AdminStudio includes a standalone, zero-footprint setup for Repackager. This allows you to install Repackager by itself on a clean machine to repackage applications. The repackaged setup can then be transferred to a build machine with AdminStudio installed or copied to a network location. The download is in the form of a setup.exe that should be launched on the clean machine.
Beginning with AdminStudio 8.5, the standalone Repackager is available on the installation DVD in the Tools folder entitled “StandaloneRepackager.exe”.

Building an .inc file that contains certain shortcut entries can lead to an error during the build. A message indicating “An unknown error occurred” is present in the build log, after shortcut information is displayed, and an .msi file will not be created.
This is caused by a bug present in AdminStudio 6.0 with or without Value Pack 1.
