Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 189)

Chapter 10. Using ImageUltra Builder on Windows Vista and
Windows 7
There are differences when ImageUltra Builder is deploying Windows XP,
Windows Vista, and Windows 7. This chapter provides information to help you
understand the differences between the processes on each operating system, as
well as how they relate to each other.
Operating system differences between Windows XP, Windows Vista,
and Windows 7
The configuration of operating systems in Windows XP is defined in files such as
UNATTEND.TXT, WINBON.INI, and SYSPREP.INF. In Windows Vista and
Windows 7, all these configurations are in the UNATTEND.XML file. Creating an
Ultra-Portable module for Windows XP or Windows 7 defaults the installation to
the C:\I386 folder. For Windows Vista and Windows 7, the installation runs from
the C:\sources directory. Windows Vista and Windows 7 introduces the Windows
Imaging format (WIM). WIM files contain sets of files and related file system
information. Windows Vista and Windows 7 also introduces offline servicing of the
operating system. This allows you to install software and configure the operating
system without booting it.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 offline servicing module
This module can be used to install language packs or Quick Fix Engineering
(QFEs) even before the operating system is booted. To create an offline servicing
module, do the following:
1.
Open the New Module Wizard.
2. Click Next, then select the Operating System radio button.
3. Enter a name for the new module, then click Next.
4. If creating a module with the same settings as an existing module, select that
module and click Next. If not, click Next.
5. Select Add-on operating system module and click Next.
6. Click Finish to close the wizard and create the new module.
Once the module is created, the ImageUltra Builder window opens. To complete
the module building process, do the following:
1.
On the OS/Languages tab, select the Windows Vista 32 and Windows Vista 64
or Windows 7 32 and Windows 7 64 check boxes.
2. On the Source tab, select the directory containing the CAB file for the language
pack or QFE.
Note: If the source is a CAB file and the Silent Install Command and the
Postinstall Command are not provided, ImageUltra will create a default
script, pkgmgr.exe. The default script is:
pkgmgr.exe /o:"C:\;C:\windows" /ip /m:"C:\SWWORK\srv4\6v00000\lp.cab"
/s:C:\SWWORK\srv4\6v00000 /L:C:\WINDOWS\lp.LOG
