Re-packaging applications is basically taking an application and customizing the installation to meet the needs of the organization.  It could be creating a silent installation so there's no user interaction. Any time you give a user options to do anything, they're going to pick the wrong thing. Repacking applications is also making the application conform to corporate standards. This is a huge benefit in terms of cost savings from a desktop and help desk standpoint. So, making sure that every desktop has the same configuration, components, and directories installed. The other purpose of re-packaging is making sure the application integrates well in the company's environment. When an ISV creates a software application, they don?t care how it integrates with other applications. From a corporate standpoint, the goal is to make sure the application plays well with the company's standard desktop environment. By repackaging, you can take that application and compare it with all the other applications. You can make sure there are no conflicts between .dll files, for example.
