    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 :D

    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

    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

    I agree with your seggustion abbodi , the wimlib is much faster than the dism , but is that will make any limitaion to WTK ,  

    an other thing this mean re coding the hole WTK to be suiteable with wimlib

    I ment to ask him about wimgapi issue, not to use wimlib instead :)

    prices looks OK to me.

    test5:
     
    CopyFolder now copy what inside the folder to destination, not the folder itself
    i.e.

    [CopyFolder]ASP.NET::Windows\inf

    ASP.NET contents are copied directly to Windows\inf, not the whole ASP.NET folder

     

    CopyFile works as expected

     

    i loved the detailed process percentage :')

    Addon Makers : PLEASE READ

    The ability to copy files/folders to the WinSxS directory (as example) would be nice :)
    it's extra protected by TrustedInstaller as you know (implementing this would help)
     
    moreover, applying a wim file to the mounted image
    because wim preserve NT Security ACLs, and eliminates the need for extra privileges to add files to the protected directories
    using the current feature leads to error in mounting registry, i. e.

    [RUNCMD]dism.exe|/Apply-Image /ImageFile:VCredist.wim /Index:1 /ApplyDir:%WIM%

    this new feature if possible will help making correct complete addon for the vcredist 2005/2008 (which adds files to winsxs)
    it also will make it possible to create offline addon for Windows7's KB2533552 :D
