Tips on Using the Spy

For analyzing applications, use a special user account with the following properties:

  • Local administrator
  • No roaming profile - a roaming profile would falsify the results of the analysis.
  • The account can have a home drive but this should be empty.

In the following situations, you should not use the Spy to take installation snapshots:

  • Printer installations. Use the eScript command InstallPrinter and/or AddPrinterConnection.
  • Service pack (operating system) installations. Use the eScript command execute <Path\Servicepack.exe\Parameter...> to install the service pack (activate the option Wait for service to start).
