Create an Image for One Operating System

2. In the Image file field, type the name of the file in which to save the new image. You can specify any name that is permitted by your operating system. Do not specify an extension; the installer will automatically add .zip.

By default, the installer will write the new image file to the directory it indicates when you click OK. If you want to write the file to a different directory, include the full path to the file in the Image file field. The directory to which you save the file must already exist.

3. In the Image platform field, click the system for which to create the image. You can create an image for any system from any system.

4. Click OK and go to Use a Proxy Server to Install. You will see all panels described in that section and the following sections except the installation directory panel and the product configuration panels; you will see those panels when you install from the image.

Important:

When you select products to download into an image, the installer lists additional products that are required by the selected products. If these required products do not already exist in the target installation directories, you must include them in the image. If you do not, you will not be able to install the selected products, and in some cases installation will fail. This includes the Java package; if the Java package does not exist in the target installation directories, you must include it in the image. The installer includes the license agreement in every image.
