I don't understand the sysshot method

[help22970]

Hello,

even after reading the documentation, I don't understand what it does and in what specific cases it can be used.
Does this allow us to install applications that are done in 2 steps?

Cordially,
Help22970.

Hello,

Thanks for your message.

It is recommended to use the Sysshot method only when it is not possible to create a deployment package using the Silent or Marco methods. It is suitable for small programs that don't make many changes in the system where you install them.

To create a deployment package, TSD makes 2 snapshots of your system (before and after the installation). Then TSD allows you to create a deployment package based on the difference between the states of the system. You can manually select which changes in the regstry and file system should be considered as part of the installation process.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Ok thank you :), I just have a quick question that is irrelevant. But is it possible to also deploy, for example, a printer driver? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Ok that's actually good. I have to install an .exe so no problem ^^

We don't really recommend using the Sysshot method for drivers. In rare cases, deploying drivers using this method can damage the remote system.
Some drivers may not apply to different systems in the same way, so deploying such changes can lead to unforeseen consequences.

Yes don't worry, in general I will only use silent mode. I couldn't find any software or this method doesn't work. Thank you anyway for warning me.
