Lenovo ThinkVantage ImageUltra Builder Version 5.0 - Manual (Page 202)

After specifying attributes for the device-driver module, click the Save icon located
in the Main window toolbar. Then, build the module.
Condition: Preparing a device-driver module that installs using an .INF file, but
also has an application executable packaged with it.
Solution: Some applications are hardware dependent. These applications are
sometimes designed to contain both device-driver and application files. For
example, you might have source files that contain a wireless device driver
intended for a wireless network card and a configuration utility intended to work
in conjunction with the network card.
In this case, if you make an INF-only device-driver module from the application
source files, the application might fail to install correctly. Conversely, if you make
an application module from the application source files, the device driver might fail
to install correctly.
Although there are several ways to address this exception, the easiest and most
successful solution is to make a device-driver module that is both an INF installable
and an executable. This method is optional and cannot be used for
Hardware-Specific Images.
The process for creating this type of device-driver module is similar to creating a
standard device-driver 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 device-driver module as you would a standard
device-driver module, but allow for the following exceptions when you fill in the
attributes:
v In the Options tab, check the INF installable check box.
v In the Source tab, complete the Silent Install Command field with the
command used to install the application.
After specifying attributes for the device-driver module, click the Save icon located
in the Main window toolbar. Then, build the module. After building the module,
insert the module into the appropriate driver map. When the module is installed
with the image, the .INF files are copied first into the Windows driver directory,
and then the silent install command is executed during the Windows audit boot.
Making allowances for modules that require a reboot
Occasionally, you might encounter a condition where an application, add-on
operating-system component, or device driver must trigger a reboot cycle to
complete its installation. The ImageUltra Builder program provides a Reboot after
install
check box on the Options tab of the module window. When the Reboot
after install check box is marked, the ImageUltra Builder program does the
following during the installation phase:
1.
Records the state of the overall installation process
2. Initiates a reboot cycle at the end of the module installation
After the reboot cycle, the overall installation process continues where it left off.
To instruct a module to reboot after install, do the following:
1.
Open the appropriate repository.
