To start SetupCapture in Workbench
In Wise Package Studio, do one of the following:
On the Tools tab, double-click SetupCapture.
On the Projects tab, click the Run link to the right of the task or tool associated
with SetupCapture (Virtual Package). The package that is created is saved with
the default project name. This tool might skip dialog boxes or populate fields
based on command-line options defined in Process Templates Setup.
Requires SVS Driver on the SetupCapture computer.
Note
Instead of capturing an existing application to create a Virtual Software Package (VSP),
you can use the SVS Enabled Package option in Software Manager. This option lets you
keep all the configuration logic in the original installation.
See About SVS Enabled Packages in the Software Manager Help.
SetupCapture records all the changes performed by an installation and can save that
information to a Virtual Software Package (VSP). You can use SetupCapture to capture a
package as a VSP from Workbench or from Virtual Package Editor. When you use it from
Virtual Package Editor, you can save the output as a virtual software layer or a virtual
software project file (.WVP). When you use it from Workbench, you can only save the
output as a .WVP file.
Before you capture an installation, close all other applications so that changes they
make are not captured. After you capture an installation, you can use Virtual Package
Editor to edit it.
