RayPack is a framework for the creation and management of software packages that can be deployed to target machines. It is designed to support a broad variety of package formats, target operating systems, and deployment systems.
The RayPack components allow enterprises to implement well-structured processes, which control package evaluation, creation, manipulation, import, export, validation, storage, and deployment. At the present time, RayPack consists of six main components, PackDesigner, PackTailor, PackRecorder, PackBot, PackWrapper,and PackBench. The documentation of the PackBench can be found in in the PackBench User Guide and it is not part of the RayPack User Guide.
With the current release 7.3 u6, Raynet extends the core components of the framework, which allow users to create MSI packages from scratch or build them upon the result of installation capturing processes on Windows platforms. It is also possible to extend standard installations with transforms (MST), create patches for fixes and small / minor updates (MSP), or edit their native contents.
