Preparing source files for utility modules files
The use of utilities is optional. Utilities are Win32-based EXE, BAT, or COM programs that run during the
installation process. For example, an installer might want to run CHKDSK to determine the condition or
size of a hard disk before any files get installed.
Utilities reside in the staging area (service partition or network-staging folder) and do not get installed on an
active partition. Little preparation is required for the source files. The following are the only requirements:
• The utility must be in a ready-to-run format. It cannot require an installation process.
• The utility must be placed in a dedicated folder on a drive that is accessible by the ImageUltra Builder
console.
• The utility folder structure must be maintained.
When the source files meet these requirements, you can set the attributes for the new utility.
Setting the attributes for a new utility module
The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new device-driver module without using
an existing module as a template. If you want to set the attributes for a new module to match the attributes
of an existing module, see “Setting the attributes based on an existing utility module” on page 146.
1. Open the repository where you want the new utility module to reside.
2. If your repository has folders, navigate to the folder where you want the Utility module to reside.
