I'm a big fan of everything that gets achieved here, however I was running into an issue that I think will start popping up in a few places.

 

There seems to now be 4 updates for Windows 8.1 that have LDR Updates (update-bf.mum) available; Normally LDR updates can be integrated using DISM by pointing to the extracted update-bf.mum.   However I ran into some trouble attempting to integrate these updates using Add-WindowsPackage PowerShell Module.  Considering PowerShell should provide most of the DISM functions i was curious if LDR Updates are possible with Add-WindowsPackage.  Otherwise I yet to find a powershell equivalent of a couple of other functions, but that could be a discussion for another thread.

 

I am attempting to integrate the update-bf.mum from the following KB's

KB2898847KB2898850KB2931358KB2934520

I am attempting using the following powershell scripts.

######## ------- INTEGRATE UPDATES - GDR -------- ########Get-Content $INI\$EDITION-UPDATES-GDR.INI | ForEach-Object {Invoke-Expression "Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow 'Integrating GDR Update: $_';    Add-WindowsPackage -Path $MOUNT -LogLevel Errors -LogPath $LOGS\DISM-UPDATE-GDR.LOG -ScratchDirectory $SCRATCH -NoRestart -Verbose -PackagePath $UPDATES\$_"}######## ------- INTEGRATE UPDATES - LDR - STILL BROKE -------- ########Get-Content $INI\$EDITION-UPDATES-LDR.INI | ForEach-Object {Invoke-Expression "Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow 'Integrating LDR Update: $_';    Add-WindowsPackage -Path $MOUNT -LogLevel Errors -LogPath $LOGS\DISM-UPDATE-LDR.LOG -ScratchDirectory $SCRATCH -NoRestart -Verbose -PackagePath $UPDATES\$_\UPDATE-BF.MUM"}

I get the following error:

Integrating LDR Update: KB2898847VERBOSE: Dism PowerShell Cmdlets Version 6.3.0.0VERBOSE: Target Image Version 6.3.9600.17031WARNING: Failed to add package Y:\ADK\UPDATES\WINDOWS-8.1.1-AMD64\KB2898847\UPDATE-BF.MUMWARNING: Add-WindowsPackage failed.

Looking at the log entries for these four updates, it appears that it is rejecting anything that is not a .cab or .msu file:

Any idea if its possible to integrate LDR updates with Add-WindowsPackage?

This command line still works of course:

######## ------- INTEGRATE UPDATES - LDR -------- ########Get-Content $INI\$EDITION-UPDATES-LDR.INI | ForEach-Object {Invoke-Expression "Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow 'Integrating LDR Update: $_';    DISM.EXE /$LANGUAGE /SCRATCHDIR:$SCRATCH /LOGLEVEL:1 /LOGPATH:$LOGS\DISM-UPDATE-LDR.LOG /IMAGE:$MOUNT /NORESTART /ADD-PACKAGE /PACKAGEPATH:$UPDATES\$_\UPDATE-BF.MUM"}

Thanks for listening so far, let me know if there is a method to complete this with Add-WindowsPackage

I have substituted the DISM command-line in my script in the meantime, Im using a very simple IF statement that checks for update-bf.mum.  When update-bf.mum is detected DISM is used and when its not detected it is installed from Add-WindowsPackage like a normal GDR package.

Current LDR / GDR detection and installation

######## ------- INTEGRATE UPDATES - LDR/GDR -------- ########Get-Content $INI\$EDITION-UPDATES.INI | ForEach-Object {IF (Test-Path $UPDATES\$_\UPDATE-BF.MUM)    {        Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Integrating LDR Update: $_";        DISM.EXE /$LANGUAGE /SCRATCHDIR:$SCRATCH /LOGLEVEL:1 /LOGPATH:$LOGS\DISM-UPDATE-LDR.LOG /IMAGE:$MOUNT /NORESTART /ADD-PACKAGE /PACKAGEPATH:$UPDATES\$_\UPDATE-BF.MUM    }        ELSE    {        Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Integrating GDR Update: $_";        Add-WindowsPackage -Path $MOUNT -LogLevel Errors -LogPath $LOGS\DISM-UPDATE-GDR.LOG -ScratchDirectory $SCRATCH -NoRestart -Verbose -PackagePath $UPDATES\$_    }}

I'm still looking to confirm if a 'native' Add-WindowsPackage method exists for LDR updates.  Thanks and cheers!
