Capturing Applications
Virtual Capture™
If you selected the existing Virtual OS, the Virtual OS is cleaned. This means that
installed remnants from the last capture are removed from the Virtual OS directory and
registry structure.
If you selected a .WOS file, it is expanded onto your computer as a Virtual OS directory
and registry structure. This process takes several minutes and requires a substantial
amount of free disk space.
See
Using SetupCapture With Virtual Capture
on page 237.
SmartMonitor™
SetupCapture starts a monitoring process that watches all local directories for changes.
Snapshot
SetupCapture performs an initial scan to determine the contents of the computer before
you run the installation to be captured. It scans the directories specified in Directories to
Watch and the registry. Depending on the contents of your computer, the initial scan
can take several minutes. Do not work on the computer during the scan.
If you are using a previous initial scan, the scan is skipped.
SmartMonitor in conjunction with Snapshot
SetupCapture starts monitoring and scanning.
Using a Previous Scan
On the Initial Scan page, specify whether to rerun the initial scan or use the initial scan
that was created previously.
This page appears during SetupCapture if you selected the snapshot method and one of
the following is true:
z
You previously started a SetupCapture but canceled before it completed. In that
case, use the initial scan that was created previously.
z
You previously performed a SetupCapture on this computer. Because it is
recommended that you perform SetupCaptures on a clean machine, cancel this
SetupCapture and reimage the computer or reinstall the operating system before
proceeding. The exceptions are if you are capturing the results of an uninstall, in
which case it is appropriate to use the previous scan, or if you are using Virtual
Capture.
z
You made an image of a drive after the initial scan was completed and use that
image for all new SetupCaptures. In that case, use the initial scan that was created
previously.
If you are running multiple SetupCaptures on a single computer, and if you use a drive
imaging application, you can use the Initial Scan page to save time when you perform
new SetupCaptures. On a clean machine, start SetupCapture and run it just long enough
to perform an initial scan. Then cancel SetupCapture and make an image of the hard
drive. Use that image to perform subsequent captures.
