    hi MDL members,
    been learning a lot from this forum, thanks,

    trying to integrate update *.MSU Windows 8 into INSTALL.WIM but encountered with issue,

    i downloaded the following updates already, sort by date and use the following command,

    C:\Windows\system32>Dism.exe /image:\WIM\cs /Add-Package /Packagepath:\WIN8MSU\Windows8-RT-
    KB????????-x64.msu

    the ????????? is Windows 8 KB numbers.

    my list (based on Windows 8 clean installation)
    Code:
    D:\WIN8MSU>dir *.msu /Od
     Volume in drive D is DATA
     Volume Serial Number is 3CA9-B2D7
    
     Directory of D:\WIN8MSU

    Hello ,

    /PackagePath : just specify the path where the update(s) is/are stored ... no need to use the file name.

    i successfully integrated all win8 updates to install.wim except someones that are not integratables to an offline image ...by ex : Windows8-RT-KB2771431-x64.msu
    some updates need to be added separately in single dism session. see the hotfix repository.


    example:
    Code:
    Dism /Image:c:\win8aio\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\win8aio\updates
    in this case all updates (*.msu files or ie10.cab files) are stored in c:\win8aio\updates

    I think that the best is sysprep a image with all updates integrated. Work perfect for me and thousands of people

    I too had this issue. I solved it by adding the .MSU updates 1st & then adding in my drivers...
    In my batch I use:
    /enable-feature
    /Add-Package
    /Add-Driver
    /Set-ProductKey

    The above order works for me...
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    thanks for the info,
    i guess, maybe there are some KB that shouldnt be added offline,
    i found errors with the following KB so far,

    Windows8-RT-KB2771431-x64,
    Windows8-RT-KB2822241-x64, (my silly mistake, this file was not completely downloaded)
    Windows8-RT-KB2823372-x64,
    Windows8-RT-KB2821895-x64,

    i doing those update in 3 stages,

    To me it seems that there are two ways to get a nice and updated install file: (1) The insanely complicated way or (2) The insanely timeconsuming way. I use (2) for the time being, that is install Windows 8 (or 7) in auditmode, let it update, then capture the new image with dism /capture-image. For w7+w8, that takes around a full day each month (on a dedicated, older, PC).
    Haven't tried method (1) yet (add updates offline with /add-package), but what I've read about it so far, it looks quite "involved", you really have to know about the different types of updates, etc.

    So it seems that both methods are quite tedious... I wonder why Microsoft doesn't provide a full, updated install.wim every month, would be quite handy...

    hi Atari800XL,
    the main issue i got with (2) is,
    after we perform all the update during audit mode, restart, recheck update shows no update anymore,

    but once you deploy that image, then do recheck update, it will load some lots more, (maybe not security updates, but general updates)
    then the pc still need to update to today latest, (kinda wasting bandwidth if deploy more than 3, because those hidden update during audit mode carry around 400MB or more)

    it seems i got a broken KB2822231 (size around 10MB), the valid one is around 45MB,

    one advice is, please use 7zip (test archive) to verify those files before doing Add-Package,
    certainly save you hours of pondering,

    Your problem lies with KB2821895.
    It needs to be added last.

    For example:
    Code:
    dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\win8\sources\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\mnt
    dism /image:c:\mnt /add-package /packagepath:c:\win8msu1
    
    Code:
    dism /image:c:\mnt /add-package /packagepath:c:\win8msu2
    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\mnt /commit


    Do your first pass on the rest of the files, then do the servicing stack update last.

    Murphy78,the seven iso that you posted on TPB, June 2013,what method you used to integrate the kbs? imagex, sysprep, capture or was using dism?:confused:
