iPack Builder v2 is the successor of the iPack Builder version 1. Version 1 was simple and didn’t allowed much more options,but that gave me an idea to develop much more advanced version and result is this.
If you have made iPack with any older version ( current version is 2.2) , instead of remaking your iPack with new iPack builder, just upgrade your iPack.

What it is?
With this tool you can make icon pack installers in exe format. The installer will work perfectly on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 both x86 and x64. The idea was simple enough that we wanted to patch windows dll’s exe and other things without messing around.The existing solutions were in stable and took a great amount of time.
Why is this better than 7tsp:
- You can uninstall the pack from control panel just like you remove any other software
- More reliable scripting
- Faster method.
- Advance installer
- You don’t need any other software to install the pack.
- Simple interface, just click on buttons and install the pack.
- Packs built with iPack Builder and for 7tsp are nearly of same size.
- 7tsp cannot patch in Program files folders (only wmplayer I guess) but with iPacks you can patch in program files folder
- iPacks are smart enough to check if x64 windows, if found x64 windows then it will patch both x86 and x64 dll files.
What’s new in this version compared to iPack Builder Version 1:
- The previous version could only patch limited predefined files but this will look up for file, if found then only patch it!
- This version saves ACL files.
- Pack’s built with this version can be uninstalled from the control panel
- Much more reliable scripting.
- Multilingual support in the installer ( English , Spanish, Russian, German )
- Pack’s built with this version are smaller.
