    It's good now to install the win8.1 spring update ? or wait to march rollup update and then install the spring update ?

    1) No

    2) Both are correct, the two more are additional Supplement Updates, maybe wzor didn't get them yet

    Just checked and the direct download link for KB2919355 (x64) doesn't work anymore, seems like MS removed it. Everything else is still available.

    I downloaded one of the packages but it has 2 updates not listed - kb2938439 and kb2939087 . What are they? Do I install them before or after the official order?

    Why is it that the 17031 update is smaller in size than 17025? Does it have fewer fixes?

    I was a member of the Windows Beta program back when it was private...
    In the past MS have distributed beta updates like this... I honestly cant remember which particular beta program it was, but you could download a .reg which would allow the in place Windows Update see beta bits... I distinctly remember having to do that. Maybe it was SP1 for Vista or something, cant remember the details.
    Just sayin :)

    We think they might be additional supplemental updates, but they could just be some unreleased March updates or something.
    It's really hard to tell when they don't have an official update page to look at.

    I installed the 17031 rtm updates over the old 17025 pre-release on a system that had been /resetbase'd and it appeared to install correctly, but the numbers aren't jiving with Windows.
    Dism is listed as the old 17019 from the pre-release and it shows the image version as the same.

    Just warning people that you really should uninstall the old update before applying this stuff.

    Anyone know if it really matter if you install KB2932046 before the KB2919355? I accidentally install the KB2932046 before the KB2919355 because I followed an earlier post by someone who posted the wrong order.

    Yes. You are correct, I think it was for Windows Vista SP1 beta preview. I even remember we was talking about it here at MDL forum.

    If anyone's tried that, I'd love to hear the result. Namely:

    -Install Win 8.1 (GA version)
    -Install the 4/6 updates for Update 1
    -Visit WU to see what's there, which since Update 1 is apparently inclusive of everything since 8.1, should be nothing but random items like Bing, driver updates, etc. Before Patch Tuesday, of course.

    The order in which you install the updates does not matter at all btw, at least when you had an older version of the update installed.

    Le'sigh... wasn't so lucky on my daughter's prowmc system.
    Now I gotta fix it and hope I don't ruin her settings..

    Just out of curiosity did you resetbase that before applying the updates?

    I did a clean install of Win 8.1 Pro X64 and installed all the 6 updates in order. Resetbase after that. Disabled System Restore and Hibernation. C drive space used: 13.6 GB only. :cool: DISM reports 17031. :biggrin:

    But I was not able to integrate KB2919355 using DISM. It said some XML file error.
    Rest of the updates integrated fine.

    Any help on this?

    Seems it's all in the MSU, at least for the major ones I guess. I applied the updates on a German system and everything is localized.
