Record Install

[Percius]

Well I have attempted to make a Auto Install DVD that uses a VB program written by me to add users, set comp name, set admin password, and choose programs to install. The Weird thing is that some installers such as Clone CD will not launch well the VB window is open. I used auto it on it and many others some of which work and some do not. So I have 2 questions.

1. Anyone know why a VB.net program would prevent CloneCD or any others from Opening? The AutoIt Script sits in the background listed as not responding until the window closes then quickly does the install.

2. Is there a way to record exactly where files are put on an install so I can do my own install. I already know exactly what reg keys were written, but it seems that there is a file that is illuding me.

Thanks In Advance

In response to question 2...

This program takes a snapshot before and after you run an install and actually makes a copy of all the files that were added and a reg of all entries that were made, as well as an msi file that will deploy it all for you. Pretty straight forward.. check out the help file to get started.
