A major potential benefit of Windows 2000 deployments is the ability to distribute software using a combination of Group Policies and the Microsoft Installer Service (MSI). This method of software deployment enables the MSI service to install applications with an elevated privilege without those same privileges being extended to all users of a workstation.

Unfortunately, in the real world the advantages of MSI are often unused because few applications are shipped with MSI style installation applications. In many cases tools are available to repackage existing installation packages. Unfortunately this places the burden on each site to create its own private MSI package for its own internal use. This is because an MSI package includes the application binaries that are subject to license terms and copyright protection. As such, the results of most repackaging efforts are not normally legally redistributable to other sites.

This page is set up to allow institutions to share repackaging efforts without violating their license agreements or passing the application binaries to any third party.

With this tool the developer can define the application prerequisites and install the correct version of these components in the correct order based on the user operating system type and language, allow the user to download these components from the web or install these components directly.

About these Bookmarks

These bookmarks are of subjects or products I find useful (or think I may in the future). I never link to a site as a pre-condition for them linking to me! As I use Windows I am mainly interested in software for this operating system. Where good free software exists I generally only list the free software (I list some shareware and even some commercial software where it is exceptional).

If you have some completely free software (no adware and without timeouts or major restrictions) which you would like listed then please email me:

  1. The URL (direct to resource's page) - not to the download.
  2. A proposed category (existing one if possible)
  3. A short description
To bypass my SPAM filter the subject should begin "SUGGESTED LINK:".

Creating These Book Mark Pages

This page was automatically created from Windows internet shortcuts (or favorites) created with IE or Netscape (OS/2 WPS URLs can also be imported). You can comment any link or category and just about anything can be changed (links don't even need to be in tables). PPWIZARD, a free tool for Windows, Mac OS X, Unix or OS/2 built these pages using this source code .

All URLs are checked periodically using the my free URL validation tool (for Windows and OS/2). This ensures that very few if any links point to moved pages or return 404 errors etc.
