I386 base operating-system module is the module type for Windows XP.
Creating a Vista-based or Windows 7-based Ultra-Portable Image
A Vista or Windows 7 base operating-system module is the central element of an Ultra-Portable Image;
however, when a Vista or Windows 7 base operating-system module is added to a base map, it must be
accompanied by the following:
• Appropriate Windows partitioning module:
– Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32 bit) Primary Partition
– Windows Vista / Windows 7 (64 bit) Primary Partition
• ImageUltra Windows Vista / Windows 7 Customizations module
• ImageUltra Windows Vista / Windows 7 Servicing Tools module
• The UNATTEND.XML module
Note: C:\SOURCES is the default Vista or Windows 7 installation path.
The Vista or Windows 7 base operating-system module contains all of the files and subfolders contained
in the C:\SOURCES folder of a Windows installation CD. These files contain the content and installation
procedures associated with installing the operating system.
You must create a Vista or Windows 7 base operating-system module for each Windows Vista or Windows 7
SKU (store-keeping unit) you want to deploy as an Ultra-Portable Image. The only operating systems that
can be deployed as Windows Vista or Windows 7 Ultra-Portable Images are:
• Windows Vista / Windows 7 Business (32 and 64 bit)
• Windows Vista / Windows 7 Ultimate (32 and 64 bit)
• Windows Vista / Windows 7 Enterprise (32 and 64 bit)
• Windows Vista / Windows 7 Home Premium (32 and 64 bit)
To build a Vista or Windows 7 base operating-system module, use the New Module Wizard to create an
operating-system module in the repository. When you have finished defining the attributes, you can select
the module from the repository and use the build tool to create the module.
If you are creating an Ultra-Portable Image using a Vista or Windows 7 base operating-system module, you
must create an UNATTEND.XML file in Windows Vista or Windows 7 to define certain user information and
control the operating-system installation. The UNATTEND.XML file is an answer file that resides in the
C:\Windows\Panther folder and contains all of the information required by the Windows setup. Although you
can use the User Information tab in the base maps to provide some of this information, it does not provide all
of the fields required for this type of installation.
For information about creating or modifying UNATTEND.XML files, use the following resource:
