@Cali4niaWK What @xinso suggested is commonly referred to as frankenbuilding. Due to the internal structure of Windows product policies and kernel security implementations, such modifications will eventually lead to a broken feature state in the long run - especially if you don't know what you are doing. This is why frankenbuilding is not exactly encouraged here, but if you are determined to get your hands dirty, then kindly proceed to the relevant thread instead of a build and/or SKU-specific regular discussion thread.
Hello Everybody. I apologize for the inconvenience, I just don't know who but you guys to turn to for help. I am having trouble getting W10UI to work. It is W10UI_10.49. I am using W10 Win10 19044.1288 LTSC 21H2 MSDN ISO under VMWare Workstation Pro 15.5.7. WHDownloader_0.0.2.4 successfully downloaded the updates. Error message W10UI: Error: Specified location is not valid Contents of W10UI directory: Drivers[Folder] Updates[Folder] dir.txt error.txt log.txt readme.txt Updates W10UI-ReadMe.txt W10UI.cmd W10UI.cmd.ORG W10UI.ini W10UI.ini.ORG WHDownloader.ex Installing W10UI using FAR 3.0 6161.0 x64 start under Administrators Group account. Any help please?
Put the W10UI.cmd in the WHD folder and extract the source ISO to a folder and set the cmd to target the full path to the extracted ISO and to the folder containing the updates, like i did in my test below: Code: ====================== W10UI v10.49 ======================= [1] Target (x64): "f:\WHDownloader_0.0.2.4\en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96" [2] Updates: "f:\WHDownloader_0.0.2.4\Updates\Windows10-x64\General\19041" [3] DISM: "Windows NT 10.0 ADK" [4] Enable .NET 3.5: YES [5] Cleanup System Image: YES [6] Reset Image Base: YES [7] Update WinRE.wim: YES [8] install.wim selected indexes: 1 / [K] Keep indexes: Selected [M] Mount Directory: "F:\W10UImount_31831" [E] Extraction Directory: "F:\W10UItemp_7311" ============================================================ Change a menu option, press 0 to start the process, or 9 to exit: Code: ============================================================ Running W10UI v10.49 ============================================================ ============================================================ Configured Options... ============================================================ Net35 Cleanup ResetBase WinRE ISO ============================================================ Extracting .cab files from .msu files... ============================================================ 1/3: Windows10.0-KB5031539-x64.msu 2/3: Windows10.0-KB5049613-x64-NDP48.msu 3/3: Windows10.0-KB5049981-x64.msu ============================================================ Extracting files from update containers (cab/wim)... *** This will require some disk space, please be patient *** ============================================================ 1/4: Windows10.0-KB5007401-x64.cab 2/4: Windows10.0-KB5031539-x64.cab [SSU] 3/4: Windows10.0-KB5049613-x64-NDP48.cab [NetFx] 4/4: Windows10.0-KB5049981-x64.cab [Combined] 5/6: Windows10.0-KB5049981-x64_inout.cab [LCU] 6/6: Windows10.0-KB5050388-x64_inout.cab [SSU] ============================================================ Mounting sources\install.wim - index 1/2 ============================================================ Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.26100.1 Mounting image [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully. ============================================================ Checking Updates... ============================================================ ============================================================ Installing servicing stack update... ============================================================ Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.26100.1 Image Version: 10.0.19044.1288 Processing 1 of 1 - Adding package Package_for_ServicingStack_5363~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~19041.5363.1.1 [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully. ============================================================ Installing updates... ============================================================ Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.26100.1 Image Version: 10.0.19044.1288 Processing 1 of 2 - Adding package Package_for_KB5007401~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~19041.1378.1.1 [==========================100.0%==========================] Processing 2 of 2 - Adding package Package_for_DotNetRollup~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.4775.1 [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully.

For me this a very overcomplicated method (for <Win 19 it is fine). I use the shown W10UI,cmd method shown here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1571109 For WHD help you can ask here: WHDownloader - Support and chat
I'm so sorry maybe I didn't explain enough clear but my goal is simply to install updates into live W10 running in vmware workstation environment. I did similar task with W7 and the same tool for it - no any problem.
Updated: I don't have any trouble with WHDownloader. Problem is: W10UI doesn't see WHDownloader's Updates folder inserted into W10UI folder.
for online intgegration WHD is just the tool to download the updates, just make sure you either adjust the path to the downloaded updates in the W10UI ini files or directly in the W10UI.cmd file or copy the updates from the WHD download folder and put them next to the W1UI.cmd and.... run W10UI.cmd.
I did it. Exactly as you described. A lot of times. I put string set "Repo=Updates" in W10UI.cmd. I put srting Repo =Updates in W10UI.ini. Error message W10UI: Error: Specified location is not valid
Specify the full path to the updates in detail (full path) in the cmd or ini file or in the user interface or copy the updates and paste them next to the W10UI.cmd. Did you watch the instructions and video in the mentioned thread?
I did this too. Updates folder of WHDownload has two or three nested levels of subfolders and these ones depends of version of W10. There are about three of them. One is 19044. I don't remember names of it and I don't have the access od VMWare now. I have the log of running W10UI. maybe it can help. But I still can't have access. abbodi1406 is the great profi and I can't find the point of error in it. Maybe you let me speak with you if you are not tired of me please...
With your consent, I'd like to seek the help of abbodi1406. This would be a secondary opinion. Thank you for your time.
Code: [W10UI-Configuration] Target = Repo =full path to the folder containing the updates DismRoot =dism.exe Net35 =0 Net35Source = Cleanup =0 ResetBase =0 LCUwinre =0 WinRE =0 LCUmsuExpand =0 UpdtBootFiles =0 SkipEdge =0 SkipWebView =0 UseWimlib =0 WimCreateTime =0 _CabDir =W10UItemp MountDir =W10UImount WinreMount =W10UImountre wim2esd =0 wim2swm =0 ISO =0 ISODir = Delete_Source =0 AutoStart =0 AddDrivers =0 Drv_Source =\Drivers Or simply copy the updates and put them next to the W10UI.cmd

Which updates I should put into from which sub-folder?
why not jus put these updates (from the downloads folder) next to the W10UI.cmd file and run the cmd. Code: W10UI.cmd Windows10.0-KB5007401-x64.cab Windows10.0-KB5031539-x64.msu Windows10.0-KB5049613-x64-NDP48.msu Windows10.0-KB5049981-x64.msu Ps, Windows 10/11 is not the same as windows 7. Code: WHD7UI = Install or integrate Windows 7 updates for WHDownloader repository It's prepared for use with WHD, W10UI.cmd is standalone online/offline updates integration script.
