Step 3: Analyze changes (Spy)

To analyze the changes, proceed as follows:

  • Select Create Application Package > Record installation in the Tasks window and then follow the wizard.
    Alternatively, select Automate> Application Installation in the Tasks window and then the option Record package using the NetInstall Spy in the WIzard.

    The Spy starts and analyzes the changes the software installation implies.
    After finishing the analysis, the Spy will show you how many KB will be copied to the package directory.

    Leave the option Analyze the installation of Plug & Play devices disabled.
    If you wish to analyze the installation of a Plug & Play device, consult: Driver Installation Method 3: Recording the installation.
    Keep the default settings for the automatic use of the variables if you do not have specific requirements.
    The Spy automatically recognizes Windows services that accompany the software (e.g. virus scanners). If a special account is required for the ser­vice, the Spy will prompt you to enter the account and password details.

  • Finish the Wizard in order to save the results in an eScript Package.
