Package Conversion Manager provides an easy to use interface for converting packages to ConfigMgr 2012 app model applications which greatly reduces the amount of time as well as the number of mistakes that might be made if manually converting ConfigMgr packages to app model apps. PCM also comes with a number of features. These include:

  • an analysis engine, bulk analyzer, Package Conversion dashboard which helps in determining the state of a package and where you are in the overall process of converting your packages to applications
  • The PCM plug-in which helps convert custom script wrappers to applications
  • And of course the conversion process - Convert or Fix and Convert

 With System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager Beta being made available there is a new version of Package Conversion Manager. Please take a look below for the appropriate version of PCM to download and install.

In order to install Package Conversion Manager the ConfigMgr console must be installed.

System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager Package Conversion Manager 2.0 Beta has released and is available from the download page here. There are no new features or functionality in the 2.0 version of PCM over the previous version, however as there were a number of changes made in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 Beta, which are incompatible with the previously released version of PCM, a new version of Package Conversion Manager was required to be released. If you have System Center 2012 Configuration Manager 2012 RTW then please take a look at the section below. It is important to note that this version of PCM is available in English only.
