9.4.2 Create and use a save-image script

1. Create a configuration and saving script C:\temp\save-config.lisp , containing:

(load-all-patches)

(load "C:/temp/my-configuration.lisp")

(save-image "my-lispworks")

2. Change directory to the LispWorks installation directory, for example:
C: cd C:\Program Files\LispWorks
3. Start the supplied image using the configuration script as the build file. For example:

If the image will not run at this stage, it is probably not finding a valid key.

Saving the image takes some time.

You can now use the new my-lispworks.exe image from the Windows Explorer, or you may choose to add a shortcut. The supplied image is not required after the configuration process has been successfully completed.

Do not try to save a new image over an image that is currently running. Instead, save an image under a unique name, and then, if necessary, replace the new image with the old one after the call to save-image has returned.
