without performing any type of pre-check of versions.

This drawback can be overcome in MSI Installers. Where the file versions are maintained. That is, if there is already a file of latest version, it will be preserved during MSI installation.
