Driver to capture application installer instructions
Hi
I am thinking about developing an application to use at my company to help automate installing software and was thinking about a driver which captures instructions from an installer which is used an application. For example a user wants to install mysql. The user hits record on my app and then launched mysql.exe and goes through the install proceedure. Once he has finished he presses 'End' on my app. At this point an AnswerFile is produced containing a list of instructions to install Mysql. If the user needs to install it again, they fire up my app, select the Mysql answerfile and press play.
Is this possible? I assume a driver will be needed to capture kernel level instructions? could anyone please point me towards any resources which might help me produce a design for the idea.
Thanks
