Wise Package Studio Reference

Test Expert
To test on multiple computers
1. Make sure the package to be tested is in the share point directory.
2. Perform a Server installation of Wise Package Studio on a server.
3. Perform a Client installation of Wise Package Studio Client on the testing computers.
This installs only the shortcuts and support files needed to run Wise Package Studio.
The program files are not installed locally, but are run from the packaging server.
4. On the testing computers, open Test Expert, and open the package.
The results file that is stored with the .MSI is read and the current testing status of the
.MSI is displayed in Test Expert.
Note
If you don’t have permission to write to the directory that contains the package, results
files are stored in the temp directory of the local computer.
Machine Capture Settings
¾
Quality Assurance module only.
When you click Install, Install As, or Uninstall in Test Expert, a wizard appears in which
you can run Machine Capture. Machine Capture creates a snapshot of the current state
of the computer. It provides results for uninstall tests by comparing pre-installation and
post-uninstall snapshots. Uninstall tests are not available if a group is open.
See
Uninstall Tests
on page 193.
In the initial dialog box of Machine Capture, you can set options that govern how the
snapshot is created. These options are saved in a configuration file that is shared with
both SetupCapture and SOE Snapshot. See:

Tests
¾
Quality Assurance module only.
You can specify the directories to be captured when Machine Capture creates a snapshot
of the current state of the computer. Uninstall tests show only the results from the
directories you specify. Uninstall tests are not available if a group is open.
At a minimum, specify the Program Files directory and the Windows or Winnt directory,
including subdirectories. For the most complete record of changes, specify the C:\ root,
including subdirectories. However, watching the entire root might capture changes that
occur during normal operation and have nothing to do with the installation. You can
exclude irrelevant changes to avoid recording them.
