Great way to document your installations

There are several tools when documenting your installations. Ofcourse you can use tools like Snagit and there are many others. But sometimes you are installing something on a server and you don’t have access to one of those tools. Then you can use the Problem Steps Recoder default build in Windows (Server). Just hit run psr and hit enter.

Choose Start Record and proceed to installing the software. When you are finished just hit Stop record and enter a file name. The tool creates a zip file with an mht file (opens in Word) within.

Here are some screendumps how it looks :

The tool automatically creates screendumps and writes down what your mouse and keyboard input was. Ok, when you hit the delete key 20 times, it shows the delete button 20 times. But you can easily edit this or use copy paste to another document.
