Installing

images

on

the

target

computer

after

deployment

In

a

standard

network

installation

(network-deployment

with

local

installation)

or

an

installation

from

ImageUltra

Distribution

Media,

the

first

boot

cycle

following

the

end

of

deployment

starts

the

installation

process.

The

following

sequence

of

events

takes

place

during

the

installation

process.

1.

An

installation

menu

is

displayed

on

the

screen

of

the

target

computer.

The

content

and

behavior

of

this

menu

is

controlled

by

the

base

map.

The

person

performing

the

installation

makes

selections

from

the

menu.

The

installation

program

collects

modules

associated

with

the

selected

menu

items

until

all

required

modules

are

accumulated.

2.

The

accumulated

operating-system

modules

and

application

modules

are

decompressed

and

copied

to

the

C

partition.

3.

The

device-driver

modules

defined

in

the

driver

map

are

decompressed

and

copied

to

the

appropriate

folder

in

the

C

partition.

4.

Depending

on

the

type

of

image

you

are

installing,

either

a

complete

Windows

setup

or

Sysprep

mini-setup

operation

begins.

If

you

are

installing

an

Ultra-Portable

Image,

a

full

Windows

setup

operation

begins.

If

you

are

installing

a

Portable-Sysprep

Image

or

a

Hardware-Specific

Image,

a

Sysprep-controlled

mini-setup

operation

begins.

Note:

If

you

add

user

information

to

your

base

map,

any

prompts

that

you

defined

take

place

near

the

beginning

of

setup.

If

you

do

not

add

user

information

to

your

base

map,

prompts

for

specific

user

information

occur

in

the

normal

progression

of

the

setup

process.

Not

taking

advantage

of

the

user-information

feature

might

necessitate

that

an

installer

be

physically

present

at

the

target

computer

longer.

If

you

are

installing

an

Ultra-Portable

Image

that

uses

an

I386

base

operating-system

module,

the

partitioning

and

formatting

of

the

drive

is

controlled

by

the

primary

partitioning

module

and

the

Sysprep

module.

The

operating-system

installation

and

basic

user

settings

are

controlled

by

the

UNATTEND.TXT

module

in

Windows

XP

and

UNATTEND.XML

module

in

Windows

Vista,

and

the

ImageUltra

Customizations

module

prepares

the

image

for

installing

application

modules.

5.

Upon

the

successful

completion

of

the

operating-system

setup,

the

setup

process

begins

for

each

application

program

that

was

deployed

as

a

module.

The

installation

order

is

determined

by

a

combination

of

the

following:

v

The

hooks

and

slots

defined

in

the

Options

tab

of

attributes

associated

with

the

module

v

The

Install

Order

tab

of

the

base-map

Settings

window

Note:

For

more

information

about

the

Install

Hook

and

Install

Slot

module

attributes

and

the

base-map

Settings

window,

see

Chapter

9,

“Specifying

the

module-installation

order,”

on

page

167

or

the

ImageUltra

Builder

help

system.

6.

When

all

applications

have

been

installed,

the

installation

process

is

complete.

If

you

specified

in

the

base

map

that

the

service

partition

is

to

be

deleted

or

resized,

the

operation

will

take

place

at

this

time.
