Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 200)

The process for creating an application module that uses a batch file for installation
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:
When creating an application module that contains a batch file, create the module
as if it were a standard application module, taking into consideration the following
exceptions:
v In the Source tab, complete the Source Directory field with the entire path to
the folder containing the batch file and related application files for the module
you are creating
v In the Source tab, complete the Silent Install Command field with the name of
the batch file
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.
Note: Using a batch file to install an application requires that the application files
and the batch file are the only files that exist in the directory. You can have
as many batch files as needed, but only one batch file will be executed from
the silent install command.
After specifying attributes for the application module, click the Save icon located
in the Main window toolbar. Then, build the module
Condition: Providing hardware detection for applications that do not have
detection capabilities. For example, you might have an application that is needed
only if a specific hardware device is present, but the application does not have
hardware detection capabilities. An example of this type of application is a CD-RW
application that does not have hardware detection.
Depending on the level of hardware detection required, there are two possible
solutions.
Solution 1: If the application is unique to a specific vendor PCI device, you can
assign the ImageUltra 5.0 PCI - Adapter Check filter to your application module. This
filter is provided as part of the ImageUltra Builder program and checks for the
presence of a specific 12-digit PCI vendor device ID. The filter parameter format
for this filter is VVVVVV DDDDDD, where VVVVVV is the vendor ID and
DDDDDD is the device ID. For more information about associating a filter with an
application module, see “Setting the attributes for a new application module” on
page 153 or the ImageUltra Builder help system.
Solution 2: If you already have a separate program to detect hardware, or if you
have the resources to develop one, the ImageUltra Builder program enables you
create an application module that includes a Win32 program that does hardware
detection and then installs the application, if it is needed.
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:
