    Sorry, but computer troubles

    KUC will create a remove_old.cmd with the correct cmd line for offline removal (if you run KUC in offline mode)

    What about LDR did you want to know?

    I am using the KUC in offline mode but never get a remove_old.cmd...get update.cmd and update_Normal.cmd but never remove.cmd. Not sure if there is a check that I am not checking to make that happen. Should me I be using the LDR feature? I have never to my knowlege installed an update in LDR mode.

    This is what I use to start KUC

    "KUC UpdateChecker.exe" /DVD-image-dir:c:\offline /up-dir:c:\wu /repo-dir:c:\wu\repo

    KUC VS Legolash2o Update Retriever?

    Also use the KUC install scritps (update.cmd), it will install the GDR branch of hotfixes that need it to satisfy WU

    I will give this a try, Thanks, ricktendo64

    EDIT: I need to read up on KUC. The update.cmd isn't doing anything. I guess I did something wrong? What I mean it gives me a message about not finding updates or something.

    Update: OK read up on some info and got it working now

    You dont want updates to show up check the satisfy WU option and use the cmd that KUC creates to install/integrate your updates

    Miss this, sorry. What does that mean if the updates don't show up. Does that mean you can't update the system with the updates or does it just hide the updates and they install automatically?

    Vista Update Pack?

    in Unattended Vista

    Posted

    Good question... I'm not sure. I know that the program you want to use to install the updates is "pkgmgr". I don't know and haven't experimented with installing the CAB files on a Vista install before. Maybe cabbing the CAB file might work? I know that sounds stupid, but I just don't know....

    I'll move it for ya....

    Thanks so much, dougiefresh!

    Also, the request only updates will not be listed on MU/WU. Bad, because there is obviously a lag from when something is released by MS and it is verified and added to the database and/or KUC. I think this is "the reason the newest updates from the last month or so is still showing up in MSU". He is only one guy after all. Another problem is that he could decide to take a break, such as SoLoR has done. That's why it's also good that McRip is doing his thing independently, but he is also only one guy. Leoglash20 is also only one guy. All of these guys need and deserve all the help and support we all can give them if we hope to continue to be able to utilize their services.

    I understand and know its allot of work. Not complaining at all (not that you said I was) was just wondering how KUC finds the newest updates. I have the highest respect for all the guys that make us the tools to make our life easier. I am just really digging the Update Retriever tool! :prop:

    KUC VS Legolash2o Update Retriever?

    Thanks guys for all the info. So many tricks out now for Windows 7 and 8 already that I have only began to scratch the surface. The KUC thing seems to have been out for awhile but I am just learning of it from a another post by ricktendo64.

    ricktendo64, does the person who develop KUC, I guess Komm. Does the updates this tool downloads come from a server on his end or from windows updates? Would that be the reason the newest updates from the last month or so is still showing up in MSU?

    The reason why KUC has so many more updates is that all updates are included even if your computer may not need it in its current form. For instance, there are twelve updates for IIS. By default, that does not come installed on most systems. Only if you *specifically* select it to install will you get IIS. KUC includes *all* updates regardless of the option is installed. If you had no options installed (you removed all) before going to windows update, then you would get less updates with all options installed from a freshly installed non-updated source. Likely, those updates also have the non-common updates you would not normally get unless you had a certain problem.

    Makes sense to me crashfly, just the 127 updates slipstream a ton faster and my time on the weekends is limited but I didn't want to use 127 vs 350 plus if it was going to damage the OS or starting acting up down the road. I don't mind a few updates showing up in MSU. Just not sure how KUC keeps the updates up. Manually or by Windows Update?

    If you want to read the whole story and history, and have a lot of time on your hands, Google "SoLoR McRip Komm", without the quotes ("), and you should find a link to a thread on another forum that has had an extremely active discussion going on for well over 2 years with over 6326 posts in that one thread. burfadell is another active contributor there of Win 7 update scripts and tools. If you go there I'm sure you will see many familiar names.

    Hopefully this explains the "Why?" you asked, laddanator

    Thanks, .bphlpt. I will read up on some of this. Your have been helpful as usual!

    I have been doing this the "hard way" since Vista and 7 came out. I have 300 plus updates that I downloaded one by one from MSUC over the years and have always slipstream 300 plus. KUC only showed I was missing 7 updates when it scan my years of downloads. I always had to write down which one that new updat supersede and it took me a week! So glad to see this KUC and Update Retriever!!

    So glad to have a helpful bunch of smart folks to get answers from too! Thanks again!

    KUC VS Legolash2o Update Retriever?

    in Win Toolkit

    Used KUC today for the first time and when I mounted an untouched Win 7 x86 source to the offline folder and started up KUC, it found 357 updates so I used the DISM script KUC generated and slipstream the updates into the Offline source and did a test load on my Asus machine and 15 Updates appeared still in MSU. I then did a test load with a untouched source with NO updates as in untouched and ran Legolash2o Update Retriever in the Win ToolKit and it found 127 updates so I downloaded and slipstream the 127 updates and did another test load and there was only 4 updates in MSU which is OK but my question is why would KUC find 357 plus updates and Update Retriever find 127? Why would you use 357 updates that take awhile to slipstream compared to 127 and shorter slipstream times with lesser Updates in MSU?

    Question About Legolash2o Win 7 ISO

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted · Edited by laddanator

    I downloaded the "newer Win 7 iso" from the download tab on the WinToolKit (with this update KB2534111) and I thought it was suppose to be newer but the modified date when choosing which Version you want to load says 4-20-10 (I think its 20 but know its 4 and 10 just not sure about the 20) but the ISO I got when I built my new system a few months ago says modified 11-20-10. How did mine get a newer modified date than the one in Legolash2o links?

    Link here and says updated Jul 2012?

    This will let you have you Windows installed unattended. It's not the most complete unattended out there but it's better than nothing.

    Luckily most of this is self-explanatory, note it is recommended to leave 'Architecture' set to 'AnyCPU' which means it should work for both x64 and x86 installs.

    Where is the section to set to AnyCPU?

    Do you mean all entried that look like this

    component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86"

    Should look like this

    component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="AnyCPU"

    Vista Updates

    Very interesting topic as I'm just about to update my Vista offline install disk. Out of interest, where did you get all your Vista updates from?

    Here is one place

    http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/9521-dougiefreshs-vista-sp2-update-pack-x86-august-29-2012/

    Also if you load Vista go to updates and install all your updates and then reboot, WinToolKit has an option under tools tab to check your system for installed updates and it will download them for you to a folder of your choice. One of my favorite tools on the Wintoolkit! :)

    Used all cab files 100 plus Vista updates. Uncheck the update checker tab in the options menu and all imported and add all updates to 4 images with all green lights, just installed Vista to my test machine with only 6 updates in MSU.

    Sorry if I missed something but I am using the latest Wintoolkit and works like a charm on Win7 stuff. I am using it to intergrate updates into an offline Vista image from a Win7 machine and instead all green when a update is slipstream, I am getting all pink. Am I not doing something right? Should I do this under a running Vista machine?

    Vista Update Pack?

    Is there anyone or anywhere I can download all the newest Vista updates in one place. Trying to download the updates from Update Catalog one by one is getting old. :) I know Vista sucks but we still get people who come in and want their Vista machine worked on.
