Notes:

1.

The Install slot setting in an I386, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 base
operating-system module is not used.

2.

For ImageUltra Builder 5.0, the following limitations apply:

You can use install slots 1 through 9 for add-on operating-system

modules, application modules, and some device-driver modules regardless
of the type of image you are installing.

Slots 10 through 9999 are valid for use with add-on operating-system

modules, application modules, and some device-driver modules only if
those modules are being installed as part of an Ultra-Portable Image based on an
I386, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 base operating-system module.
If you
attempt to assign slots 10 through 9999 to a module that is to be installed
as part of a Portable-SysPrep Image, Hardware-Specific Image, or an
Ultra-Portable Image based on an imported ImageUltra-developed base
operating-system module, the slot setting will be ignored.

Modifying the install order within a base map:

The Install Sequence window

enables you to modify the following:
– The order in which modules that share an install slot are installed during the

first customer boot

– The order in which base operating-system modules and partitioning modules

are installed relative to other base operating-system modules and partitioning
modules contained in the map.

– The order in which modules are installed in the service partition.

The installation-order process

The process for changing the module-installation order depends on the type of
modules you need to control:

v

If you are working with an I386, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 base
operating-system modules, the installation-order process does not apply because
I386, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 base operating-system modules do not go
through a formal installation process. However, the installation order for other
modules contained in the same map as an I386, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
base operating-system module can be changed.

v

If you are working with add-on operating-system modules, application modules,
or device driver modules, see “Add-on operating-system modules, application
modules, and device-driver modules.”

v

If you are working in a map that contains both base operating-system modules
and partitioning modules, see “Partitioning modules” on page 171.

Add-on operating-system modules, application modules, and
device-driver modules

If you are working with add-on operating-system modules, application modules,
or device-driver modules that get installed from a base map, there are three
primary steps to determine the entire order of installation:
1.

Modify the install hook to establish the boot cycle. (See “Modifying the install
hook” on page 171
for more information.)

2.

Modify the install slot to establish the installation order within the boot cycle
defined by the install hook. (See “Modifying the install slot” on page 172 for
more information.)

3.

Modify the install sequence in the Map Settings window to fine tune the
installation order within an install slot for modules that are installed during the
