    WHD-Windows8.1-Updates-Installer latest version 5.2 doesn't delete the two folders to mount the wim files at the end of the process. Does anyone else noticed that also ?

    I applied one fix from W10UI regarding mount directory path (to avoid issues if the user accidentally specified drive folder or existing folder)
    but i forgot to apply the updated fix for that :)

    the two folders are left empty, right?

    It's not released yet :)
    i'm still testing it

    should i add separate option for "Reset OS Image base" like Win10?
    or Cleanup option is enough (it will run /ResetBase by default)?

    Perfect :)

    For me Cleanup option is enough. In 8.1 there is no downside to using /ResetBase so I believe that for most it is also sufficient but you never know.

    Same for me cleanup is enough. But I have a question regarding WHD is it better to create a new wim file or new image (W8.1 x64) at every updates and or just had the latest updates from WHD. Because every month some updates are superseded and will not be added to the new image but have been added in a precedent one.
    Hoping I'm clear enough :)

    New image is better
    you cannot remove pending updates from wim before installation

    Windows 7 cannot fully extract (expand.exe) some updates, that's the cause of "source files missing" error

    the only possible workaround is to run Win 8.1 dism.exe directly against the update cab file, which the script successfully do for first index integration
    but it seems to fail for other indexes (and winre.wim)

    i will see what i can do, thanks for debug log

    Thanks

    Out of curiosity, why doesn't copying over Windows 8's expand.exe and then hardwiring the path to it in your script work (I tried it)?

    because Win8 expand need Win8 DLLs, it's not just the executable that do the work
