A PowerShell module based packaging framework.

This packaging framework contains parts of the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit (Version 3.7.0) project from http://psappdeploytoolkit.com/ with modifications, fixes, custom extensions and new features. The modification includes a conversion from a simple included script into an PowerShell module and it's extended with some additional functions and variables we missed in the original implementation.

In addition we provide extensions with improved functionality which are available on request.

This extra toolset includes actually the following features:

• enteo/NetInstall/DSM/avanti/HEAT/Frontrange Migration Converter as PowerShell Module to migrate proprietary Packages to PowerShell
• Wise Script Migration Converter as PowerShell Module to migrate proprietary Packages to PowerShell
• NSIS Script Migration Converter as PowerShell Module to migrate proprietary Packages to PowerShell
• SCCM Toolset (e.g. to build collections, parameter inheritance,..)
• Sample Application Package Templates (est. 270+ Applications)
• Sample OS Configuration Package Templates (est. 100+ Package Templates)
• Sample Citrix Configuration Package Templates (different versions e.g. Provisioning Server, XenApp, XenDesktop - always up2date)
