    Ehm sorry no.
    I use NTLite to create nearly fully patched install iso files of Windows 8.1 I then test the iso using virtualbox and check online update and then I look for the missing updates. So it would be nice to have a search function to find a particular update. So that's why my question.

    Launch WHD, pick the update list, right click the bottom expand all updates, select/deselect all updates, search updates.

    I'm working on a "nostalgic" ISO in which I am packing all Windows 7 versions x86/x64 in both pt-BR/en-US.
    All went fine, but now i'm trying to apply the updates for each single version and I have a few questions about it.

    1) I used this program to download updates about a month ago. Applied the updates using NTlite and noticed 3 or 4 updates were injected into the "update" folder to be applied at "SetupComplete.cmd". Is it a normal behaviour? Can't these updates be added to the sources?

    2) Some of the downloaded files are *.cab and even *.exe. These too are applied to the image? Or are they ignored by NTLite without notice?

    3) Even after applying all the updates, after windows install, the Windows Update program will ask to update the updater. Can it be integrated to the setup?

    4) My internet connection is darn slow and these updates (for the two platforms) are huuuge. Is there a way to make WHD skip the updates I have downloaded previously? I tried to put them in the download folder, but they're just replaced with a new version.

    5) Since I'm doing an AIO dvd, can i mix the update files for x64 and x86 in a single folder, so i can just add them to all the indexes inside install.wim?


    I'm sorry for my english and sorry if some/all of these questions have been already answered in this thread. It's 184 pages and hard to read them all.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    1) No, those updates cannot be added/integrated, the system must be running

    2) cabs are integratable just like msus, there is only 1 exe WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6 and you can ignore it if you integrated the cab files in General category

    3) Windows Update will always have conflicts with WHD updates list, it's better to stick with one of them only
    there are other projects that offer and manage only updates which are offered by WU

    I am wondering if anyone knows a simple way to take just a list of the updates from the change log and after I download them all with WHD copy the listed files to another folder so I can easily use DISM to integrate them. I tried creating a few scripts with "for" but I can't get it right...

    EX:
    Download all win7x64 updates with WHD
    Create txt file list from abbodi's change log
    Code:
    Windows6.1-KB2998527-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB3001554-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2949927-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2968294-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2972100-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2977292-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2979570-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2984972-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2984976-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2987107-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2994023-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB3000061-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB3000869-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB3000988-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2908580-v3-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2995054-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2996534-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB3000056-v3-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2997200-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2998097-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2998965-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2957486-v2-x64.msu
    Windows6.1-KB2989007-x64.msu
    
    copy the files in the txt file to a new folder (for /f "delims=" %%i in (updates.txt) do echo D|xcopy "C:\_Slipstream\Updates\Windows7-x64\%%i" "c:\newupdates\%%i\" /y) DOESN'T WORK
    run DISM against my mounted WIM (dism /image:R:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:newupdates)

    How about this?
    Code:
    set repo=C:\_Slipstream\Updates\Windows7-x64
    set target=C:\newupdates
    
    cd /d "%repo%"
    FOR %%A IN (
    2998527
    3001554
    2949927
    2968294
    2972100
    2977292
    2979570
    2984972
    2984976
    2987107
    2994023
    3000061
    3000869
    3000988

    2995054
    2996534
    3000056-v3
    2997200
    2998097
    2998965
    2957486-v2
    2989007
    ) DO (
     dir /b /s *%%A*>>slist.txt
    )
    for /f %%A in (slist.txt) do copy /y %%A "%target%"
    del slist.txt

    So I want to make a slipstream disk and i'm a little confused about some things. Is WinToolkit still a good tool to use to do this or would I be better off with another method? And for the updates I downloaded all of them for windows 7 x64 Should I just integrate everything including the Extra and Additional folders or would some of those updates be unnecessary? I also noticed there is a "_NotAllowedOffline" folder so I assume you can not slipstream these? Oh and I noticed some updates get replaced or recalled is this a big problem I need to keep an eye out for so I know when to remove some older updates?

    i install all the updates in a vmware machine and then i open WHD en choose offline updates download

    :D

    but for win7 its to long
    i want to speed up that process :D

    so another way
    but i want only the necessary updates in my windows :D

    So can i filter the ones that i only need for integrating ?

    S***tloads of updates to integrate:p

    How can I have a setupcomplete.cmd check for x86 or amd64, pick one accordingly to which version being installed and install all updates?

    Or even more simple, just install the exe's?
