    All the thanks and credit goes to nononsence...well just because of him we now have a complete OEM DVD but the difference is that we don't have the unnecessary garbage associated with them..:)

    Hey dude, not to sound like a critic but I think you should change every line in GRLDR with this instance

    Code:
    find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /bootmgr
    
    WITH:
    
    find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /win7ldr
    Hazar told me to do the same thing with my project because how it is by default does not work correcly if you have a Dual-Boot System. He told me that if you add win7ldr instead of bootmgr it will work with Dual-Boot systems. This is just a suggestion though.

    its only an issue if you have multiple active partitions with bootmgr installed on
    both and you have to work to make that happen, I may change it if someone
    has a problem but until then it stays the way it is.

    ok dude, oh well, if it works just fine for everyone then why fix it. I just wanted to note that because I changed it in my version.

    Hi nononsence
    I saw that you added to the script the check for subfolder under the xxx_updates folders and I thankyou for that,
    even if with the actual used version of WUD it can't be used, cause there's no way to batch-d/l updates that are not in
    the first TWO categories uf the ULZ.UL file (so... only x86 and x64 will work)

    There's a question i'd like to ask about the script... why it's now different between x86 and x64 updates ?
    Code:
    :x64_updates
    IF EXIST "%~dp0x64_updates" (
    DIR /B "%~dp0x64_updates" | FINDSTR /R ".*" >nul
    IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 (
    DISM.exe /image:"%TEMP%\MOUNT" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%~dp0x64_updates"
       FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B /A:D "%~dp0x64_updates"') DO (
          DISM.exe /image:"%TEMP%\MOUNT" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%~dp0x64_updates\%%A"
    )
    )
    )
    GOTO :eof
    
    :x86_updates
    IF EXIST "%~dp0x86_updates" (
    
    IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 (
    DISM.exe /image:"%TEMP%\MOUNT" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%~dp0x86_updates"
       FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B /A:D "%~dp0x86_updates"') DO (
          DISM.exe /image:"%TEMP%\MOUNT" /Add-Package /PackagePath:"%~dp0x86_updates\%%A"
    )
       )
    )
    GOTO :eof
    
    
    It can be, maybe, just for my "need of knowledge", but ... what's the use for that line ?
    In the kit 2.6.7 you put it in the x86 section too... so... is it just useless, is it a simple "copy/paste" error, or there's
    a meaning to have it in this way ?

    Thanks again for you're doing
    Clay

    It check's if there is anything in the updates directory, someone complained
    about "file not found" output.

    looks like the line is missing in the x86_updates function so Ill post an update
    later today, I added custom theme install.

    Hmm, everything works just fine except the updates.
    I use untouched .iso's, downloaded x86 and x64 updates using updates_x64.bat and updates_x86.bat, they went directly into x64_updates and x64_updates folders...ran it Make_AIO_DVD.cmd, all good, no errors, installed it in VMware and.... but they still show up on WU site.
    Just wondering what am I doing wrong :( (could be an "operator error" :D)

    Other then that, it is an awesome tool, Thanks :cool:

    the update downloader only downloads files listed in the config file
    ULZ.ul and this is maintained by someone else. so there will be some
    updates on WU. If the updates did get installed into the DVD then you
    can check with the view installed updates link in the control panel, if
    there ar not any installed updates this could be caused by some code
    that got deleted when I added sub directory support to the updates
    folder, it got fixed today.

    It will add the same logos as the slic in your bios, so if you have dell slic it would add dell logos.

    i don`t like copying files to my hdd and delete them after all is done.
    i decided to install all my updates an applications direct from dvd.

    1. put a file called cd.txt into the root of your dvd
    2. create a folder install in root of your dvd (stores all your apps and updates)
    3. in folder extras add following to your *.cmd

    FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

    REM *******************************************************
    REM 7zip
    REM *******************************************************

    IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==AMD64 (

    msiexec /i %cdrom%\install\7z465-x64.msi /qn

    ) ELSE (

    msiexec /i %cdrom%\install\7z465.msi /qn

    )
