Hi,
i`m searching in the forum (not for a long time :blushing: ) but i didn`t found anything that helps me, so...
must i have a completly clean system to use Wininstall discover feature?
in that case, does any app which restore the OS how it is just installed, deleting files...? i know that windows can do that but it also deletes my .msi packages, i´m searching for an app that allows to select drives to scan
use wininstall is as easy as i find or has secrets?

Thaks a lot, bye, i hope i have written everything well.

I don't think you will need a clean system.
What I do is remove my AV and Firewall, because they write (update) files (mostly logs) to the harddrive.
Those files will then be added to the package wininstall creates, which isn't what I want.
Off course I'm using VMWare to do this, not a real system.
