Dealing
with
exceptions
The
ImageUltra
Builder
program
is
designed
to
be
extremely
flexible.
This
design
encourages
exploration
as
you
and
your
team
become
comfortable
building
images
and
modules.
As
your
image-building
process
evolves,
there
might
be
times
when
you
want
to
accomplish
tasks
not
covered
in
the
previous
chapters
or
in
the
ImageUltra
Builder
help
system.
The
purpose
of
this
chapter
is
to
provide
you
with
solutions
to
special
exceptions
that
you
might
encounter
as
you
develop
your
image-building
process.
The
information
in
this
chapter
provides
an
overview
on
how
to
deal
with
exceptions.
For
detailed
step-by-step
instructions
about
working
with
map
settings
or
module
attributes,
refer
to
the
ImageUltra
help
system.
Application
module
exceptions
There
are
several
ways
that
application
modules
are
created
to
store
important
information
that
is
not
directly
related
to
application
source
files.
The
following
conditions
explain
some
of
the
unique
exceptions
pertaining
to
applications.
Condition:
Adding
non-installable
application
files
(or
files
of
any
kind)
to
Ultra-Portable
and
Portable-Sysprep
Images.
Solution:
The
ImageUltra
Builder
program
enables
you
to
build
an
application
module
that
simply
copies
files
to
a
specific
location
on
the
target
computer
hard
disk.
This
method
is
optional
and
cannot
be
used
for
Hardware-Specific
Images.
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
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:
v
In
the
Source
tab,
fill
in
the
Source
Directory
field
with
the
complete
path
to
the
folder
containing
the
non-installable
files
for
the
module
you
are
creating
v
In
the
Source
tab,
do
not
enter
any
commands
for
the
Silent
Install
Command
field,
the
Preinstall
Command
field,
or
the
Postinstall
Command
field
.
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.
v
In
the
Options
tab,
use
the
Target
Partition
drop-down
menu
to
select
the
appropriate
partition
where
the
files
are
to
be
copied.
After
specifying
attributes
for
the
application
module,
click
the
Save
icon
located
in
the
Main
window
toolbar.
Then,
build
the
module.
Condition:
Creating
batch
files
to
install
applications
for
Ultra-Portable
and
Portable-Sysprep
Images.
Solution:
Certain
applications
require
significant
logic
in
order
to
install
correctly.
The
ImageUltra
Builder
program
enables
you
to
install
these
types
of
applications
using
a
batch
file.
This
method
is
optional
and
cannot
be
used
for
Hardware-Specific
Images.
