2. Record a manual installation: TARGET_PATH\setup.exe /r
- "/r" to create a response file
- "/f1" optional to specify where to save the new response file

3. Rename the setup.iss in the TARGET_PATH-directory to e.g setup.iss_old

4. Copy the setup.iss from your Windows-directory to TARGET_PATH

5. Run the installshield package with the new script: TARGET_PATH\setup.exe /s /f1"TARGET_PATH\setup.iss" /SMS
- "/s" to run silent
- "/f1" to specify where the response file is, there is no space between the switch and the path
- "/SMS" to prevent network connection and setup.exe from closing before install is complete

Here's a workaround for those using WPS to package Remedy User 6.3:

Article ID: 2985

WfWI.exe crashes or displays error that scan has been removed or corrupt when beginning after scan of snapshot setup capture

Note: If you are experiencing this particular known issue and wish to be notified of changes in the status of this issue, please subscribe to the article by clicking to the right of this article. As the status of this request is updated, subscribers will be notified of any changes and decisions that are made.

Applies To

• Wise Package Studio 4.62, 5.6, 6.x

Problem/Symptoms

When running a snapshot, with only capture of the Remedy install referenced, WfWI.exe crashes when the after-scan is started. The following are the steps used to create this problem:

1. Start SetupCapture and select Snapshot only.
2. At the Execute Installation screen, browse to the Setup.exe retrieved.
3. Install the application, selecting all the dialog defaults.
4. After the application installs, start the after-scan.
5. WfWI crashes.

For 6.0 and forward, when an application deletes the before scan, this error message is displayed:

The before scan has been removed or corrupted. This could be a side-effect of the specified package. You can change the location of the before scan by setting the following registry key: 'HKCU\Software\Wise Solutions\Windows Installer Editor\Settings\Repackagedir'



Environment



Wise Package Studio version 5.6 HF1
Wise Package Studio 4.62
Any Windows operating system
Captured application - ARUser 6.3; Remedy

Cause

The Setup.exe deletes the temporary files created for the before-scan.

Resolution

Code has been added to Wise Package Studio 6.0 to check for valid before-scan information, thus preventing the crash of WfWI.exe. However, there is no way to anticipate whether or not the Setup.exe will remove the before-scan code, so any user of WPS may have to create a registry value to change the temporary repackage directory:

HKCU\Software\Wise Solutions\Windows Installer Editor\Settings\RepackageDir

You should make sure that the directory you specify exists before starting the setup capture.

Alternatively

1. After the initial scan, copy the ~WREPACK.TMP directory from the temporary directory to the desktop.
2. Install the application
3. Before the post scan, restore ~WREPACK.TMP to the temporary directory.

If you are not sure what the temporary location is on your machine, enter %TEMP% from the Windows Command Line.
