DISCUSSION: Windows 8.1 Spring 2014 Update RTM

You will get the Spring update automatically through Windows Update on April 8th.

 

Yep, after some testing it seems to be the big 355 KB, after integrating you'll get the pending error . For that reason i did completely in Audit Mode . Interestingly no problems to integrate into boot.wim and wimre.wim.

 

355 KB is not big at all, but 355 MB is.

 

Is this pending error by design?

 

Wasn't talking about the size, but about windows8.1-kb2919355-x64.msu .

Not sure, normally this updates needs reboot to implement all changes properly. Apparently you can't do that for the mounted WIM . Searching for a solution likewise.

 

If I use /PreventPending option would this stop offline package install?

 

When testing with this command the Image version showed still 16384 after integrating windows8.1-kb2919355-x64.msu, instead of 17031, what is shown when doing without /PreventPending.

There is also:

Code:

DISM.exe /Image:C:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions 

But with that warning:

Code:

WARNING! You should use the /RevertPendingActions option only in a 

 system-recovery scenario to perform recovery operations on a Windows image that 
 did not boot. 

It will also set the Image back to 16384 .

 

Could try to change Pending xml in winsxs offline.

 

Not tomorrow but later

 

Why not tomorrow?

 

because average Joe gets it later, that easy

 

Update Package will be released first. ISOs next.

 

Do I really have to explain this again
OEMs got the update packages first and the ISOs later, the document where you got that doesn't apply to MSDN or GA!!!

 

Do you know when exactly ?

 

i'm not talking about OEMs, LOL. You will see tomorrow

 

Do you know something more or you just wasting our time with your puzzle ?

 

oh, there is no puzzle: //build/ is known about new versions to issue just because of the event. New files are expected latest by tomorrow April 2nd on some channels

 

Well see tomorrow...

 

Yup, that's exactly what I meant
