well one answer might be repackaging software into .msi packages for distribution to client computers on a network. Installshield is a commercial product for creating self installing software programs [including the ability of the persona creating the package to define what,where, when ,how and who].

by csmith

The most common meaning of repackaging is where people (illegally) take OEM software and reshrinkwrap it and sell it as a retail product.

InstallShield is a program used by many Windows software writers, so they do not have to write a Windows install section for their program.
