Holy. Crap.

I gotta say, MS did a number on the sequencer this time around.  I just packaged SPSS 19 in less than 20 minutes, albeit unsuccessfully on the client station, but hey!

The best changes so far are:

  1. Asks you where the installer is, very similarly with most other re-packager applications (KACE AppRepackager, Symantec Ghost AI)
  2. Has a check-box to enable the Next button when in packaging mode (no more hitting the Next button by accident!)
  3. When asking what OS values to include, it warns about selecting previous OS entries
  4. When asking what OS values, it also has a option to NOT select ANY for universal deployment
  5. When saving, and this is a big one, it auto-fills in the field with Desktop/[PackageName]/[PackageName].sft (no more New Sequencer Package.sft files!)

The actually DO listen to customers, it just takes a while to get the requests in the roadmap.
