4.7.3 Target selection
In addition to CD/DVD/USB, you can choose to save ESET SysRescue in an ISO file. Later on, you can burn the ISO
image on CD/DVD, or use it some other way (e.g. in the virtual environment such as VMware or VirtualBox).
If you select USB as the target medium, booting may not work on certain computers. Some BIOS versions may
report problems with the BIOS - boot manager communication (e.g. on Windows Vista) and booting exits with the
following error message:
file : \boot\bcd
status : 0xc000000e
info : an error occurred while attemping to read the boot configuration data
If you encounter this message, we recommend selecting CD instead of USB medium.
4.7.4 Settings
Before initiating ESET SysRescue creation, the install wizard displays compilation parameters in the last step of the
ESET SysRescue wizard. 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 button 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 the Change button and go to the ESET Antivirus tab. Also, if
you do not fill in username and password (Change > ESET Antivirus), the Create button is greyed out.
4.7.4.1 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.
4.7.4.2 ESET Antivirus
For creating the ESET SysRescue CD, you can select 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 set. 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 text boxes will be used.
NOTE: ESET Security solution on the ESET SysRescue CD is updated either from the Internet or from the ESET
