    I used WHDownloader to get the Win 8.1 updates that I want then i got WHD-Windows8.1-Updates-Installer_2.3. I put it in the folder where WHDownloader is at and ran it but it just quickly says complete and does nothing. What is going wrong with this?

    Did you set the script to the correct path to the install.wim?

    Hey,

    Using the Windows 7 update installer, target should be where the mount folder is located or the /wimfile:"extracted iso path\sources\install.wim"?

    Its been about 2-3 years since I used windows 7 update installer and I forgot to add these to my notes.

    Lets say F: drive is my secondary hard drive and E: drive is my USB drive.

    ----------------------
    md F:\Mount

    dism.exe /mount-wim /wimfile:"E:\sources\install.wim" /index:4 /mountdir:f:\mount

    target path windows 7 update installer: F:\mount

    ----------------------
    after integrating updates

    dism.exe /unmount-wim /mountdir:f: \mount /commit

    Correct, the mount folder is the target

    I think you didn't unmount /discard first, after the first try went wrong?

    Unmount/Commit (saves all changes):

    Code:
    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:"f:\mount" /commit /checkintegrity
    Discard (as the name implies no changes saved):

    Code:
    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:"f:\mount" /discard

    I just deleted the F:\Mount folder after trying to

    dism.exe /unmount-wim /mountdir:f:\mount /commit

    when it gave an error

    i closed the cmd prompt

    then looked at the f:\mount folder

    and deleted the folder because it was empty

    You could also run this command to cleanup stale files, to be sure:

    Code:
    DISM /Cleanup-Wim

    Could anyone please tell what is going on with WUD?
    I read on several forums that it's no more developed but I see here there is an active discussion.
    I don't want to go through 226 pages so it's possible to have the latest news on the first page?

    I have a simple question...

    I want to fully upgrade my WIN 7 ISO, I've donwloaded every single Update, Remove the "WithoutKB..." folder, Win10, and some other things I don't want (Also removed IE [8 - 10] Updates).

    So, I make my ISO again, but When I format, I still got a lot of updates to do (Yeah, not talking about the Superseded).

    I believe it got to do with the order, but not quite sure.
    I'm integrating them with WinToolkit 1.5.4.10.

    ¿Any Advice?

    Winaddict: If you have a question, feel free to ask here. Not sure what info you're looking for..

    Apryed: Are you talking about updates shown as needed in Windows Update? abbodi1406 only includes current updates in the lists. Many of the ones shown as needed in WU are old and superseded and not included here. You can ignore the ones shown in WU. And there are a few updates that can't be integrated and need to be installed afterwards. They're in the \Additional\_NotAllowedOffline folder.

    As I asked in my previous question I'm looking for information regarding WUD since it seems no more updated even so there is an active chat here.
    I'm looking for the best option/utility for myself for creating an updated Win7 ISO image.

    Oh, I thought that question was already answered above.

    You're in the WHDownloader thread. Questions about WUD can be asked in the thread dedicated to it. That's a completely unrelated project to this one, so I know nothing about it. If it's not being updated, then maybe that project is dead? :dunno: You can download updates with WHDownloader though.
