Kaseya Packager The Packager is a wizard tool used to create an installation package when the existing install packages may need user interaction and may not include some pre- and/or post-installation steps. Packager evaluates the state of the target machine before and after the installation process.

How the Packager Works? In Windows, the state of the target machine is simply the state of the Windows registry and its file system. The Packager compiles the differences in the before and after states into a single executable file—the package—that can be distributed via agent procedures to any managed machine.
