Suite Creator
Bundle your installs
into one deployable suite.
Suite Creator lets software packagers combine installs, uninstalls, and configuration steps into a single executable — ready for Intune, SCCM, PDQ, or any deployment tool.
Everything a suite needs, in one place
Add as many of these as your deployment requires — each one gets its own install and uninstall behaviour.
Packages
MSI, MSIX, or any installer executable, run in order, each with its own install/uninstall behaviour.
Files & Folders
Deploy files to the device — placed during install, removed on uninstall, or left permanently.
Registry
Create registry keys and values, with full control over whether they're removed on uninstall.
Environment & Extensions
Set environment variables like PATH, or install browser extensions as part of the suite.
Popups
End-user messaging while the suite runs — warnings, install progress, deferrals with a timer, and an automatic pause if the user's on a call.
Executables & PS Scripts
Run setup utilities, commands, or full PowerShell scripts with supporting files bundled alongside.
Certificates & Drivers
Install certificates into a chosen store, or install/remove Windows drivers from an .inf.
Service & Process Closures
Stop services or close running processes before installs run, so files aren't locked.
Rules & Shortcuts
Gate any event on a file, registry value, or condition match, and create desktop or Start Menu shortcuts.
See it in action
A visual editor for every step — no hand-rolled wrapper scripts.
Files & Folders
Built for how packaging actually works
One exe, any deployment tool
Suite Creator produces a single executable plus a detection rule — push it out with Intune, SCCM, PDQ, or anything else that runs an .exe.
End-user aware
Warn users before an upgrade, show install progress, and let them defer with a timer — all previewable before you ship.
Centrally locked down
Admins can enforce the popup branding, log location, and a global PowerShell gate via an AppSettings.json, instead of leaving it to each packager.
Import an existing suite
Point Suite Creator at a suite .exe you've already built and it extracts everything back out — packages, files, registry, popups and all — into a ready-to-edit project, so the next version starts from the last one instead of a blank canvas.
Deploying Java x32 and x64, the way it actually goes
Say you need to roll out Java 32-bit and 64-bit across the org. That's rarely just "run two MSIs" — it's a whole list of surrounding requirements, and normally each one means another block of PowerShell to write, test, and maintain.
What the deployment actually needs to do
- Uninstall every prior version of Java before installing the new ones
- Install Java x32 and x64
- Import registry settings to disable Java Update, set
JavaHome, and enableHideSystemTrayIcon - Add the
JAVA_HOMEanddeployment.expiration.check.enabledsystem environment variables - Force-close apps you know lock the Java runtime, so the install doesn't fail
- Run a script to import a batch of certificates into the Java cert store
- Warn end users first — they'll lose the apps you're about to close — but let them skip/defer if they need a minute
- Log every step so you can prove what happened if a machine reports back broken
Where each piece lives in Suite Creator
- Packages — one entry to uninstall old Java versions, two more for the x32 and x64 installers, ordered and chained into a single suite
- Registry — the Java Update,
JavaHome, andHideSystemTrayIconvalues, set on install and rolled back automatically on uninstall - Environment & Extensions —
JAVA_HOMEanddeployment.expiration.check.enabledadded as system variables - Files & Folders / Packages — the certificate-import script shipped and run as part of the sequence
- Popups — a skippable warning telling users which apps are about to close, previewable before you ship
- Built-in logging — every package, registry change, and script run is logged automatically, no extra transcript code needed
The point isn't that any one of these is impossible to script individually — it's that normally you're the one gluing all seven together, testing the ordering, and hand-rolling the user warning. In Suite Creator each piece is just a step you add in the UI.
A modern editor, not just a means to an end
The app you'll actually spend your day in is built to feel like a proper native Windows app.
Auto-save & crash recovery
Your work is saved automatically a few seconds after every change. Close unexpectedly or crash mid-edit, and Suite Creator offers to restore exactly where you left off next time it opens.
Themes & accent colour
Switch between light and dark, and pick your own accent colour from the Settings page — applied live, no restart required.
Fluent UI
Built on Avalonia's Fluent design system, so it looks and behaves like a modern native Windows app rather than a bolted-together utility.
Integrated interactive help
A dedicated Help button walks you through whichever page you're on with contextual tips — no separate manual to go hunting through.
Documentation
Guides for building suites, locking down settings, and understanding the runtime.
