5. Edit the inclusions as needed:
From Inclusion Type, select the type of inclusion to display.
To exclude an item from the SOE Snapshot, select the item and click Exclude.
To add an item to the exclusion list for the current configuration file, select the
item and click Exclude Globally. If the Exclude Globally button is unavailable,
see
Setting SetupCapture Configuration Security
on page 44.
6. When you finish editing inclusions, click Next.
The SOE Snapshot Exclusions page appears. It displays the files, registry keys, .INI
files, and shortcuts that were excluded from the SOE Snapshot, based on the
exclusion list that is defined in SetupCapture Configuration settings.
See
SetupCapture Configuration
on page 202.
7. Edit the exclusions as needed:
From Exclusion Type, select the type of exclusion to display.
To include an item in the SOE Snapshot, select the item and click Include.
8. When you finish editing exclusions, click Next.
The Finish page appears.
9. In File Name, specify the name and location of the .SOE file and then click Finish.
An .SOE file containing the SOE snapshot is created in the location you specified. You
can use Software Manager to import this file into the Software Manager database. Then,
in ConflictManager, you can check for conflicts between other applications and your
SOE.
Note
You might see a message telling you that a service in the capture requires a password to
function correctly. This happens when a service on the computer is installed under an
account other than the system account. Because you won’t be installing the result of an
SOE Snapshot onto another computer, it is not necessary to enter a password.
Capturing With Wise Web Capture
¾
Not available in Standard Edition.
Wise Web Capture, which you run from a browser, lets you capture installations on a
clean machine without installing any additional software. It also lets you capture on a
computer that is running a non-supported operating system.
Example:
A repackager manages a large group of computers on which captures are performed.
Before a capture, each computer is re-imaged. The repackager cannot change the image
in any way. By using Wise Web Capture, the repackager can quickly re-image the
computer and perform the capture without pre-installing capture software.
Wise Web Capture records all the changes performed by an installation and saves that
information to a new Windows Installer package. It does this by scanning the computer
before and after the installation and recording the differences between the two scans.
(This is the same as the snapshot method that SetupCapture uses.) Wise Web Capture
uses a predefined exclusion list to determine which items to ignore during the capture.
