Using ImageUltra Builder - IBM Redbooks

How to generate a SETUP.ISS file
1. Copy all source files for the application into an empty folder. Make sure you maintain the
folder structure that was provided on the software manufacturer’s distribution media. In the
case of a .ZIP file, make sure you maintain the folder structure when you unzip the file.
2. Open a command prompt window.
3. Change to the folder that contains the application SETUP.EXE file.
4. At the command prompt, type SETUP -R and then press Enter.

5. Follow the steps to install the program. As you install the program, the keystrokes and
mouse clicks are recorded in the new SETUP.ISS file. Because the values you type will be
used on all target computers, you should use company-related information in place of any
personal information for which you might be prompted.
6. When the installation is complete, the new SETUP.ISS file will be in the Windows folder
for Windows XP and the WINNT folder for Windows 2000.
7. Copy the new SETUP.ISS file from the Windows folder into the folder that contains the
application SETUP.EXE file.
Note: Newer versions of InstallShield might involve different steps.
Now that you have generated all necessary files to silently install your package, you can
create a module in ImageUltra Builder from these source files.

For this example we will create an application module based on the application WinRAR.
Steps to create an application module from your application source files:
1. Select the Applications tab (Figure 1-46 on page 46).
2. Right-click the space in the window, select Insert application.
3. Click Next to create a module. You will see a window similar to Figure 1-19 on page 29.
