• Customers using ZENworks 7 or earlier versions will continue to receive the limited AdminStudio ZENworks Edition.



AdminStudio Standard Edition

• Repackager

Ensure software runs reliably on Windows Vista (or any Windows OS) by automatically repackaging any setup to a fully compliant MSI package.




• Tuner

Take advantage of the fastest way to build Windows Installer transforms (MST files) for adding files, changing registry settings, adding license keys, removing registration wizards, or making other modifications to your MSI package without modifying the base MSI file.




• Editor

Powered by InstallShield 2009, use Editor to provide the most advanced customization and authoring of MSI installations. The AdminStudio Editor enables you to directly edit any part of an MSI installation, such as adding or modifying files or registry entries, adding merge modules and Web services, modifying any user interface elements you choose to display, and changing shortcuts.




• Package Validation

Validate your MSI packages to ensure they conform to Microsoft guidelines - including the Microsoft Windows Vista Quality program - using built-in QA tools like Microsoft ICEs and the MSI Debugger.




• Application Isolation Wizard

Ensure new MSIs won't interfere with installed applications by automatically isolating their shared DLLs and other dependencies before deployment.




• AdminStudio Distribution Wizard

Automate the deployment of MSI packages via ZENworks Configuration Management.



ZCM Migration Utility (SP1)



What is Application Virtualization?

• “Application virtualization enables the deployment of software without modifying the local operating system or file system.

• It allows software to be delivered and updated in an isolated environment ensuring the integrity of the operating system and all applications.



What is Application Virtualization?

• Application conflicts, and the need for regression testing, are significantly reduced.

• A single application can be bundled and deployed to multiple operating system versions.

• Applications are easier to provision, deploy, upgrade, and rollback. (VMware’s definition).



AdminStudio 9.0.1 (beta)



What is ZENworks Application Virtualization?

• ZAV is a next-generation virtualization technology that allows applications to be deployed in lightweight, pre-configured, single-executable files that execute instantly on any Windows desktop.

• Unlike hardware virtualization solutions such as VMware and Virtual PC, which emulate the underlying hardware and therefore require an entire copy of the host operating system, ZAV technology emulates operating system features required for application execution.
