Example: Add OSIM OS Image Parameters

Important! Only administrators with a good understanding of .inf and default files should change parameters or add new ones.

For example, you create an OS image named myImage and you want to add parameters setting the Language variable of the regional settings in the auto answer file of the OSIM OS image, myImage.inf.

The parameter that should drive this variable is named "localeID" and its default value should be 1033.

To add a parameter to the image

1. Load …\ManagedPC\CAMENU\myImage.inf into an UTF-8 enabled editor, for example, Notepad. The CAMENU directory is in parallel to the IMAGES directory.

   Note: See createosimage -x for the exact path to the myImage directory.

2. Go to the [RegionalSettings] section in myImage.inf.
3. If there is already a value for Language, change it to the following:

   Language=$localeID$
   

   Otherwise, add this line to the section.

4. Save the file and close the editor.
5. Load …\ManagedPC\IMAGES\myImage\default.ini into a UTF-8 enabled editor, for example, Notepad.

   See createosimage -x for the exact path to myImage.

6. Go to the [Default] section, and insert the following line in this section:

   localeID=1033 
   

7. Add the following new section at the end of the file:

   [localeID]
    Type=MapListExt
    MaxLength=128
    Comment=Language/locale to be installed
    Trans=yes
    item=5124 Chinese_Macau
    item=1030 Danish
    item=1033 English US
    item=2057 English UK
    item=1036 French Standard
   

   For details about the parameters, types, and attributes, see Default.ini Parameters.

8. Save the file and close the editor.
