Rescue
and
Recovery
installation
The
following
instructions
are
for
the
files
that
can
be
downloaded
separately
from
the
Large
Enterprise
individual
language
files
download
page.
1.
The
main
installation
executable
for
Rescue
and
Recovery
is:
v
Z501ZISXXXXUS00.EXE
for
Windows
XP
and
2000
v
Z503ZISXXXXUS00.EXE
for
Windows
Vista
where
XXXX
is
the
build
ID.
This
is
a
self-extracting
installation
package
that
extracts
the
installation
source
files
and
launches
the
installation
using
the
Windows
Installer.
It
contains
the
installation
logic
and
the
Windows
application
files.
The
package
does
not
contain
any
of
the
Predesktop
Area
files.
Note:
Windows
Vista
uses
a
different
package
than
Windows
XP
and
2000.
2.
Predesktop
Area
US
Base
(approximately
135
MB):
This
is
the
password
protected
zip
file
that
contains
the
entire
Predesktop
Area
US
base.
Its
name
is
in
the
format
v
Z501ZABXXXXUS00.TVT
for
Windows
XP
and
2000
v
Z503ZABXXXXUS00.TVT
for
Windows
Vista
where
AB
determines
the
compatibility
of
the
Predesktop
Area
and
XXXX
is
the
build
id.
This
file
is
required
to
install
the
Predesktop
Area
on
all
language
systems.
This
file
must
be
in
the
same
directory
as
the
main
installation
package
(either
installation
executable
or
Rescue
and
Recovery.msi
if
extracted
or
OEM
install).
The
exceptions
to
this
are
if
the
Predesktop
Area
is
already
installed
and
does
not
need
to
be
upgraded
or
if
the
property
PDA=0
is
set
on
the
command
line
when
executing
the
installation
and
the
Predesktop
Area
(any
version)
does
not
already
exist.
The
installation
executable
contains
a
file
pdaversion.txt
that
contains
the
minimum
version
of
the
Predesktop
Area
that
can
work
with
that
version
of
Windows.
The
installation
executable
installer
will
look
for
a
Predesktop
Area
file
using
the
following
logic:
v
Old
Predesktop
Area
(Rescue
and
Recovery
1.0
or
2.X)
exists
or
no
Predesktop
Area
exists:
The
installer
will
look
for
a
.tvt
file
with
a
compatibility
code
(for
example:
AA,
AB)
that
is
equal
to
the
minimum
version
compatibility
code
and
a
level
that
is
greater
than
or
equal
to
the
minimum
version
(all
other
version
fields
in
the
.tvt
filename
must
match
the
minimum
version
exactly).
If
a
file
is
not
found
meeting
these
criteria,
the
installation
is
halted.
v
New
(Rescue
and
Recovery
3.0
or
greater)
Predesktop
Area
exists:
The
installer
will
compare
the
current
Predesktop
Area’s
compatibility
code
against
the
minimum
version
compatibility
code
and
take
the
following
actions
based
on
the
results:
–
Current
code
>
Minimum
code:
The
installer
presents
a
message
that
the
current
environment
is
not
compatible
with
this
version
of
Rescue
and
Recovery.
–
Current
code
=
Minimum
code:
The
installer
compares
the
current
version
level
against
the
minimum
version
level.
If
the
current
level
is
greater
than
or
equal
to
the
minimum
level,
the
installer
looks
for
a
.tvt
file
with
a
compatibility
code
(for
example:
AA,
AB)
that
is
equal
to
the
minimum
version
compatibility
code
and
a
level
that
is
greater
than
the
current
version
level
(all
other
version
fields
in
the
.tvt
filename
must
match
the
minimum
version
exactly).
If
it
does
not
find
a
file,
the
install
process
continues
without
updating
the
Predesktop
Area.
If
the
current
level
is
less
than
the
