masterpackager has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow packageSourceUrl, pointing to the url where the package source resides. This is a strong guideline because it simplifies collaboration. Please add it to the nuspec. More...

I think the virus scanning error might be legit? When I try to browse to https://www.masterpackager.com/installer/masterpackager_24.3.8860.0.msi I get redirected to the home page, so I don't think it is working?

Description

Master Packager is a tool to create and edit Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) files and repackage other installation to MSI format.

Our vision is to make application packaging easy, fast and affordable that is accessible to everyone from application packager freelancer, small company and enterprises.

What are the benefits of using Master Packager?

  • Fast - You will never see "not responding" text in the tool. Modifying large MSIs is effortless. The same goes for repackaging
  • High quality - Standardize naming, ICE validation, and .dll/.exe file registration mapping are just a few examples of how this tool will reduce human errors and increases quality.
  • Simple - The user interface allow new and experience packagers to start creating packages immediately
  • Automation - Capturing, building and applying templates can be fully automated, making it possible to fully automate repackaging.
  • Free - Features you need to edit and create MSI and MST files are for Free.
  • Price - We are doing everything to provide the best Price vs. Performance. Providing the same value or better Master Packager can save you money as it can be up 10 times less expensive per license than alternatives.
  • Collaborative - With one click from the tool you can register a bug or make a feature suggestion.
  • Support - We will worry about the tools for you, so you can focus only on the packaging

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
