Once I integrate all the updates from McRips x64 folder to the install.wim then remake the DVD, then after I do a fresh install with it I'm assuming I need to run/add KB2728973-rvkroots.exe and Windows6.1-KB2732072.reg file(s) ?
In your changelog, I have not seen, KB2655992 superseded by KB2748437 And KUC says Code: 2733947 6.1.1.0 Windows6.1-KB2733947-v2-x64.msu REMOVE/ADDThe version of this update is lower than that of the reference(6.1.2.0)! I downloaded the hotfix on the repo, but it is always 6.1.1.0 Thanks EDIT: It is OK for KB2733947, is not updated in the repo, but OK if I download with KUC (KB2733947v2) It is not in the repo
Yes. Some part of it are for MediaCenter. The other parts are for all Clients. But you are right, if this is needed for every client, i could remove it from the mediacenter folder. But I just want to remember myself, if the non MediaCenter parts are superseded, it still will be needed for Media center. There are also some other updates, that can be found twice.
Hey burf you think you can add support for KUC type Update folder structure? Where KUC copies the files to Normal and LDR, the Normal updates you can just point dism to the root folder and only extract & install the LDR folder msu/cabs? This takes the guess work outta what updates need to be installed to satisfy WU, so you don't need to use or maintain a list
Not quite sure what you mean, however I'll try an answer (and also explain a few things in case others are wondering) The idea with the installer is to work from a local repository, a list of updates that you already know are fully applicable. Komm and Mcrip have set their folder structure up that way because it is impossible to cater for all systems and all preferences (such as additional update components, and in Komm's case, server and client specific updates). The installer is designed to handle any number of updates, and any applicability state (within reason). Ideally you only keep applicable updates, which can be determined by running option 4 in the install menu. This way you can download all the updates from Komm or Mcrip, place them all in the one folder, and the run the applicability check. It installs all updates, checks the applicability of the ones that haven't installed, and gives you the option to remove them. By doing this, you have a fully maintained local repository (well, as long as you keep up to date with the update lists from Komm or Mcrip, and by using the 'old update remover'). Separating updates into folders for a local repository makes less sense when you consider this. It also doesn't need updating to recognise new updates. The only time it needs updating, in regards to updates, is when there are new 'non-standard' updates (these are very few), and to update the Windows Update satisfy list. Some Windows Update released updates require both the GDR and LDR versions of the updates to be installed to not show. Even when the WU satisfy list isn't updated, the LDR version will be installed, and the system up to date, just that the update will show.
You did not understand my request...when you run KUC to scan yous system for what updates it needs, you browse for a repo folder, then you browse for a updates folder where it creates a cmd script to copy the updates from the repo folder to: <updates>\Normal & <updates>\LDR. It also creates cmd files to install these updates but the LDR cmd is pretty slow at extracting & installing the updates (because it does them one by one) Would be great if your installer worked with msu/cab that are in a \Normal and \LDR sub-folder, (KUC does the sorting so no need for to use WU satisfy list,) just point dism to the Normal folder and only extract and force install the LDR folder files
Ah I see! well, I might have a look at adding that as an alternative option later on, but it will require a bit of code rearrangement.
If you don't want to completely redo your installer, maybe you could give komm some advice on improving his LDR cmd script to do batch LDR install
I deleted KB2733947 from my local repo and KUC did not find any missing files although it should have downloaded v2. I ran the check from XP.
A view with komm, if this hotfix is superseded Otherwise, you know what's the directory "panther" in C:\Windows?
