Software Manager Reference
Use the existing Virtual OS file
Mark this if you are working in a clean build environment and you previously ran
the Virtual OS Creation utility on the current computer. This option is enabled
only if a Virtual OS is found on this computer.
Use a different Virtual OS file from the share point directory or network
Mark this if you previously ran the Virtual OS Creation utility on another
computer and the resulting .WOS file is available in the share point directory or
another network directory. Then specify the .WOS file to use.
7. Click Next.
The Begin Installation Capture page appears.
8. Click Next.
If you selected the existing Virtual OS file, the Virtual OS is cleaned. This means
that installed remnants from the last capture or universal import are removed
from the Virtual OS directory and registry structure.
If you selected a .WOS file, it is expanded onto your computer to form a Virtual
OS directory and registry structure. This process takes several minutes and
requires a substantial amount of free disk space.
The Package Details dialog box appears.
9. Complete the dialog box:
.EXE File
Specify an .EXE to import. This cannot be a 16-bit application (designed to run
on 16-bit operating systems). Virtual Capture only works on 32-bit applications.
Application Name
To create a new application, enter a unique name. To add this package to an
existing application, select an application from the drop-down list.
For information on application and package names, see
Packages on page 22.
Package Name
Enter a unique name to identify this package. Typically, you use the application
name plus specific version information. Example: If the application name is
Adobe Acrobat Reader, the package name might be Acrobat Reader 5.05.
To replace an existing package, select a package from the drop-down list.
10. Click Next on the Package Details page.
Note
It is very important to start installations from this page by clicking Next. If you start
them outside this page, the Import Wizard is unaware of the changes that occur.
The installation opens. Run through the installation normally. The installation is
simulated; it is not really installed on your computer. Files and registry entries are
redirected into the Virtual OS on your computer.
The Finish page appears.
11. Click Finish to complete the import process.
