Features

added

to

version

3.0

ImageUltra

Builder

3.0

has

implemented

significant

changes

on

how

base

maps

are

displayed

at

the

target

computer

during

deployment.

These

changes

are

a

result

of

ImageUltra

Builder

3.0

using

the

Windows

®

Preinstallation

Environment

(PE)

as

its

deployment

environment

instead

of

the

DOS

operating

system

used

by

previous

versions.

Under

DOS,

a

base

map

was

displayed

to

users

in

full-screen,

console-like

mode.

Now,

through

Windows

PE,

base

maps

are

presented

to

users

within

an

actual

window.

The

following

features

were

added

to

ImageUltra

Builder

version

3.0:

v

There

are

new

and

updated

map

settings

and

property

tabs

within

ImageUltra

Builder

3.0

Graphical

User

Interface

(GUI)

menu-driven

application,

which

control

the

appearance

of

deployment

and

installation

screens

at

the

target

computer.

v

Improved

Map

Menu

Program:

The

System

Menu

Keyword

field

has

been

moved

from

the

Menu

Appearance

tab

to

the

General

tab.

Since

this

only

applies

to

base

maps,

it

is

hidden

when

the

settings

dialog

applies

to

a

driver

map.

v

The

use

of

IBM

®

Cloudscape

®

,

a

client-server,

object-relational

database

system,

instead

of

the

previous

file-based

database

system.

v

The

use

of

a

new

boot

loader

on

the

ImageUltra

deploy

media

that

allows

the

install

process

to

continue

without

requiring

the

user

to

remove

or

deploy

media.

v

The

use

of

a

splash

window.

The

splash

window

is

used

to

display

the

contents

of

a

log

file.

A

message-box

dialog

displays

messages

to

users

as

it

moves

around

the

screen.

v

The

new

Wizard

the
