Chapter 10. Using ImageUltra Builder and Windows Vista
There are differences when ImageUltra Builder is deploying Windows XP and
Windows Vista. This chapter provides information to help you understand the
differences between the processes on each operating system, as well as how they
relate to each other.
Operating system differences between Windows XP and Windows
Vista
The configuration of operating systems in Windows XP is defined in files such as
UNATTEND.TXT, WINBON.INI, and SYSPREP.INF. In Windows Vista, all these
configurations are in the UNATTEND.XML file. Creating an Ultra-Portable module
for Windows XP defaults the installation to the C:\I386 folder. For Windows Vista,
the installation runs from the C:\sources directory. Windows Vista introduces the
Windows Imaging format (WIM). WIM files contain sets of files and related file
system information. Windows Vista also introduces offline servicing of the
operating system. This allows you to install software and configure the operating
system without booting it.
Windows Vista offline servicing module
This module can be used to install language packs or Quick Fix Engineering
(QFEs) even before the operating system is booted. To create an offline servicing
module do the following:
1. Open the New Module Wizard .
2. Click Next , then select the Operating System radio button.
3. Enter a name for the new module, then click Next .
4. If creating a module with the same settings as an existing module, select that
module and click Next . If not, click Next .
5. Select Add-on operating system module and click Next .
6. Click Finish to close the wizard and create the new module.
Once the module is created the ImageUltra Builder (name?) window opens. To
complete the module building process, do the following:
1. On the OS/Languages tab, select the Windows Vista 32 and Windows Vista 64
check boxes.
2. On the Source tab select the directory containing the CAB file for the language
pack or QFE.
Note: If the source is a CAB file and the Silent install and Postinstall command
is not provided then ImageUltra will create a default script, pkgmgr.exe.
The default script is:
pkgmgr.exe /o:"C:\;C:\windows" /ip /m:"C:\SWWORK\srv4\6v00000\lp.cab"
/s:C:\SWWORK\srv4\6v00000 /L:C:\WINDOWS\lp.LOG
This is done for every CAB file found in the directory. If you want to
change this behavior then provide your own Silent install command,
Preinstall command, or Postinstall command.
