RapidWinstaller is a replacement for the Wininstall Interactive Installer. If you have a large amount of NAI/LST packets the Interactive Installer get's very slow. Customers with large amount of Packets had to wait up to 120 seconds until they could select software to install.
The only solution was to split the large lists into a few main LST list files. For some companies this was not an option.
The Interactive Installer was never improved in speed even with all the releases that came since 8.6.
This was one of the main reasons we began developing our own Installer for larger customers.
With the RapidParser Script your are able to generate a Menu XML file beginning from your
starting LST file like myapps.lst. The Script generates an XML file which can be used
in the RapidWinstaller to select and install Software.

Selections can be saved and loaded
RapidWinstaller let's the Helpdesk and Setup employee arrange and build their own little customized groups
and save them under a filename. If you don't want your helpdesk or setup staff to
have access to the Wininstall console this is a good way to give them more options.

Packages are installed in the order they should
The RapidWinstaller shows the packages in the order they will get installed. If you deselect
a package from the Selection it will be removed and other packages steps up in the array.
You can choose options for running the WINSTALA.EXE like quiet or prompt.
Setup staff can, depending on their expierence on certain applications, choose if the installation will run complete silent or with feedback when errors happen.

Setup staff knows if there is enough space before they start installing. This is still a problem if you don't run Microsoft Operation Manager Agent or Nagios on every client.
How many times did Helpdesk tell you Wininstall is not working? And it was only a hanging existing MSIEXEC process
or the user had not enough space?
