Review all available new releases of the application packaging tool here.

The new version 5.7 of PACE Suite is released.

IntuneWin Packages

PACE Suite enables you to easily convert the existing app installer into the IntuneWin package (.intunewin) with the help of our wizard.

Enhanced User Experience for MSI Packages

We have introduced the ability to view and manage Fonts of the MSI package. You can now register a new Font pointing to the file inside the package or import Fonts from the file system. The Package Designer will create and maintain the necessary MSI database structure to ensure that Fonts are installed to the target system correctly.

Support of Local Hyper-V

We have extended the list of supported virtualization solutions for running remote capturing and testing in manual or automated mode. From now on, you can also configure virtual machines of the local Microsoft Hyper-V that can be run even on the Windows desktop version.

Product Rebranding

To better match the current market trends, PACE Suite is introducing the new logo and becoming a part of the PACE Products together with PACE Packager Hub.

We have also decided to rename MSI Generator to Package Generator to better match the functionality and purpose of this product.
