Yes, it can be done--I did it about two years ago (same thing,
documenting the install process for NT Server). Unfortunately, the
details are a bit hazy,..
I do recall that I ran a screen capture utility of some sort, and
captured the successive screens to floppy diskettes (lots of them),
which are still gathering dust in my home office. I will check into
it when I get home tonight and let you know if I have any further
suggestions for you.

Subject: Capturing screens during installation
Hello:
I'm writing a manual for a server product that runs on Windows NT.
Windows NT has to be installed in a certain way because of some hardware
considerations. Is there a way to capture screens during the
installation process? I'm sure I could mock up the screens if I have to,
but I would rather grab the screens as I go through the motions.
