Does this replace the need for tools like AdminStudio and Package Studio?
That is not the intention of the AppDeploy Repackager. Admin suites like these offer much more functionality for the thousands of dollars you pay for them. AppDeploy Repackager serves to produce a simple MSI setup based on file and registry values only from changes detected during a standard snapshot process. For editing an MSI database, it is recommended that you try InstEd. For a more detailed list of what the AppDeploy Repackager does and does not do, see below.
