Thanks

unfortunately, i get Error on Update Cleanup after Scan

 

Edit:

it caused by a pending update, all good after restart

Found something really cool, especially for Windows 7 that lacks the "ResetBase".

I gained back 2,5 GB from a fresh install with it.

For me it just removes \Backup and \ManifestCache contents  :g: 

 

----

the best experience W7's winsxs is to keep the higher version component + RTM version (6.1.7600.16385 and 6.1.7601.17514)

and remove the inbetween

Hotfix rollups are not offered through WU, they are found using there KB articles

and those rollups are cumularive updates, meaning they already contain and supersede earlier updates and some "not yet published" security updates

 

 

as for KB3063911, it is the name that appear when you check installed programs

but the rollup is released under KB3064711

Updated

 

however, i didn't have the time to test and verify it

;1[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"NavPaneShowAllFolders"=dword:00000001;2[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"HideDrivesWithNoMedia"=dword:00000000;3[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]"FullPath"=dword:00000001"Settings"=hex:0C,00,02,00,0B,01,00,00,60,00,00,00

as for 4, there is no generic or simple setting

each folder type has different values, each view type has different values as well

Data base for all updates released through WU

 

i don't there is an easy way to read its conents, it's really messy

KB3068708 still in Download Center

 

Edit:  Both are back on, same version

Yes, despite the supersedence, WU still asks for KB2533552 (as SP1 KB976932)

 

i was only refering to the condition of the update itself

 

amd we already know and experienced that WU request superseded updates sometimes

After windows installed in VMware, I check "Installed updates" and I couldn't find KB2533552 .....I tried to install this update manually and it says "The update is not applicable to your computer" , weird?

No, it's not weird

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3057448

"The update is not applicable to your computer" error when you install Windows updates

Cause number 1: Update is superseded

KB3020369 fully and directly supersede KB2533552

thus, if KB3020369 is installed, KB2533552 cann't be installed using the .msu file

the workaround (that even WU use) is to use the inside .cab file to integrate the update online by dism tool:

dism /online /add-package:Windows6.1-KB2533552-x64.cab

I think he means:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb

Yes, possible

 

but not tested, so i don't guarantee it works

Did you use latest addon? both updates should not be shown if so

 

msp are like msi, cann't be integrated offline

BTW, KB3022345 had been killed and not available for download

Or you can add registry value to disable it

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx]"DisableGwx"=dword:00000001

via admin cmd:

reg add HKLM\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx /v DisableGwx /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Actually, the two updates are indeed an MSP files and should accept converting from exe to msp

I really don't know what it depends on, but it's more related to the serviced image not the Host OS

i guess on the size of updates and how many are already in the image, how many is pending

but in my experience, after +100 update or so, the dism command will be become slower and slower in adding the packages

 

the command is the same for dism /add-package, each update need its /packagepath: parameter

 

of course using this grouping will recuire some batch scripting

and using the inner .cab files is much better and faster in integrating

 

the main script that i learned that concept from is Installer For Windows Updates V28 by Burf

however it's intended for Online operation and contains various checks

there is a reduced version i modded without most checks and for offline integrating: InstallerV27z.zip

Integrating updates one by one will always take more time than grouping updates in one dism session

of course not all updates, each session can handle 120 ~ 150 update

The two new security updates KB3023224 and KB3035490 are already included in the rollup

Regarding KB3021952:

The 5.2/3.0 MB is KB3023607, it's bundled with both updates

same status as last month

Updated with new rollup

 

already include security update KB3037581

Hopefully, abbodi1406 will respond and confirm whether I interpreted his instructions correctly.

Cheers and Regards

Sorry for being late

i honestly tested only one image (HomeBasic) and can confirm it works

so, the first group of your code is correct and should work

imagex /mountrw install.wim 1 c:\mountDISM /Image:c:\mount /Set-Edition:HomeBasicimagex /commit /append c:\mount HomeBasicimagex /unmount c:\mountimagex /flags "HomeBasic" /info install.wim 2 "HomeBasic" "HomeBasic"imagex /mountrw install.wim 1 c:\mountDISM /Image:c:\mount /Set-Edition:HomePremiumimagex /commit /append c:\mount HomePremiumimagex /unmount c:\mountimagex /flags "HomePremium" /info install.wim 3 "HomePremium" "HomePremium"imagex /mountrw install.wim 1 c:\mountDISM /Image:c:\mount /Set-Edition:Professionalimagex /commit /append c:\mount Professionalimagex /unmount c:\mountimagex /flags "Professional" /info install.wim 4 "Professional" "Professional"imagex /mountrw install.wim 1 c:\mountDISM /Image:c:\mount /Set-Edition:Ultimateimagex /commit /append c:\mount Ultimateimagex /unmount c:\mountimagex /flags "Ultimate" /info install.wim 5 "Ultimate" "Ultimate"

however, the second group won't work, because the mounted image c:\mount already upgraded once, and upgrading an upgraded edition will mostly cause errors in the image

You know, imagex has a nice feature that makes the process much easier: APPEND

IMAGEX [FLAGS] /COMMIT mount_path ["image_name"]Commits the changes made to a mounted image without unmounting the image.  mount_path - The path of the mounted image to commit.  image_name - If the /append flag is set, then a unique image name must be provided.Accepted FLAGS:  /APPEND  Captures the changes made to the wim into a new image in the wim.  /TEMP  Specifies the path where temporary files are stored.Example:  imagex /commit c:\mounted_images  imagex /commit /append c:\mounted_images new_image_name

so instead of copied/duplicating wim files and then re-merging, one could do it with one file:

imagex /mountrw install.wim 1 c:\mountDISM /Image:c:\mount /Set-Edition:HomeBasicimagex /commit /append c:\mount HomeBasicimagex /unmount c:\mount

and repeat the process for other editions

afterwards, change the images' description and edition flag

imagex /flags "HomeBasic" /info install.wim 2 "HomeBasic" "HomeBasic"

Hi,

 

another issue I have:

 

because of the problems with some update from last patch-day I integrate now using rhahgleuhargh's UL from february 24-02-2015, adding the working updates and KB3000483.

 

Testing with only updates from the list (with RDP 8.1 and IE11), for x86 updates from patch-day march are requested by WU, of course .

For x64 WU is asking not only for updates from patch-day march, it request KB2834140 (IE prerequisite, 811KB) too, even if this KB is in the UL and is shown as installed in the list of installed updates and I don't find the reason why!

It's not depending from OS-language.

 

Did anyone experience the same issue?

 

TNX, Thiersee

KB2834140 is a bi-update, it can be installed (offered) with/without platform update KB2670838

so if you installed it before KB2670838, you have to install it afterwards too

2) Complete install as point 1) plus addon, silent, and so on

  2.1) Deep clean removed same updates as point 1.1) plus KB3006625

Installing WMF4.0 KB2819745 (or WMF3.0) will make KB3006625 superseded, thus removed
