    According to Simplix, that is a Microsoft bug, and nothing can be done.

    It's strange, considering that the x64 version display the number well

    This is probably a stupid question but if I use this to integrate all updates and ie10 into windows 7 ultimate but I choose to install professional, it will also have all the updates and ie10 right?

    It is not stupid :D
    If you choose to integrate in Ultimate you must put key /index=5 (for x86) or /index=4 (for x64). Professional will remain untouched.
    example: UpdatePack7Live.exe /WimFile=C:\install.wim /Index=5 (or =4)


    But if you want to integrate in all indexes in wim file (home, premium, professional and Ultimate etc.) at the same time than use key /index=*
    example:
    UpdatePack7Live.exe /WimFile=C:\install.wim /Index=*

    Useful command to see indexes in wim file is:
    Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:c:\w7\sources\install.wim
    where "w7" is folder with extracted Windows 7 ISO.

    Thanks for answering :)
    If I integrate it in all indexes files using *, will the wim file be the same size as only ultimate or will it become even larger ?

    I already made a windows 7 sp1 64bit with ie10 and all updates using index=4
    What I want to know is if I remove the ei.cfg file ( so that I can choose which version to install ), will the other install ( f.i. professional ) also have all the updates and ie10? Apparently I have to use index=* so that it updates all versions but will it add all those updates for every version thus making the wim a lot bigger ?

    You will need to update all the images.

    That will not make the wim bigger than just updating one image. It will take a long while to do though.

    I want to use it for both professional and ultimate.So I'm doing it with * now.I guess 3 and 4 would have been enough for 64 bit.

    In case anyone is interested, my install file is now 1GB bigger than the original. When I only did Ultimate, it was around 700MB.

    Did you use max compression?

    If not, rebuild the wim using imagex and max compression.

    I don't know how KUC checker is functioning.
    I know that Simplix UpgateLivePack consists of regular Microsoft hotfixes.
    You can use any that fits your needs.

    Nope, guess I'll give it a try.
    Can I use it on my extracted iso folder or do I actually need to install it on a ( virtual ) machine first to use imagex?


    Is that on a 64bit virtual machine? I think I read somewhere that it's a bug.

    Hello,

    No, it's on a x86 EEEPC.
    I think there is missing updates and bad updates in the pack :(

    After finishing integrating updates and unmount, to compress Install.wim,
    Open Microsoft WAIK - Deployment tools Command Prompt
    and run subsequently these commands:
