Description

EtherApps Forge captures Windows applications on the machines they already run on, even when the installer is lost, and turns them into signed MSIX, MSI, Intune Win32 and App Attach packages. Package the apps holding up your move to Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop and Intune, including the ones nobody can reinstall. AI does the busywork. The Forge MCP server lets GitHub Copilot and other AI clients drive Forge in plain English, one real tool call at a time, and nothing ships until your team approves it. Forge AI Controller, in private preview, runs the packaging lifecycle as an agent in your own infrastructure, not shared SaaS. It can use local AI models, so prompts, packages and what it learns stay in your environment, or Microsoft Foundry in your own subscription, or OpenAI services. Forge Capture is a portable single file: copy it and run it, with nothing to install. It captures from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to 2025, including RDS session hosts. Convert App-V 5 packages to MSIX or MSI without resequencing, with no App-V client or sequencer. Sign, validate and smoke test each package, and edit a built MSIX without rebuilding it. Batch capture, the forge_msix command line and a PowerShell module fit your build pipeline. Forge runs on your own machines, so packages and signing keys stay with you. Packages go to Microsoft Intune (which also reaches Windows 365 Cloud PCs), Configuration Manager, Azure Virtual Desktop through App Attach, Citrix and Omnissa App Volumes. Start a 7-day free trial at etherapps.ai: 25 captures, no card. The full licence is £895 per named packaging admin per year, plus VAT. Also on Microsoft Marketplace.

Description

Inno Setup, developed by Jordan Russell and Martijn Laan, is a complimentary installer tailored for Windows applications, having made its debut in 1997. Over the years, it has evolved to compete with and often exceed many commercial installers in terms of features and reliability. It is compatible with every Windows version released since 2006, encompassing the latest iterations such as Windows 11 and Windows 10. Additionally, it offers substantial support for the installation of 64-bit applications specifically on the 64-bit editions of Windows, as well as accommodating x64, ARM64, and Itanium architectures. Users can choose between administrative and non-administrative installations, providing flexibility in deployment. Inno Setup also enables the creation of a single executable file for streamlined online distribution, and it supports disk spanning for larger installations. The installer is equipped with robust functionalities such as comparing file version information, replacing files currently in use, utilizing shared file counting, registering DLL/OCXs and type libraries, and facilitating font installations. Moreover, it allows for the creation of shortcuts in various locations, including the desktop and the start menu, enhancing user accessibility. This extensive array of features makes Inno Setup a popular choice among developers seeking a powerful and free installation solution.
