When building a module for a PowerQuest image, use a batch file and use the
batch file name as the Silent Install command in the Source tab of the Operating
System window. For example, use PQIMAGE.BAT as the Silent Install command.

Inside the PQIMAGE.BAT file, you must use the following line:
pqideploy.exe/cmd=restore.scp /I24 /NRB

/img=image.pqi

where restore.scp is the script shown earlier and image.pqi is the name of the image
that you want to restore. The /NRB parameter instructs the PQDI.EXE program
not to reboot the computer so the ImageUltra Builder installation program can
regain control after the PowerQuest image has been installed.

Before you build the module, you must put the image files, the script file, and the
batch file in the same folder.

For additional information about developing PowerQuest DeployCenter scripts,
refer to your PowerQuest DeployCenter documentation.

Customization Program on a CD, shared drive, or any other media to which the
ImageUltra console has direct-write access.

repository.

Note:

If you cannot remember the path to your repository, in the ImageUltra
Builder Main window, click File and then click Open repository.... The
repository paths will be listed. You can use any repository.

2.

Copy the IUBCP.EXE program to a CD or to a shared drive that the source
computer can access during the development of the image. If you use a CD,
label the CD “ImageUltra Customization Program.”

Do one of the following:

v
