Immidio made Immidio Flex Profiles 6.0 available for free. Immidio Flex Profiles is largely based on the famous Flex Profile Kit by Jeroen van de Kamp and others. However, Immidio Flex Profiles no longer uses the Microsoft Office Profile Wizard or other “third party” tools.
Upgrading your Flex Profile Kit installation to Immidio Flex Profiles is very easy since it still supports the existing Flex Profile Kit .ops files. Also, the ini files which have probably taken you a lot of time to configure are fully supported.
On a technical level the new FlexEngine, the executable which replaces the Microsoft Office Profile Wizard, is noticeably faster and it uses a zip-archive format to store files and settings. These zip files can simply be opened using the windows explorer for editing and/or troubleshooting.
Besides the technical advantages, Immidio now also offers official support for their solution. This was not really possible for the Flex Profile Kit since it depends on third party tools.
