I don't think repackaging a good idea - a lot of work adding merge modules, fixing dll's issues, etc. I created a suiteable package, selecting only the needed options, using the :CD\WIN32\setup\SapAdmin.exe. Then, I used the command lines to deploy:

sapsetup.exe /silent /p:"my_custom_package_name" /install /sms

After all, you can, by the same way, use a command line to install the needed SAP GUI upgrades, using the sapsetup.exe:

SAPSETUP.EXE /Patch:"%PathToPatch%\SEM31A.EXE
Setup Information:
Setup Type: unspecified
Deployment Method Used: unspecified
Deployment Difficulty: unspecified
Platform(s): Windows

120
Command Line
SAP 46D - SAP 6.20
To Uninstall: We use:
rmdir /q /s %windir%\SAPwksta
\\SERVER\SHARE\SAPGUI620P58\setup\sapsweep.exe /all /delsubdirs /delregkeys /EmptyRB /y

Once this is run, we then call SAPSETUP in a similar manner described above.

Also in the workstations local SERVICES file we add a service:

sapmsPRD 3600/tcp
The port number will change for your particular installation.

Make a suiteable Package.

I repackaged SAP GUI 6.4 Compilation3 using WISE Package studio. I added the merge modules that were recognized by the capture. After compiling my package, I had a problem with the install stating that "setup requires Internet Explorer version 5.0.2314.0 or above." The machine actually had version 6+. I found the issue to be in the SQLBase.msm merge module. I found the solution fixing the merge module and it fixed the package. See the link under the links section for the fix.

No problems using AdminStudio 7.5's Repackager I took a simple two step snapshot approach which worked fine. Brief summary:
1- Took Repackager 1st snapshot of clean system
2- Installed SAP GUI 6.2 and two EXEs (SAP GUI upgrades) specified by my org's SAP techinical team (one of which entailed a reboot)
3- Took 2nd snapshot, culled resulting IRP of extraneous stuff, created ISM then my MSI and did one final tweak to my MSI:

I added our in-house custom SAPLOGON.INI file, which I wanted to put into the User Profile (as we intend to deploy as a user-assigned app and we have a few different versions of that INI file). In order for the SAP Logon Pad to reference that INI (by default the SAP GUI only looks in Windows directory) I created a new User Environment Variable named SAPLOGON_INI_FILE (SAP GUI looks for this environment variable's value before defaulting to Windows dir for the INI) and set its value to [%APPDATA]\SAP\SAPLOGON.INI

I was doing SAP GUI 6.40 installation yesterday:

I repackaged the original installation of the product by Wise Packages Studio 5.6. It went without any problems and at the end it asked for several Merge Modules, which I confirmed. The compiled installation worked fine on clean Windows, the installed application worked nicely.

Unfortunatelly when I tried to install the application to my own computer, it failed. In event log I found it had problem with registering C:\Windows\System32\msxml4.dll. Probably the reason was that MSXML4 packae was already installed on my machine (by another application), but no matter I quickly found a solution.

I deleted all three dll's
Windows\System32\msxml4*.dll
from the installation and added MSXML4 merge module provided by Wise (for which it did not ask for when I run the Setup Capture, don't know why).

Now the installation works fine, not only on clean Windows, but also on all other computers in our company.

And finally, of course I made a small MST transform which adds the SAPLOGON.INI entries to the package, so the client installs directly with the configuration to our SAP servers ready.

SAP introduced a new method for applying patches automatically in GUI 6.10:

Download the patches from service.sap.com, put the EXE files on the network and call

%ProgramFilesDir%\SAPPC\NetInst\SAPSETUP.EXE" /Patch:"%PathToPatch%\SEM31A.EXE"

This will update a local installation of the SAP GUI.
