Simplix Pack to update Live Win7 System/ Integrate hotfixes into Win7 distribution

@Enthousiast can you post your batch for:

Code:

TITLE Simplix UpdatePack7R2 - with IE11 - USB - Optimize=ESD - No Temp - NoNVMe - Disabled Spectre/Meltdown Fix - Dotnetfx472

I want to do something similar to you but im not sure about the switches. For me i need IE11, dont need USB3 and NVMe drivers, also want to disable Spectre/Meltdown fix and optimize image. So should my batch look like this:

Code:

@Echo Off
TITLE Simplix UpdatePack7R2 - IE11 - NoUSB3 - NoTemp - NoNVMe - NoSpectre/Meltdown Fix - Optimize
COLOR 0A
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:%~dp0wim\install.wim
pause
cls

COLOR 0C
set /p VER=Enter the UpdatePack7R2 version number and press Enter:
set /p IND=Enter the Index number and press Enter:
cls
COLOR 0E
ECHO UpdatePack: %~dp0exe\UpdatePack7R2-%VER%.exe + ie11
ECHO WIM:        %~dp0wim\install.wim [Index=%IND%]
ECHO.
pause
cls
COLOR 09
"%~dp0exe\UpdatePack7R2-%VER%.exe" /WimFile="%~dp0wim\install.wim" /ie11 /NoUSB /FixOff /Optimize /Index=%IND%

pause

Im not sure if those switches should in front of Index number or after it, is there any difference?

 

@molisz

Code:

updatepack.exe /wimfile=x /index=y /other_switches

This way it's a bit more... let's say tidy. You specify your wim file, you specify the index and then you "tell" it what you want it to do.
And yes, /ie11 /NoUSB /FixOff /Optimize are the switches you need.

 

@shhnedo Thank you, thats what i wanted to know.
@Enthousiast Yeah, i grabbed those batches from the OP.

Since i know im gonna update only one index, does that mean that /Optimize switch deletes others indexes or theyre still in the image, just not updated?
If yes then im good but if not, what can i do to achieve smallest possibe image file?

 

Will this be enough:

Code:

Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:D:\WIMOLD\install.wim SourceIndex:3 /DestinationImageFile:D:\WIMNEW\install.wim

assuming that since install.wim is from Win 7 Pro iso, that its index 3 and i work on D drive with folders WIMOLD and WIMNEW ?
Do i need Compress:max switch or just exporting image will compress and optimize automatically?
And to do all that i need WAIK for Win 7, correct?

Thank you @Enthousiast. Btw in your last log i saw you integrated .NET 4.7.2 into Win 7 Enterprise SP1 x86. What i want to know is:
1. did you also used language pack ?
2. to integrate into x64 image do i need both x86 and x64 .wa files or just x64 one?

edit. Thanks @shhnedo , good to know, thats why i asked before if i should use Win 7 ADK because some ppl say to go with 8.1 version.
Was gonna drop that /optimize switch from the batch and compress:max when using /export-image but now reading @Enthousiast maybe ill hold my horses lol

 

....Can not longer update an image that has already been updated before? By Simplix or not? Then we will have to update by Simplix in a clean image? I couldn't use the 19.1.10 an image that was already updated until last month.

 

so the process is as easy as:
take an iso of win 8.1 and open it with an iso editor then remove sources/install.wim of the win 8.1 and put install.esd of win7 instead
then save the iso, and it should run as a normal win 7 installation media

but i think it will not help in case of recovery or startup repair ??
is there any downside of installing windows 7 using esd or is it just fine ??

thanks

 

Iso won't boot properly in some older hardware (which runs win7 perfectly fine though)
It's better to use .wim if plans are to use the iso in many hardwares.
I prefer to integrate usb3.x drivers in boot.wim and simplix take care of drivers in install.wim , that way I can use this iso in both old and new ( not all ofcourse) hardwares.

 

Thank you Enthousiast for keeping this thread updated
