    Yeah, i thought i would alter the file name a little bit by adding "puplish" date to it
    this way, every month file name will be unique and thus removes the confusion for not having latest version

    Will that work with the downloader properly though? Maybe we should do some testing on our local systems, because we can :)!

    I tested this yesterday with Office 2010-x86 and it worked perfectly... The previous Outlook Email filter update was replaced with the NEWer one and the OLDer one was moved into the OLD folder... THANKS... :clap:

    I bet this sounds ridiculous but I have tried this 3 times with the same results... I am trying to download 2983488 x64 and it shows downloading, says its completed but its never in the folder and then when I close and re-open WHD it shows up again as not downloaded... this has been "one of those" days for me lol

    Some updates are missing for my system win7 x64 sp1.

    .NET 4 updates are not regular msu updates, so there are not included in our list

    2982378 is a superseded update by a higher hotfix, but still needed to satisfy WU
    you may install it

    2952664 are available
    but it has a newer version each month, sometimes major and sometimes minor (like this month)
    so you need to manually delete the existing Windows6.1-KB2952664-v4-x64.msu to get the new one

    Yes
    but that would make the update name weird or unusal and may cause confusion to some users

    but if they keep updating it every month, then i believe we will need that fix
    actually, we can use the original file name with its hash, e.g.
    Code:
    windows6.1-kb2952664-v4-x64_77ea606b76cdbd9b31e4a4d734a032b931e8a5c7.msu
    i don't know how's that slept my mind earlier :D

    Quick question - I want to start using this to build my own updated Pro x64 install disc. My base is the MS-released April ISO (already updated to 8.1.1). Are there specific dates of updates I can safely ignore & not download when doing my build (obviously, I see the listing come up for the 680MB+ Update 1 & I can ignore that, etc..).

    I just did a test build this evening with the latest lists, and using either the MSMG Toolkit/WinToolkit v1.4.47.2, I am still asked to download 10 updates (146MB+), and the dates of those KB's are all over the place from the last 4 months. Any idea what I'm screwing up?

    You can skip only the updates in "Baseline\RTM" category

    when integrating, start with Baseline updates as described in Instructions-20140909.txt
    then you can go on for the rest of categories

    note that "NET35" updates require enabling NetFx3 feature (.NET 3.5)

    Thanks for the fast reply! I noticed that even skipping the Baseline\RTM fixes, the tool is downloading more fixes than WUD was doing (and I'm carefully picking what I need, as I see numerous fixes & patches that don't apply to my setup plan).

    I'll build another ISO & see how it works today. I think I'm going to be better served with this tool instead of WUD.

    Update - the build I did still came up with 9 downloads, plus was asking for a smaller version of KB2919355 (not the 690MB one).

    KB2978668
    KB2939087
    KB2955164
    KB2968599
    KB2989647

    I swear I saw most of those in the list in the downloader & they did get integrated...

    KB2978668, KB2968599, KB2955164 (this one is actually KB2965500) are superseded updates, however WU requires them to satisfy

    KB2989647 needs to integrated first one, alone to be sure

    KB2939087 is sort of prerequisite update for KB2919355, and should not offered for systems with KB2919355 already installed
    are you really sure that your ISO is Windows 8.1 with Update?

    Yep, a genuine MSDN x64 ISO. The WU run apparently only downloaded 30+MB of stuff, not the 150+MB of stuff that was shown in the list (and everything came out OK with no errors).

    What I'm using: en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4065090

    KB2975061 is the older servicing stack. If you are using the "with Update" versions of win81, you can use the newer KB2989647 servicing stack.
    I did it this month and I've had no problems.

    KB2975061 is still listed as required by Komm's latest for install wim plus neither Komm or abbodi1406 flag it as superseeded. I wonder what would happen if one just did not install/slipstream this update? :g:
    What about KB2959977; how do you get that one in the boot wims, if you do?
