Chapter

9.

Specifying

the

module-installation

order

The

ImageUltra

Builder

program

enables

you

to

change

the

order

in

which

modules

are

installed.

Usually,

there

is

no

need

to

change

the

default

module

installation

order

unless

one

or

more

of

the

following

conditions

exist:

v

One

or

more

modules

require

other

modules

to

be

installed

first

v

The

image

is

not

installing

correctly

v

You

are

installing

a

partitioning

module

(other

than

a

Primary

NTFS

Partition

partitioning

module)

v

Modules

are

interfering

with

each

other

during

installation

The

default

installation

order

for

modules

is

automatically

controlled

by

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program.

However,

you

can

override

the

default

module

installation

order

for

add-on

operating-system

modules,

Portable-Sysprep

and

Hardware-Specific

base

operating-system

modules,

partitioning

modules,

application

modules,

and

some

device-driver

modules.

The

amount

of

control

depends

on

which

boot

cycle

the

module

will

be

installed.

Note:

If

you

need

to

control

the

install

sequence

for

a

device-driver

module,

you

must

put

the

device-driver

module

in

a

base

map

instead

of

a

driver

map;

otherwise,

any

settings

you

make

for

the

install

hook

or

install

slot

will

be

ignored.

For

more

information

about

configuring

a

device

driver

module

so

it

can

be

included

in

base

map,

see

Chapter

11,

“Getting

help

and

support,”

on

page

181.

I386

or

Windows

Vista

base

operating-system

modules

always

install

the

Windows

operating

system

first;

therefore,

you

cannot

modify

the

installation

order

of

these

base

operating-system

modules.

There

are

three

methods

of

changing

the

default

module-installation

order:

v

Modifying

the

install

hook:

The

install

hook

defines

the

boot

cycle

(audit

boot

or

customer

first

boot)

in

which

the

module

is

to

be

installed,

or

if

the

module

should

be

installed

manually

through

the

use

of

a

desktop

icon

after

the

image

has

been

installed.

You

can

modify

the

install

hook

for

add-on

operating-system

modules,

application

modules,

and

some

device-driver

modules.

Install

hooks

do

not

apply

to

Portable-Sysprep

or

Hardware-Specific

base

operating-system

modules

or

to

partitioning

modules

because,

by

design,

these

modules

are

always

installed

before

the

audit

boot.

Install

hooks

also

do

not

apply

to

modules

designated

to

be

installed

via

a

desktop

icon.

The

install-hook

setting

is

located

in

the

Options

tab

of

the

module

window.

Note:

The

Install

hook

setting

in

an

I386

base

operating-system

module

is

not

used.

v

Modifying

the

install

slot:

The

install

slot

defines

a

priority

grouping,

1

through

9999,

where

modules

assigned

to

the

slot

1

group

are

installed

first,

modules

assigned

to

the

slot

2

group

are

installed

next,

and

so

on

until

modules

assigned

to

the

slot

9999

group

are

assigned

last.

You

can

modify

the

install

slot

for

add-on

operating-system

modules,

application

modules,

and

some

device-driver

modules.

Install

slots

do

not

apply

to

Portable-Sysprep

or

Hardware-Specific

base

operating-system

modules

or

to

partitioning

modules.

The

install-slot

setting

is

located

in

the

Options

tab

of

the

module

window.
