If you have ADK installed, run the CMD shortcut in the programs menu

For some reason you are running cmd.exe in syswow64 when you should be using the one in system32

I think you have the 32 bit and 64 bit system folders mixed up, syswow64 is for x86 and system32 is for x64

 

*giggle* now who's mixed up?

This guy's error reflects what happens when you try to run a 32-bit dism, from the x86 ADK folder, using /online switch...
You want to either use the system's dism, which will auto-switch between them, or use an AMD64 dism from the ADK.

 

I try to run the Remove_OLD.cmd, which get's created in c:\wu\ and has the following commands in it:

Code:

@echo off
      set dest=/online
rem   set tmpdir=D:\offline
rem   set dest=/image:%tmpdir%




      if %dest%==/Online DO (

          for /f "tokens=2* delims=0x" %%A IN ('REG query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v AUOptions') DO (
    set AUSetting=0x%%A
    )


          if %AUSetting%==0x0 GOTO Problem
          if %AUSetting%==0x1 GOTO NoProblem

It looks like that the Error is related to Total Commander Ultima Prime v5.7, but if I start the Remove_OLD.cmd via Explorer, then I get another Error plus DISM.log file:

It's not such important to me to remove some of the updates, as long they don't cause any issues.

 

I wonder if it changes the flag to permanent when you do a resetbase command...

 

just tested on vitural machine it seems it does

About KB2883900 and Windows 8.1 x64, do we replace botmgr on the root of the DVD with the bootmgr in KB2883900?

I ask because its in a x86 dir:

x86_microsoft-windows-b..re-bootmanager-pcat_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16388_none_57cd7832cec67da4

 

ricktendo64

According to hex-editor there no any differences between botmgr in Windows8.1-KB2883900-x86 (x86_microsoft-windows-b..re-bootmanager-pcat_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16388_none_57cd7832cec67da4), Windows8.1-KB2883900-x64 (x86_microsoft-windows-b..re-bootmanager-pcat_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16388_none_57cd7832 cec67da4), in Windows\Boot\PCAT folder (after Windows8.1-KB2883900-x64 online installation), UPD. And in the root directory of system partition. Botmgr has changed attributes (system and hidden) but is identical bit by bit to botmgr in Windows8.1-KB2883900-x64 (x86_microsoft-windows-b..re-bootmanager-pcat_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16388_none_57cd7832 cec67da4).



So i think we do.

Oops, my mistake- I tried it on permanant updates in Win8 (and it works fine), but not ones set from a run of /RestBase in Win8.1.

Thanks for the correct info abbodi!

 

Yeh i replaced the bootmgr also, and it works all ok

 

If you look at Kb2870699 it reports that windows 8.1 = IE 11 is not effected, so maybe remove from Repository for Windows 8.1 ?

 

I can uninstall KB2884778 via Control Panel and KUC tells me that it's missing and under KB2883295 it tells me to remove KB2884778 as it's superseeded, but not installed.

I can't un-install KB2883295 via Control Panel (doesn't give me the option). I tried "Windows8.1-KB2883295-x64.msu /ResetBase", but it changes nothing.

The un-installed KB2884778 get's automatically installed again, when I re-run KUC.

I also have every update from KUC twice in the Packages-Folder, like:

Code:

Package_for_KB2883295_RTM~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.0.cat
Package_for_KB2883295_RTM~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.0.mum

Package_for_KB2883295~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.0.cat
Package_for_KB2883295~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.0.mum

The .mum has no "permanent"-entry.

That's only as Info, as I will just leave it how it is, if it doesn't cause any issues.

 

the correct command is:

Code:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
