InstallModulesAfterAdminLogin (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the InstallModulesAfterAdminLogin setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting specifies whether to install modules by using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) only after the administrator logs on to the device.

Set to true to require administrator logon; otherwise, set to false. The default value is false.

For example, when this setting is false and a custom module is installed before an administrator logs on, the module installation commands are executed in the background on the Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) logon screen. Any UI that requires user interaction is not displayed to the user and the installation will appear to hang. Set this setting to true so that installation requires administrator logon, the UI is displayed and the administrator can properly install the software.
