To

build

a

Vista

base

operating-system

module,

use

the

New

Module

Wizard

to

create

an

operating-system

module

in

the

repository.

When

you

have

finished

defining

the

attributes,

you

can

select

the

module

from

the

repository

and

use

the

build

tool

to

create

the

module.

If

you

are

creating

an

Ultra-Portable

Image

using

a

Windows

Vista

base

operating-system

module,

you

must

create

an

UNATTEND.XML

file

in

Windows

Vista

to

define

certain

user

information

and

control

the

operating-system

installation.

The

UNATTEND.XML

file

is

an

answer

file

that

resides

in

the

C:\Windows\Panther

folder

and

contains

all

of

the

information

required

by

the

Windows

setup.

Although

you

can

use

the

User

Information

tab

in

the

base

maps

to

provide

some

of

this

information,

it

does

not

provide

all

of

the

fields

required

for

this

type

of

installation.
