Barcelona, Spain – Microsoft TechEd IT Forum 2007 (Booth D6) – November 12, 2007 – ScriptLogic(r) Corporation (www.scriptlogic.com), a leading provider of systems lifecycle management solutions for Microsoft Windows-based networks, today announced Desktop Authority MSI Studio 4.0, a solution that reduces the cost of application ownership and software distribution by simplifying the creation, modification and deployment of application installers. The product’s comprehensive tool set empowers administrators to develop, enhance and test Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) packages for pain-free software distribution to desktops across the enterprise. Version 4.0 now integrates with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 for rapid roll-out of applications across the enterprise.

Desktop Authority MSI Studio 4.0, offered in both standard and professional versions, combines package capture, re-packaging of existing installers, an intuitive MSI editor that exposes the most frequently accessed properties, many wizards to simplify common tasks, and enhanced functionality for performing rapid validation visually within the editor.
