Capturing Applications
Single Program Capture
This captures only the installations that you execute from the Execute
Installations page. You can execute one or multiple installations. Any other
activity on the computer is ignored. This is the preferred method for creating
VSPs.
Global Capture
This captures all changes that are made to the computer during the capture
process. Use this method to capture default application settings or application
updates after an installation is complete.
5. Click Next.
The Execute Installation page appears.
6. On the Execute Installation page, do the following:
a. In .EXE Name, specify the full path of the installation executable. To capture an
.MSI, click Browse and specify the .MSI.
If you specify an .MSI, it appears in Command Line with the appropriate
Windows Installer command-line options and msiexec.exe appears in .EXE
Name.
b. To run the installation with command-line options, enter them in Command
Line.
c.
Click Execute.
The installation starts. Run the installation, installing the product as you want it
to be captured, and return to SetupCapture when the installation is finished.
d. (Optional.) If you selected Global Capture on the Welcome page, open the
application and set any preferences that you want set by default. Example: You
can set a default home page or custom security settings.
e. To run additional installations, repeat the preceding steps for each installation.
All installations that you run are added to the repackaged installation.
f.
Click Next.
The End Installation Capture page appears.
7. Click Next.
The SetupCapture Inclusions page appears. It displays the items that will be added
to the VSP. These items represent changes that were detected during the capture.
8. On the SetupCapture Inclusions page:
To display another type of item, select the type from Inclusion Type. Included
item types are files and registry keys.
To remove an item from the VSP, select it in the list and click Exclude. You might
want to remove an item if it is unrelated to the installation that was captured.
9. Click Next on the SetupCapture Inclusions page.
The SetupCapture Exclusions page appears. It displays items that are excluded from
the VSP. These items might be excluded because you specified them in the
SetupCapture Inclusions page, or because they match default exclusion criteria. If
you capture an application from Virtual Package Editor and save it as a virtual
software layer, nothing is excluded by default.
