Editing

unique

scripts

The

ImageUltra

Builder

program

enables

you

to

specify

whether

or

not

you

want

to

view,

and

edit,

build

scripts

whenever

you

build

a

module.

In

most

cases,

the

program

generates

the

build

scripts

by

processing

information

that

is

contained

in

the

module

attribute

tabs.

Editing

scripts

is

optional,

and

is

typically

done

to

troubleshoot

problems

or

specify

installation

options

that

are

not

provided

by

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program.

Important:

Base

operating-system

modules

for

Portable-Sysprep

Images

and

Hardware-Specific

Images

do

not

generate

a

build

script

when

you

build

a

module;

nor

does

a

partitioning

module.

All

other

types

of

modules

do

generate

a

build

script

during

the

build

process.

Condition:

Editing

Unique

Scripts

Solution:

If

you

choose

to

edit

build

scripts,

some

of

the

file

extensions

might

be

familiar

while

others

might

not.

The

following

is

a

list

of

unique

files

that

contain

build

scripts

and

a

brief

description

of

each:

v

LPL,WPL,

and

BAT

files:

These

files

are

run

during

WinPE

mode

(immediately

before

the

Windows

installation

begins,

even

before

the

audit

boot).

Editing

these

scripts

requires

using

Win32

commands

only.

v

CMD

files:

These

files

are

executed

during

the

Windows

audit

boot.

Editing

these

scripts

requires

using

Windows

commands

only.

CMD

files

apply

to

Windows

XP

installations

only,

and

only

if

Windows

XP

is

checked

in

the

OS/Language

tab

for

that

particular

module.

v

FM

and

FM2

files:

Generally,

these

files

are

used

by

the

Fmodify.exe

program.

This

program

is

used

to

automatically

modify

the

contents

of

other

files.

In

most

cases,

an

FM2

file

functions

similarly

in

Windows

2000

as

a

CMD

file

functions

in

Windows

XP.

Notes:

1.

If

you

are

not

familiar

with

the

Fmodify.exe

program,

it

is

available

in

the

tools

directory

of

the

module

repository

and

is

made

when

the

repository

is

created.

To

get

more

information

regarding

editing

FM

file

scripts,

go

to

the

tools

directory

and

enter

the

following

command:

modify

/?

2.

If

you

rebuild

a

module

after

it

is

edited,

then

you

have

to

edit

the

scripts

again

the

next

time

you

build

the

module.

It

is

a

good

idea

to

track

your

edits

carefully

and

record

them

in

a

separate

file

for

safekeeping.
