Capturing the Setup Process

Restore the Clean Image on the Snapshot PC (It should already have the WPS or the WPSClient.EXE installed with drive mapping to the Wise Share Point).


On the Snapshot PC

-Logon as local Administrator and launch Wise Package Studio

-In the Workbench, click Projects tab

-Select the Sun_JVM_v1_4_2_03 Project that we setup

-Click on Run beside Create package to launch SetupCapture

-At the Welcome screen, click the Settings button

-At the SetupCapture Configuration screen

-Change the Advertising setting to: Convert registry entries and retain registry information

-Change the Capture Methodology to: Use snapshot comparisons only

-Check the box: Do not change current configuration file – apply to current capture only

-Click Ok

-Back at the welcome screen, click Next

-Capture Methodology; click Next

-Begin Installation Capture, click Next to take the first snapshot.

-Execute Installation, click Execute to launch the setup.exe

Notice that the EXE name is already entered for you when you use Projects in WPS.

-Click the Execute button

-Accept the license; Click Next

-Select Typical; click Next

-It copies all the files

-Click Finish

Notice that the EXE line is now blank. In theory you could browse to another exe (like a patch) to make it part of the same package. (I don’t know if it would become another feature in your resulting MSI package or not. I doubt it)

-Click Next


End Installation Capture; don’t touch this screen just yet. You are at the “Point of No Return” and we still want to tweak things a bit. Just leave it alone for now and we’ll come back to it.

-Press Win-D for Show Desktop and:

-Delete the Java Web Start icon from the desktop.

-Delete the Java Web Start folder from the Start menu.

-Launch the Java Plug-in applet in the Control Panel
