    v71 McRip 7x64 Updates

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted

    It seems that McRip must have changed his files again because I show them all as needing to be downloaded again plus I am getting errors from the Additional folder.

    He should also make a change to his folder structure since the WU_Satisfy/ folder is outside the x64/ directory the WinToolKit doesn't recognize it and download the updates.

    Will integrated updates remain after additional integrations?

    Yes I do the same thing all the time

    I am contemplating doing the following:

    - integrating all my desired updates & silent installs into a "base" image

    - making multiple copies of the same image (Machine1, Machine2, etc.)

    - on each of those directories, integrating additional drivers, etc. (for use on different machines)

    Will each of the copies retain all of the updates & installs that were part of the "base" image?

    (The desired advantage being that I save 2 hours of integration time for each machine, by not having to duplicate the updates)

    I am guessing that McRip re-uploaded all the files so they now have date changes because I show all 474 files needing to be downloaded when I do an update... but v33 doesn't show all the updates as needed downloads... I actually don't even think v33 showed all the updates

    Rica... I don't want to cross post so please see my other question about CurrentControlSet and ControlSet001 with offline integrations:

    LE: KB2727118 will need a different tweak if installed on a live system


    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server]
    "LsmServiceStartTimeout"=dword:41ffffff

    Rica thanks for the info and I have a question:

    Over here http://forums.mydigi...ll=1#post618630 you stated For offline hotfix integrations, you have to change CurrentControlSet to ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 (two .reg entries) for it to work and I notice the entries above are all done that way.

    I never knew that and was always using CurrentControlSet for my reg settings... does that mean I should change them since my integrations are always offline images and rarely live systems?

    Please make a new category in Tweaks from AIO named Hotfixes, with the following entries:

    KB2727118 - link

    I also use that rule and I use another one also which makes me get rid of stuff BEFORE I move and not after ...that way I have less to move and to unpack each time I move

    That's the rule i use, if i haven't used it in a year, sell it on eBay. Using that rule i didn't have much to unpack. If after another year i haven't used it then i try selling it again on eBay or just bin it.

    Thats so LAME it barely even warrants this response!!!!!

    Uhmmm ... probably not. ;)

    Seriously, one year and you have not unpacked/cleaned up/cleaned out, you are pushing it on being a hoarder. Five years .... you went too far, you *are* a hoarder. Twelve years .... you surpassed the limit and just need to have a house fire. *BAM* problem solved.

    I had also asked the same thing and Rica gave me the following:

    You can make your own silent installer from the 4.5 .net official rtm release with the ''usual'' MS .exe switches - /quiet /norestart.

    @Simpuhl It took 16 hours for one Win 7 installation disk? I don't feel so bad now. Hardly seems worth the effort if it takes that long.

    P.S. Does anyone happen to know the silent switches that will allow .NET 4.5 to install? I tried /silent /norestart but after running my image through Virtual Box, It wasn't installed.

    Created a disc that took 16 hours and...

    My setup is similar to Marks's. I also use an SSD and a 2nd hard drive where all my updates are. I use an I5 laptop and I get more than 300 updates done in 2 hrs. The idea is to use multiple "spindles" when possible to increase the read/write throughput. In our case we are lucky to have an SSD as a "spindle" but a 10K drive must be a screamer as well.

    I have a particular set of steps I use because it allows me to experiment more and NOT have to redo everything if something goes wrong or I need to make a change.

    Start with an untouched SP1 image

    STEP 1 - I add and integrate all the hotifxes, updates and additional items (this take 2 hrs)

    STEP 2 - I add MS stuff that needs to be added through SFX along with some programs and my custom work (Takes 5 minutes)

    STEP 3 - I add all my custom driver work based from DriverPacks (I think this takes about 35 min)

    STEP 4 - Remove and Tweak settings (minutes)

    I test my first two steps in Vbox, determine if I have errors and what step they are in. I then get that perfect and do steps 3 and 4 and test on laptops. That gives me a "finished" ISO. When and if an updated step 2 item is release I just replace it in the ISO and it's done... no additional integration.

    I attached some old .ini samples but they are outdated and only as reference to help explain... I am currently working on new ones

    @compstuff

    So you recommend creating a new ISO from an untouched one containg all the post SP1 Updates along with addons?

    and @maka

    30 minutes isn't nothing! I implimented all the drivers and it took 16 hours lol! and I got a i7 3rd gen with 16gb of hyper x ram and 256 solid state drive

    Although many of us on here do lots of development and testing with the tools I also create a new integration from scratch every time. My general idea is to create a new ISO every 3 months and during the time I am using the designed ISO for installs I just update some of the SFX installers and use the KUC to make sure they are fully updated at every fresh installation. I also time my new integrations around the Major Release Patch Tuesday.

    Surely someone must be able to answer this question.Does everyone here just build a new image when there are new updates to add?
