My pet GInstaller is quite mature in terms of how much it is used in our environment and also how robust it now is. And although (years) overdue I will be publishing it soon [1].
But in the mean time it occurred to me that I may not have adequately explained exactly what I mean by an ‘Install Wrapper’. Previously I have explained it as follows:
“An Install Wrapper is the program or script that you use to execute your installation including any additional programmed logic, pre or post-requisites, and including any additional scripting tasks such as file or registry operations.”
That definition was the summary concluding a blog entry I have written on the Symantec ‘Connect’ community forums. Here is a link to that post:

I hope you find this useful.
[1] In the coming months. Maybe if I keep promising it I might feel compelled to dedicate time to doing it!
Hello Darren,
I was wondering if you’d be willing to publish your Ginstaller.vbs script here, or at least if you could email me a copy?
Thanks!
Hi Mark, you are more than welcome to have a copy, but would you mind just waiting about a week or two as the team are just testing the latest version that is full Windows 10 compliant, and has some extra goodies built in.
Regards,
Darren.
Hi Darren, I just remembered about your script and thought I’d ask if your team has gotten a chance to finish it?
