In the context of this site, software packaging refers to the process of taking an application supplied to the Windows Administrator by a development team, software vendor, or other entity and preparing it for deployment to desktops in the organization.
Packaging can involve taking the raw files, registry entries, and shortcuts, and bundling those into an installer.
Software “repackaging” generally means taking an existing installer (e.g., a “setup.exe”) and turning it into a fully-configured package that can be deployed in an organization without end user intervention. This can be as simple as adding some switches to the command line to make the software install silently, or as complicated as taking before and after snapshots of a machine and building an MSI or Setup.exe from that.
