Wise has announced the availability of WPS 7 SP3. You can get a copy from the License Management Portal.

It will also be available in a couple of weeks from the Wise download page when the guys who administer this site return from a sales conference.

Please see the information below if you have an issue trying to get certain 'other' tables to import into Wise Package Studio's software Manager. I wish I had read a tip like this before spending considerable time trying to find out what was wrong.

When using certain Wise Package Studio tools, sometimes the resulting MSI file may not have a product name. When you try to install the resulting MSI file, you get a Windows Installer Error Message 2503 or 2502 and the MSI does not install.

Unwanted IOD activity can cause support calls and/or trouble when locked down end users, who generally don't trigger self healing, start seeing confusing Windows Installer dialogs.

Since there is no tool provided with Wise Package Studio for embedding transforms in an MSI file, you can use a Windows Installer VBS to add a transform or nested database as a substorage. This process also demonstrates the use of the database _Storages table. This VBS was originally provided in the Microsoft SDK.
