Albanian Solution Packager

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to extract solution .zip file into multiple XML files and pack those files back into a .zip file by selecting a solution in the environment or downloaded solution .zip file (developed by Betim Beja).

The "SolutionPackager" tool from Microsoft can reversibly decompose a Microsoft Dataverse compressed solution file into multiple XML files and other files so that these files can be easily managed by a source control system. However, it can only process the downloaded solution .zip file and it is a command-line tool and the parameters arguments need to be precisely entered in a specific format.

To extract/pack the solution in a more user-friendly manner, you can use this tool to set the parameters in GUI and select the solution in the environment without manually download the solution .zip file.
