Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 178)

Utilities reside in the staging area (service partition or network-staging folder) and
do not get installed on an active partition. Little preparation is required for the
source files. The following are the only requirements:
v The utility must be in a ready-to-run format. It cannot require an installation
process.
v The utility must be placed in a dedicated folder on a drive that is accessible by
the ImageUltra Builder console.
v The utility folder structure must be maintained.
When the source files meet these requirements, you can set the attributes for the
new utility.
Setting the attributes for a new utility module
The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new

module, see “Setting the attributes based on an existing utility module” on page
165.
