    komm has suggested previously that if you include updates in the winre.wim or the DVD's boot.wim, that it's highly recommended to use KB2800033. And that's the reason it's in the (Additional/Integrate to installation media) folder in the repo. You'd need to not include the LDR of those three others to make it active though (use GDR only from them).

    But, yes, if you install the LDR of those three updates, there is no need to integrate KB2800033 to installation media since it would not be active.

    Just a word of warning, .NET Framework 4.5.1 Preview (KB2828152-v2) didn't work properly for me. It installed, and all seemed good, but the the Catalust Control Centre (AMD) didn't like it! Also, when updating with NGEN, error Windows popped up that shouldn't have. Couldn't uninstall it either, so had to resort to system restore!

    Edit: Tried again, and this time it could be uninstalled, but the same errors occurred when installed:
    When running NGEN the error is 'A new guard page for the stack cannot be created.'

    This is the same with force installing the GDR version, the LDR version, and also running the update normally. It seems to be properly broken for NET Framework 4.x apps.

    So, looks like for Windows 8 it is broken, DO NOT INSTALL!

    Sounds good. Very rarely should you need to uninstall an update. I definitely wouldn't run it after installing preview updates, like the NET Framework 4.5.1 broken one though.

    guys, gotta praise you for the KUC app. I popped all 180 of my updates in the specific folders and ran the bat and they all installed. even the 162mb one that always fails.

    nice one.


    checked device manager on reboot and see the newer drivers are installed for various devices.
    ie10 showing newer build ver as well as wmp12.

    then I removed the gdrs and ran comp cleanup. all is good!

    wooo :worthy:
