This screen shows the options and controls available for application installation. It is available in BASIC and EXPERT mode.
|
Note: This page is only shown when a local repackaging ("Use this machine") was selected in the previous step. |
Application to Capture:
This field may contain the name of the application to capture (usually the installation executable). If the field has been set to the main installer on the project settings page, then this entry is present. If this field is left empty, then any actions that are carried out will be recorded (such as copying files, manipulating registry items, and the like). The Execute button has no effect if this field is empty.
Use Command Line Arguments
This checkbox allows the user to set command line arguments that are to be used in conjunction with the Application to capture field. When this check box is selected, any command line arguments in the appearing text input field can be entered. To use the command line arguments, be sure that the Application to capture field contains a valid file that can be executed, and be sure to click the Execute button.
EXECUTE
On clicking the Execute button, the values that have been entered in the above fields are used to execute an application (usually the installation) passing any command line arguments defined. During this process, the application required for use should be installed.
|
Note: If you specified an application to be executed and pressed the Next > button without clicking the Execute button beforehand, the setup will be started anyway. This is a one-time behavior by design. |
Other Actions (EXPERT Mode Only)
This option enables the saving of the current snapshot to a location of choice. This is especially useful if the snapshot is to be used later.
|
Tip: If the snapshot is saved before installing the application, then a snapshot of a clean machine is readily available and can be used again for any further capture projects. |
|
Note: If there is no installation routine to install and configure the application to be packaged (i.e. manual copy to target system), then there is no need to enter anything into the Application to capture field. Simply leave this empty and carry out the manual copy / paste installation, create any shortcuts, etc. Once the steps that comprise your "installation" have been completed, simply click the Next > button. |
