wininstall usage

[bearmos]

i was searching the forum before for switches and i found the program wininstall. It looks like a really nice program, but i'm having some problems.

I'm trying to use wininstall le 2003 to create an msi file for an ssh client. I ran the snapshot tool before install the program on a "clean" machine, followed all the prompts, installed the ssh program and ran the disco32.exe again. It looked like it was scanning for changes, but in the end all i got was a 67 KB file called ssh.mxi.

I've read through all the documentation supplied and it doesn't appear that i have to do anything else, but it's just not working, i've tried this several times with the same result.

If anybody has had a similar problem or has an idea of what could be wrong, please let me know

thanks a lot!

some programs like winrar doesn't get proper snapshots.

u can manually look for changes in files. mostly the registry changes will be tracked by the program

try a different program.. for example installshield repackager.. it takes snapshots as well and the repackager is free..
