Need an application that can take a snapshot of a computers hard drive and registry, let a user install an application or make setting changes, and then capture the difference into an .exe file.
Need to be able to open a pre-built .exe file created using this application and modify settings.
Attached is a version of a program called RapidInstall that performs all of the functions we would like to have. Please use it as a guide for functionality.
Parts of RapidInstall that we do not need at this time are:
**File >** Create Report, Variable Manager
**Tools >** Installer, RIP Update, Conflict Checker, and RIP to MSI Migration Utility.
**Help >**None of the help.
When a Package is built, under **Options**, we do not need the “**External Programs**?? part.
***REVISED*** After further consideration, we believe this should be written in a language that doesn't rely on the .Net framework. Please notify me if you are able to accommodate this bid request and let me know what language you believe would be the best to use and why.
