Repackaging Software

What do you do for the few applications that cannot be packaged using normal methods? There are some packages you cannot package using standard processes, but you can repackage them. Software repackaging takes an existing application installation and converts it to an MSI package. You would take a snapshot of a system before and after installing the software on a system and then convert the results into the MSI package. Review the IT Ninja website (http://itninja.com/software) and browse for repackagers. In addition, check out myITForum (http://www.myitforum.com), and participate in the community for suggestions on the best software packager.
