1.5.6 Module Window Tabs When creating and adding modules to the ImageUltra Builder repository, a window with multiple tabs will be presented allowing you to describe various properties for the module. Refer to Figure 1-21 on page 30. Following is a description of those tabs. General Tab The general tab allows you to enter general information about the module. Module name, version number, description of module, and there is even a field to encrypt your module. Languages Tab By checking a language and operating system box, ImageUltra Builder will check the operating systems and language during the deployment stage; if there is no match, the module will not be deployed. Source Tab In the source tab you detail all commands and files necessary to the execution of a module. ► In the Source directory field, browse to the directory where the source file for this application is located. Example: C:\apps ► In the Silent install command field, browse to the executable file contained in your source directory. Example: C:\apps\wrar280.exe ► In the Parameters field, type your silent install switch. Example: /s. ► Close the Properties window, and when prompted, select Yes to save. Filters Tab Filters are usually DOS-based programs. Typically, they will be a .EXE or .BAT file. Once you have created your filter modules you can then apply them to other modules. Example: Filter ISIBM will run a check to make sure the hardware this module is being deployed to is an IBM Machine. Options Tab There are a number of fields on this tab that will allow you to control the installation behavior of the module: Target location These fields define whether the application files should be copied to the target partition. If you type a path in this field and you also provide a Silent install command on the source tab, the files will be copied to the target partition in addition to the application being installed. If you type a path in this field and you do not provide a Silent install command on the Source tab, the files will be copied to the target partition, but the application will not be installed automatically. Behavior These fields are used to control the module installation order. ► Install hook – Install during auditboot (Default): This selection enables the module you are creating to be installed during the first boot after the Windows setup is complete. 16 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder
– Install during customer first boot: This selection enables the module you are creating to be installed after the auditboot, upon successful completion of Windows setup. – Install when customer chooses via desktop shortcut: This selection enables users to install the module after the image is installed by clicking a shortcut on the desktop. The ImageUltra Builder program copies the module source files to a folder on the user partition and creates an icon on the desktop that links to the installation file. ► Install slot: The install slot number determines when a module is installed in relation to other modules that are assigned during the same boot cycle. Install slot numbers range from 1 to 9. The higher the slot number, the later the module is installed. Hardware Independent Imaging Technology (HIIT) behavior This field determines how Hardware Independent Imaging Technology behavior is implemented during the installation process. This field only applies to modules that you plan to include in a driver map. Typically, you do not want to modify this field unless there are unique circumstances regarding the module you are creating. The following are the choices associated with the HIIT behavior field: ► Normal device detection: This selection is intended for device-driver modules that are used in driver maps. ► Ignore HIIT processing: This selection is intended for unique application modules that are used in driver maps. For example, you might want to include an application that contains application files and device drivers. In this case, you can choose to put the module in both maps. ► Always install: This selection is intended for modules in a driver map that fail to install correctly during normal HIIT processing. For INF installs only ► INF installable: Mark this check box if the module you are creating is an INF installable. This field is typically used for device drivers only. ► Relative location of INF files in the source: This field is activated only if the INF installable field is marked. This field requires an entry if INF files needed for this module are not located in the folder defined in the Source directory field of the Source tab. If you need to define a path, the path must be a relative path based on the root folder of the source files. 1.6 ImageUltra Builder process to create a Smart Image The following ImageUltra Builder process steps to create a Smart Image are covered in more detail in the referenced sections: ► Create a repository (refer to 1.7, “Create a repository” on page 18) ► Import IBM Preload modules into your Repository (refer to 1.8, “Import IBM Preload modules into your repository” on page 22) ► Create custom modules - preparation (refer to 1.9, “Create custom modules - preparation” on page 26) ► Create an application module from source files (1.10, “Creating an application module from source files” on page 28) ► Create a device driver module from source files (refer to 1.11, “Creating a device driver module from source files” on page 32) Chapter 1.
