5.7.4 Settings
Before initiating ESET SysRescue creation, the install wizard displays compilation parameters. These can be modified by
clicking the Change... button. The available options include:
Folders
ESET Antivirus
Advanced
Internet protocol
Bootable USB device (when the target USB device is selected)
Burning (when the target CD/DVD drive is selected)
The Create option is inactive if no MSI installation package is specified, or if no ESET Security solution is installed on the
computer. To select an installation package, click Change and click the ESET Antivirus tab. Also, if you do not fill in
username and password (Change > ESET Antivirus), the Create option is greyed out.
5.7.4.1 Folders
Temporary folder is a working directory for files required during ESET SysRescue compilation.
ISO folder is a folder, where the resulting ISO file is saved after the compilation is completed.
The list on this tab shows all local and mapped network drives together with the available free space. If some of the
folders here are located on a drive with insufficient free space, we recommend that you select another drive with more
free space available. Otherwise compilation may end prematurely due to insufficient free disk space.
External applications – Allows you to specify additional programs that will be run or installed after booting from a
ESET SysRescue medium.
Include external applications – Allows you to add external programs to the ESET SysRescue compilation.
Selected folder – Folder in which programs to be added to the ESET SysRescue disk are located.
5.7.4.2 ESET Antivirus
For creating the ESET SysRescue CD, you can select between two sources of ESET files to be used by the compiler:
ESS/EAV folder – Files already contained in the folder to which the ESET Security solution is installed on the computer.
MSI file – Files contained in the MSI installer are used.
Next, you can choose to update the location of (.nup) files. Normally, the default option ESS/EAV folder/MSI file
should be selected. In some cases, a custom Update folder can be chosen, e.g., to use an older or newer virus
signature database version.
You can use one of the following two sources of username and password:
Installed ESS/EAV – Username and password will be copied from the currently installed ESET Security solution.
From user – Username and password entered in the corresponding fields will be used.
NOTE: ESET Security solution on the ESET SysRescue CD is updated either from the Internet or from the ESET Security
solution installed on the computer on which the ESET SysRescue CD is run.
5.7.4.3 Advanced settings
The Advanced tab lets you optimize the ESET SysRescue CD according to the amount of memory on your computer.
Select 576 MB and more to write the content of the CD to the operating memory (RAM). If you select less than 576 MB
, the recovery CD will be permanently accessed when WinPE will be running.
In the External drivers section, you can insert drivers for your specific hardware (usually network adapter). Although
WinPE is based on Windows Vista SP1, which supports a wide range of hardware, occasionally hardware is not
recognized. This will require you to add a driver manually. There are two ways of introducing a driver into an ESET
SysRescue compilation: manually (click Add) and automatically (click Aut. Search). In the case of manual introduction,
you need to select the path to the corresponding .inf file (applicable *.sys file must also be present in this folder). In the
case of automatic introduction, the driver is found automatically in the operating system of the given computer. We
recommend using automatic introduction only if ESET SysRescue is used on a computer that has the same network
adapter as the computer on which the ESET SysRescue CD was created. During creation, the ESET SysRescue driver is
