    Just an Idea... What if, we name the folder like "For ULTIMATE ONLY", "For ULT-PRO-HomeP ONLY"
    and a readme.txt if a particular hotfix has a prerequisite :rolleyes:

    That's very far from ideal or good :rolleyes:

    as i listed, only few hotfixes are specific, i think a text file will be enough to distinguish them :smile3:

    All hotfixes should be applicable to ALL images, because all images can later be updated to other higher editions... So,the updates for features sit there in WinSxS folder until that happens

    As abbodi1406 said, these are superseded. If you let 'Windows download' download and install them, only the express cabinets will be downloaded. These express cabinets contain just the manifest files, they do not actually contain any updates.

    If you install these separately (assuming all superseding updates are installed), you will actually not only install the manifest files, but the superseded update files as well. These files will be inactive, the newer update will still be the active one. This is not preferable since it needlessly takes up more disk space. Unfortunately, you cannot install the express cabinets yourself, they can only be installed through Windowsupdate. This is by design, so you do not silence Windowsupdate by accident. That would be bad in the case of security updates etc!

    There is a bit of a bug in Windowsupdate (still there in Windows 8.1 update 1), where the download size for these express cabinets is not correct. It may read say, 20 MB, where in fact it will only download say, 200 KB. Ideally Microsoft should have at least (express) listed, the correct size, and maybe a quick explanation why it's express, but I guess it's very low on their priority list!

    Hello

    I have a problem to installing Windows 7

    If I integrate the hotfix at ISO, I get an error message to the end of the installation, after the registry and service settings (Windows can not configure one or more components)
    Without integrating the hotfix, Windows 7 installs without problem

    I'm testing for a few days (for something else) and at first I had no problem
    I remove no components, I just integrate the hotfix
    ISO is good because I did not have a problem if I do not integrate the hotfix

    If someone has an idea

    Thanks so much


    EDIT: it's ok with rt7lite :confused:

    You could get the setupact.log & setuperr.log files from C:\Windows\Panther in the failed system to see what the exact error is

    Can I ask why you are trying to install all hotfixes?
    You should only install hotfixes for features that are actually installed.

    A quick and easy way of getting the hotfixes you need to integrate is to make a vm using your starting disc.
    After booting up, you run wuapp and let it download and install all hotfixes.
    Reboot and repeat for the 2nd pass.

    Take out the kb2533552 since it's online only, but you can go into c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download and
    search for *.cab and just copy all the cab files onto a usb flash drive. Then you can integrate those cab files either with dism or rt7lite or whatever.

    I integrate all updates, even if I do not use certain "functions" installed but thank you for your help

    So without WMF 4 (KB2819745) it's ok :confused:
    The KB2819745 not must be integrated?
    You integrate this update or not? You do not have a problem?

    I'll try by integrating KB2862330-v2, KB2895729-v2 :)
