Unlike the Mac version of netOctopus, the Windows version does not include a PC version of FileScripter. However, there are many third party applications from various software vendors that do provide this functionality, the ability to take "before" and "after" snapshots of your system. One of these repackaging applications is InstallRite from Epsilon Squared Inc. From these snapshots InstallRite is able to generate a software package installer in .EXE format that can be used in conjunction with netOctopus' Execute PC Installer to remotely deploy software to Agent machines. The
5. Click the 'Next' button to take a "before" snapshot of your system.
6. After InstallRite is finished taking the "before" snapshot of your system it will prompt you to supply the name of the setup program for the application that you want to install.
7. Install your application as you normally would. After the application has finished installing, InstallRite will present you with the following screen. Click the 'Next' button for InstallRite to take the "after" snapshot and record the changes since the "before" snapshot.
8. After InstallRite is done recording the changes between the "before" and "after" snapshot, it will ask you for the name of the application that you just installed. In most cases you can accept the default that InstallRite provides and click 'OK'.
9. Click the 'Finish' button to get back to the InstallRite Control Panel.
10. Select 'Review Installations' from the InstallRite Control Panel.
11. In the InstallRite Review window, make any changes to the snapshot that you want. Remove any extraneous file, .INI, and registry changes that you know are not part of the installation for the application that you just installed. Often some files and registry changes occur as part of the normal functioning of the Windows OS and has nothing to do with the installation of your application.
12. Highlight the name of your application package in the left hand panel and click the 'Kit' button to generate an installation package in .EXE format.
13. Choose a path and file name for the resulting installation package.
14. A dialog box specifying options for the installation package will appear. Check the 'Quiet installation mode' checkbox and click the 'OK' button.
15. When the installation package has been successfully generated you will get the following message.
16. Place this installation package on a file server and grant the Everyone group Read access to this share. Be sure to also remove any spaces in the file name of the installation package. This will prevent any problems with UNC naming path conventions (Netscape Navigator 4.08.exe ==> netscape408.exe ).
17. Use netOctopus' Execute PC Installer command to remotely deploy this software installation package silently to Agent machines. By default the software installation package created with InstallRite using the procedure outlined in this document will run silently. As a result there is no need to use a /s or -s switch in the 'Options' field of the Execute PC Installer dialog box. If you are unfamiliar with the Execute PC Installer command take some time to review pages 157-159 of the netOctopus User's Guide or the following Execute PC Installer How to Guide.

One picture is my PowerDVD 5 and there i must put the key.
The other one is what I had in mind about the key. I want to use the key before the making of the PDVD5 addon so after the OS installation i have no problems with the program.

I had a few issues with the program, one i got an I/O error 145, i had to close the program. At the time i didnt know it left old traces of past projects if it didnt complete. So when i tried to make a
new .CAB it was a 4mb program and the cab came out to 252mb, the way i fixed this was to delete the dir and reinstall the program.
Thanks.

It always places 1 program for folder.
It never places more than 1 program in the same folder alone will be to make a Batch File.
Ok, 1.1 doesn't crash, it was only because of a 1.7gb file, files.7z in the program files folder
Like the new UI in 1.2, but when selecting English (USA) some words are still Brazilian.
