your

map

contains

multiple

operating

systems

and

all

of

be

installed

from

I386

base

operating-system

modules,

you

can

insert

the

ImageUltra

entry.

If

your

map

also

contains

base

operating-system

modules

for

Portable-Sysprep

Images

or

Hardware-Specific

Images

or

imported

ImageUltra-developed

base

operating-system

modules,

you

must

insert

the

ImageUltra

module

under

the

menu

item

used

to

select

the

operating

system

that

will

UNATTEND.TXT

module

The

UNATTEND.TXT

module

contains

the

UNATTEND.TXT

file

that

defines

the

values

to

be

used

during

an

unattended

installation.

The

ImageUltra

Builder

program

provides

two

sample

UNATTEND.TXT

files:

v

UNATTEND.W2K:

For

use

with

Windows

2000

v

UNATTEND.WXP:

For

use

with

Windows

XP

Professional

and

Windows

XP

Home

These

sample

files

require

some

modification

before

they

can

be

built

as

modules.

Information

about

modifying

these

files

is

in

Chapter

8,

“Preparing

source

files

for

modules,”

on

page

135.

After

these

files

have

been

built

as

UNATTEND.TXT

modules,

you

can

insert

them

in

your

map.

Because

these

modules

are

both

operating

system

unique

and

language

unique,

in

most

cases

you

will

probably

insert

the

appropriate

UNATTEND.TXT

module

under

the

menu

item

used

to

select

the

language

of

the

operating

system.

If

you

are

developing

images

for

multiple

customers,

the

UNATTEND.TXT

file

typically

has

customer-unique

information

such

as

the

company

name

and

the

PID

(ProductKey

or

ProductID)

associated

with

the

license.

UNATTEND.XML

module

The

UNATTEND.XML

module

contains

the

UNATTEND.XML

file

that

defines

the

values

to

be

used

during

an

unattended

installation.

The

ImageUltra

Builder

program

provides

two

sample

UNATTEND.XML

files:

v

UNATTEND.V32:

For

use

with

Windows

Vista

(32

bit)

v

UNATTEND.V64:

For

use

with

Windows

Vista

(64

bit)

These

sample

files

require

some

modification

before

they

can

be

built

as

modules.

Information

about

modifying

these

files

is

in

Chapter

10,

“Using

ImageUltra

Builder

and

Windows

Vista,”

on

page

After

these

files

have

been

built

as

UNATTEND.XML

modules,

you

can

insert

them

in

your

map.

Because

these

modules

are

both

operating

system

unique

and

language

unique,

in

most

cases

you

will

probably

insert

the

appropriate

UNATTEND.XML

module

under

the

menu

item

used

to

select

the

language

of

the

operating

system.
