(beats head)
He wanted to create a weapon to destroy Carthage, so first he creates the housing, a control system that can't be hacked (Lyoko), and then comes up with a user interface (himself) - for this to work he needs to be virtualised, so he builds the scanners, though they were probably designed by him under Carthage for other reasons (transportation, weapon duplication etc).
With all this in place Franz then finally creates his weapon, XANA.
