The

process

for

creating

an

application

module

that

uses

a

batch

file

for

installation

is

similar

to

creating

a

standard

application

module.

However,

there

are

slight

differences

when

you

specify

the

attributes.

After

you

have

your

source

files

prepared,

use

the

New

Module

Wizard

to

create

a

new

application

module

as

you

would

a

standard

application

module,

but

allow

for

the

following

exceptions

when

you

fill

in

the

attributes:

When

creating

an

application

module

that

contains

a

batch

file,

create

the

module

as

if

it

were

a

standard

application

module,

taking

into

consideration

the

following

exceptions:

v

In

the

Source

tab,

complete

the

Source

Directory

field

with

the

entire

path

to

the

folder

containing

the

batch

file

and

related

application

files

for

the

module

you

are

creating

v

In

the

Source

tab,

complete

the

Silent

Install

Command

field

with

the

name

of

the

batch

file

v

In

the

Options

tab,

type

the

full

path

to

where

the

files

are

to

be

copied

in

the

Path

to

copy

installable

files

field.

Note:

Using

a

batch

file

to

install

an

application

requires

that

the

application

files

and

the

batch

file

are

the

only

files

that

exist

in

the

directory.

You

can

have

as

many

batch

files

as

needed,

but

only

one

batch

file

will

be

executed

from

the

silent

install

command.

After

specifying

attributes

for

the

application

module,

click

the

Save

icon

located

in

the

Main

window

toolbar.

Then,

build

the

module

Condition:

Providing

hardware

detection

for

applications

that

do

not

have

detection

capabilities.

For

example,

you

might

have

an

application

that

is

needed

only

if

a

specific

hardware

device

is

present,

but

the

application

does

not

have

hardware

detection

capabilities.

An

example

of

this

type

of

application

is

a

CD-RW

application

that

does

not

have

hardware

detection.

Depending

on

the

level

of

hardware

detection

required,

there

are

two

possible

solutions.

Solution

1:

If

the

application

is

unique

to

a

specific

vendor

PCI

device,

you

can

assign

the

ImageUltra

4.0

PCI

-

Adapter

Check

filter

to

your

application

module.

This

filter

is

provided

as

part

of

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

and

checks

for

the

presence

of

a

specific

12-digit

PCI

vendor

device

ID.

The

filter

parameter

format

for

this

filter

is

VVVVVV

DDDDDD,

where

VVVVVV

is

the

vendor

ID

and

DDDDDD

is

the

device

ID.

For

more

information

about

associating

a

filter

with

an

application

module,

see

“Setting

the

attributes

for

a

new

application

module”

on

page

151

or

the

ImageUltra

Builder

help

system.

Solution

2:

If

you

already

have

a

separate

program

to

detect

hardware,

or

if

you

have

the

resources

to

develop

one,

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

enables

you

create

an

application

module

that

includes

a

Win32

program

that

does

hardware

detection

and

then

installs

the

application,

if

it

is

needed.

The

process

for

creating

this

type

of

application

module

is

similar

to

creating

a

standard

application

module.

However,

there

are

slight

differences

when

you

specify

the

attributes.

After

you

have

your

source

files

prepared,

use

the

New

Module

Wizard

a

new

application

module

as

you

would

standard

application

module,

the

following
