Company Offers Complete Desktop Lifecycle Management with Desktop Authority MSI Studio to Package Software for Easy Distribution.

Boca Raton, FL – October 30, 2006 – ScriptLogic® Corporation, a leader in network administration software for Microsoft® Windows®-based networks, today announced the availability of Desktop Authority MSI Studio 3.5 and Desktop Authority MSI Studio Pro 3.5, featuring enhancements for pain-free application installs on desktops across the enterprise.

Desktop Authority MSI Studio reduces the cost of application ownership and software distribution by simplifying the creation, modification and deployment of application installers. Its comprehensive toolset empowers administrators to develop, enhance and test Windows Installer (MSI) packages for seamless software distribution on all network desktops. The Pro version introduces extra features to identify application deployment problems before they happen.

Desktop Authority MSI Studio gives IT administrators the ability to take complex installs which normally require extensive administrator or user intervention and scripting, and generate an automated, unattended installation. In addition, ScriptLogic will offer Desktop Authority MSI Studio Pro, an enhanced version which adds two significant new capabilities:

• Zero-Touch Testing – reduce failed deployments by simulating MSI package creation and installation before releasing it throughout the organization.
• Conflict Detection and Resolution – realize potential package conflicts when compared to other installed packages. This allows problems to be corrected before releasing the package.

ScriptLogic provides enterprises with the essential tools to manage desktops and servers on networks of all sizes and is the first desktop management vendor to offer solutions which not only cover the desktop lifecycle at a high-level, but also give unlimited flexibility and granular control in day-to-day management of the individual user’s Windows environment.
