The ImageUltra Builder program enables you to predefine default settings, or
prompt the person performing the installation for specific user information near
the beginning of the installation process, or both. Thus, this feature can help
minimize the amount of time that an installer needs to be present at the target
computer during the installation process.
Note: To minimize the amount of time that an installer needs to be present, you
must predefine or establish prompts for all user-information settings. The
ImageUltra Builder program prompts for user information very early in the
installation phase, therefore if all required settings are preset or defined as
prompts, all required setup information will be obtained early and the
person controlling the installation will not have to be present later in the
installation process when Windows setup (or mini setup) normally prompts
for this information.
You also can define your own settings and prompts for other purposes. For
example, you can prompt the installer for the office number where the computer is
being installed and the telephone number for the user. Then, you can run your
own software anytime after the installation is complete to collect the office number,
telephone number, and user’s full name to create or append a company phone
book.
User information is implemented in base maps on a map-by-map basis. All
predefined user information and installer-provided user information is gathered
during the installation process and stored in a file called PERSONAL.INI located in
the root folder of the target computer.
To implement user information, do the following:
1.
Open the Base Map window.
2. Click the root entry or any menu item in the tree structure.
3. In the Main window menu bar, click Tools, and then click Settings.... The Map
Settings window opens.
4. Click the User Information tab.
5. Click the Add User Information icon located in the User Information tab, and
fill in the appropriate fields. You can use the Information field drop-down
menu to work with the typical user settings required by Windows, or type your
own setting name in the Information field and define default values and
prompts.
6. Click OK.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each setting. When all settings have been defined,
continue with the next step.
8. Click OK.
9. Click the Save icon located in the Main window toolbar.
