customer-first-boot cycle. (See “Modifying the install sequence with a base
map” on page 172
for more information.)

It is important that you understand that the default settings are different for
imported ImageUltra modules and modules created through the ImageUltra
Builder program.

v

By default, all imported ImageUltra-developed application modules and add-on

operating-system modules are installed during the audit boot. The audit boot is
the first boot cycle after Windows setup is complete and occurs before the
customer first boot.

v

By default, all application modules and add-on operating-system modules created
through the ImageUltra Builder program
are installed during the customer first boot.

The ImageUltra Builder program enables you to control the installation order for
modules that are installed during the audit boot and modules that are installed
during the customer first boot. One benefit of keeping modules in the audit boot is
that it typically decreases the time needed during the customer first boot. One
benefit of defining modules to be installed during the customer first boot is that
you can control the installation order within an install slot, a benefit you do not
have with modules installed during the audit boot.

Partitioning modules

If you are working with a map that contains one or more partitioning modules,
you must do the following:

v

If the only partitioning modules used in a map are Primary NTFS Partition
partitioning modules, no modifications to the install sequence are required.

v

If you are using any other type of partitioning module you must modify the
install sequence in the Map Settings window to ensure the following:
– The partitioning modules are installed before any base operating-system

module that yields an Ultra-Portable Image; otherwise, the partitioning
module might not be installed.

– The partitioning modules are installed in the correct order to get the desired

result.

See “Modifying the install sequence with a base map” on page 172 for more
information.

Modifying the install hook

If you are working with an add-on operating-system module, application module,
or a device-driver module that gets installed from a base map, you can modify the
install hook. Modify the install hook in the Options tab of the module window.
The following is a list of choices available from the Install Hook drop-down menu:

v

Install during audit boot (Default):

This selection enables the module you are

creating to be installed during the first boot after the Windows setup is complete.

v

Install during customer first boot:

This selection enables the module you are

creating to be installed after the audit boot, upon the successful completion of
Windows setup.

v

Install when customer chooses via desktop shortcut:

This selection enables

users to install the module anytime after the image is installed by clicking a
shortcut icon on the desktop. In this case, the ImageUltra Builder program
copies the module source files to a folder on the user partition and creates a
shortcut icon on the desktop that links to the installation file.
