Windows 7 Hotfix repository

For driver, it's only for USB3 in boot.wim (with Windows 7)

 

Well i also had to add intel chipset drivers because just usb 3.0 driver was not enough.

 

This will scan and integrate ALL drivers in a folder/sub-folders

Code:

dism /Image:D:\mount /Add-Driver /Driver:<path_to_root_drivers_folder> /recurse

Just point to a folder (does not do sub-folders) and it will integrate ALL MSU/CAB updates into your image

Code:

dism /Image:D:\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:<path_to_root_updates_folder>

 

Also if you have unsigned drivers then add /ForceUnsigned flag.

 

What updates (if any) superseded these two?

KB2813347 (RDP v7 not v8)
KB2701894 (ntprint)

Yes the drivers just have to be in $WinPEDrivers$ folder. Doesent matter if they are in subfolders there. Only matters that they are properly extracted (obvious).
$WinPEDrivers$ folder itself has to be on DVD/USB root. Pretty simple if you ask me. The drivers are then scanned and installed during windows setup. I should note that depending on the number if drivers it does increase the install time. For example i have about 600MB worth of drivers there and it increased the install time by about 3-4 minutes.

I also use $OEM$ folder that needs to be placed in: Sources folder in DVD/USB. The great thing about that is that i can mirror windows file structure and let windows replace system files during installation. For example fonts, themes, user account pictures, setup scripts and even Windows Update database that has my previous view settings (unnessesary things already hidden).

 

Thanks for the info. Yes, I use the $OEM$ folder methods also I need to look into the WU database trick, that sounds good. BTW, when you add fonts, do you need to run an install script or does Windows pick it up automatically?

 

Yep i have specify the fonts in SetupComplete and include the font files in : $OEM$\$$\Fonts

Code:

start /wait reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" /v "BlackChancery (TrueType)" /t REG_SZ /d BlackChancery.ttf /f
start /wait reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" /v "CRYSIS Bold (TrueType)" /t REG_SZ /d Crysis.ttf /f
start /wait reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" /v "Slider Regular (TrueType)" /t REG_SZ /d Slider.ttf /f

WU database should go here: $OEM$\$$\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb
^ 200MB+

Whenever possible i prefer built in tools. Otherwise i will end up with 200 small program and each doing it's small thing.

 

Thanks for the info. Up to this time I had maintained a font package installer (post-install) that I installed via a WPI-based serial installer app. Main reason for that being that I tried to keep the sysprep'd images as basic/vanilla as possible so I could use them for customized builds as well as default installs. Even .NET 4.5.x I would so post-install (I use an installer based on Ricktendo's 4.5.1) but I did consider just adding that via sysprep. I used to make some lite images so a leftover of that is that I prefer smaller images still. But since Win8.x even updated Win7 images feel small because updating those really causes bloat like never before. Updated x64 Win8 image would get me a 5gb iso, no thanks But I don't use Win8.x anymore anyway, it really sucks, even when adding sugar and spice

1) Hi folks I have a question. Updates "2835174", "974150" and "974674" (Windows 7 x64), can be integrated into an image? Wintoolkit sent to the "Silent - SFX"

2)"Platform Updates" are updates that upgrade?

3) These updates (Windows6.1-KB2537203-x64 and Windows6.1-KB968211-x64-RefreshPkg) are only for the N versions of Windows?

4) How essential is the update "Windows6.1-KB947821-v31-x64"?

 

1) 2835174 needs Polish language pack
974150 + 974674 needs English language pack

2) Didn't understand your meaning

3) KB968211 only for N, KB2537203 is for Media Center

4) It's only required if you are facing Windows Update or Updates Packages errors, or if you want to make sure that all installed updates are 100%

I integrated "all" updates downloaded from "WDH" but windows update tells me that I need the following
KB2667402
KB2676562
KB2813347
KB2868725
KB2533552
KB2798162
KB2545698
KB2547666
KB2592687
KB2603229
KB2729094
KB2761217.
None of these updates are in the repository. i use Wintoolkit and check the option "LDR-QFE Mode". All other options are default. I use the original image of Windows 7 in Spanish.

 

That are "WU satisfy" updates, they are suppressed with some newer updates, but WU still complain, so if you want to satisfy WU you can hide them or manually download and integrate...
