    @abbodi1406 I have been using your script as a guideline to determine what reg settings I should be updating in my new images after I run KUC (both offline & Online) Actually I have been doing this since your 1.1 release :) In your latest 2.7 I see that the number of reg entries is significantly reduced, so basically I am wondering if your entries are all that are required or is there a "repository or thread that maintains an updated current list... and of course thanks for the script

    I don't remember the details, but most of the removed registry values are configured and added by hotfixes themselves (or CR KB3125574)
    and the PnP BusInformation/Pci values are not universal

    i remember komm posted a list of all hotfixes that have extra registry values
    but it's probably lost with the MDL hacking/delete happened last year

    Thanks I will keep checking for more info and I will try an ask Komm as well. Can I ask another question? When should I be adding reg entries to ControlSet001 instead of ControlSet? Is it an online offline mounted reg issue?

    Did some more research and found the answer about ControlSet... thanks

    What is the difference between the "Windows8.1-x64" and the "Windows8.1-Update3-x64" packages?

    Hi, thanks for checking on things, but take a look in abbodi1406's Windows 7 change log (in his sig). He removed KB2888049 from the list on June 14, 2016 since it was superseded then.

    I'm not sure how you determined that it belongs in the list, but if it's because it's shown as needed in Windows Update, note that he only includes non-superseded updates in the lists (regardless of what WU says).

    BTW, welcome to MDL with your first post! :)

    -------
    EDIT: okay, now I see why you say KB2888049 is missing- abbodi1406 has it listed as a prerequisite in his "IE11-Prerequisites.txt" file (if rollup KB3125574 is not installed) but it's not included in the lists.

    He probably just overlooked updating that text file at some point. Let's wait for abbodi1406 to clear this up next time he logs in.

    sgtsixpack: If you've installed rollup KB3125574 (unofficial SP2), you don't need all the old individual updates that are already included in the rollup.

    I'm looking at my drivers I want to integrate first so have not committed any windows updates. I am using an image that I previously updated with WUD so I possibly have to remove some stuff first before applying unofficial sp2. I've realised the benifit of reading the comment text files, and I've noticed the tags for "do not use in offline installation". I also am in agreement with your advice, thx.

    MSMG Toolkit will remove apps and components, but I don't think it'll remove old drivers or updates. You can ask those questions in the MSMG thread though.

    This thread is for WHDownloader so if you have a question about it, we'd be glad to help with that.

    I was reading the notes about install order:

    ## Convenience rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 ##

    - KB3125574 is a comprehensive rollup update that contains almost all fixes released
    after Windows 7 SP1's release, up through April 2016

    - To apply this update, you must first install servicing stack update KB3020369.
    This is the recommended installation order to get the best use of the rollup:
    1. KB3020369 / Prerequisite
    2. KB2670838 / Platform Update
    3. KB3125574 / Convenience Rollup
    4. KB3172605 / July 2016 Rollup - fixes and speed up Windows Update search

    and also notice there is a script which I presume is run after you install the operating system. WHD-Windows7-Updates-Installer_2.4 I'm guessing they would have the right install order with the script? If this script automates the process in the correct order and installs all my updates that I downloaded I see no reason to try to slipstream them into the OS.
