First I have to check the bin error in all cmd's, and testing a new option by @SunLion + putting in DaRT settings by script.
According to Simplix site: "If there is UpdatePack7R2Start.cmd next to the set, it will be executed before installing updates, UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd after installation, UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd after integration of updates". I have used UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd and UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd previously to integrate drivers and clean up, but it doesn't seem to be working now. Simplix window used to display "an external application is running". Example below. They are being ignored by the current updatepack. Has anybody else noticed this?
I think you missed the point. The .cmd files used to work with older version of the pack . I attached a picture to show that it used to work They do not work with the current version of the updatepack. Does anybody know why?
So many things have changed since 2017, i don't even know what those commands should suppose to do, never seen or used them, i only use the pack to offline integrate the updates into my AiOs.
The idea is to create a .cmd file called UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd with a line to integrate drivers, or langpacks or whatever you want Place UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd in the same directory as the updatepack The updatepack will run that .cmd file after it has finished integrating the updates - and before unmounting the image It means there is no need to mount the image separately to integrate drivers, etc It is very useful. I used it to integrate whatever was in the drivers folder, whatever is in the langpacks folder, whatever is in the (optional) updates folder, and then clean up. All without needing to mount the image again. It is/was extremely useful because I have an option in my updater.cmd to process all images, using the upgrade edition method. .
That's why there are tools now, to do that. LP's would need to be pre-integrated, before updates are integrated, else many updates will be re-offered on WU, to update the language files.
Perhaps I am not explaining it well. I just used UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd as an example for the sake of brevity. According to Simplix site: "If there is UpdatePack7R2Start.cmd next to the set, it will be executed before installing updates, UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd after installation, UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd after integration of updates". Obviously to integrate something before the updates - use UpdatePack7R2Start.cmd Simplix will mount the image, run UpdatePack7R2Start.cmd before integrating the updates. If there is also a UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd present, Simplix will run that after integrating the updates. It is/was a big time saver. It also simplifies the process, particularly when updating all images. UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd could be something like this: @echo OFF SET TP=%~dp0 SET TP=%TP:~0,-1% cd/d "%TP%" SET MOUNT=%WinDir%\Temp\UpdatePack7Wim DIR /A-D /B /S "DRIVERS\Install%wimarch%\*.INF" >nul 2>&1 && ( DISM.exe /Image:"MOUNT" /Add-Driver /Driver:"%TP%\DRIVERS\Install%wimarch%" /Recurse /ForceUnsigned )
You can keep posting this stuff, it won't make simplix put the options back in, considering all kinds of tools to use his packs and integrate all, are made. And some of them will be a lot faster when you run it on multiple indexes.
I need to do somew more testing when I have time. It might be that including .WA files is stopping the updatepack from picking up those extra .cmd files. If that is the case, I won't use the .wa files because the .cmd are extremely useful.
How do you know what Alex will or won't do? Are you his mother? If that functionality has disappeared - how do you know it isn't accidental? He might see these posts - or someone on oszone might bring it up. "And some of them will be a lot faster when you run it on multiple indexes." It is not run on multiple indexes - that is the whole point. In my previous post: "It is/was extremely useful because I have an option in my updater.cmd to process all images, using the upgrade edition method."
I have a simple question about using the Update7 Integrator along with the Simplix Update Pack. Does it matter if you use Windows 10 as the host system when running the Update7 Integrator? Or should you be using Windows 7 instead? I'm only asking because the last time I did this was several years ago, and I used the Boss911 Integrator instead. And I seem to remember that there was an extra step involved if you used Windows 10 as the host system instead of Windows 7. I'm only trying to eliminate any problems before I begin. EDIT: Forget I asked. Yesterday I ran Update7 Integrator on my Windows 10 machine and produced a shiny new .iso for a clean install. Sorry to bother everyone.

Can I get it somehow below 4GB keeping the addons? Any suggestions?
No single windows 7 x64 index can end up under 4GB with the addons. You have two options: - dism /split-image - dism /export-image to install.esd and use a windows 8.1/10 boot.wim
If there is UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd next to the set, it will be executed after integration of updates UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd is working: ( UpdatePack7R2Start.cmd and UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd don't seem to work now but UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd does)
