How to create a recovery point

CreateInstall does not have a special command to create a restore point during the installation process. You can use the .vbs script for this purpose.

Set sr = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")

msg = "Restore Point has been created"

'Put a ' in front of the next five lines to disable the Success Failed Prompt.
If (sr.createrestorepoint(msg, 0, 100)) = 0 Then
    ' MsgBox msg
Else
    ' MsgBox "Restore Point creation Failed!"
End If

'Remove the ' from the next 3 lines to only alert you if the process failed
'If (sr.createrestorepoint("Automatic Restore Point", 0, 100)) <> 0 Then
'    MsgBox "Restore Point creation Failed!"
'End If

Create a .vbs file and copy the code there. Include this file in your installation.

Unpack this script into a directory and run it with the Run JavaScript & VBScript command.
