Windows Integration Guide - murphy78

Hi murphy78 and all,
Well, Good things to play with.
Now, I have a question. How we can disable UAC after mounting install.wim? I mean setting the value to 0 in "EnableLUA" subkey in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Thanks!

 

Code:

reg load "HKLM\#Soft" "e:\win\mount\windows\system32\config\software"

#Soft = name under which the software hive is loaded under HKLM
e:\win\mount = Path to mount folder

will load mounted:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

as:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\#Soft\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Unload:

Code:

reg unload "HKLM\#Soft"

Hey Murphy78, in July we discussed updating winre.wim & using this in all the win8 indexes.
I've done so with all my core, pro & bing wims without issue. Today I realized the winre.wim from Bing is 15mb smaller.
Are you aware of this? Why wouldn't it be the same?

 

Hello,

I would like to integrate all current Windows 8.1 updates/rollups.
When I integrate Update1 and the November Rollup, I still need all the other rollups.
Is that correct?
What is the best ways to integrate all updates/rollups?

My lines:

Very Nice & Helpful Thread, Tanks a lot

In order to build a fully up-to-date installation of Windows 8.1, you need the Update 1 ISO (18 March 2014) and about 40 updates, depending on edition, selected features etc. Only 20 of those updates are strictly necessary, but it's worth including the others to stop Windows Update from offering them to you.
I have found that I can integrate all the updates offline without having to make special arrangements (the order in which they are integrated is no longer important).
I put all the updates in one folder, and then use dism to mount 'install.wim' and add the updates :
dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:<imagepath> /Index:1 /MountDir:<mountdir>
dism /image:<mountdir> /Add-Package /packagepath:<updatedir>
dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:<mountdir> /commit
Most of the trouble which people have experienced seems to be due to KB2939153, which has been superseded this month. I can let you have a list of updates, but it may not match your exact circumstances. I generated my list by doing a clean install of Windows and then using Windows Update to check which ones are required. Start by installing the missing parts of Update 1 KB2919355 (KB2934018 and KB2959977), then the November rollup (KB3000850, KB3003057 and KB3014442), then follow your nose. Note that some updates consists of several files and WU needs several goes to install all the files.

Hi Cedders and Slave77, thanks for you're reply!

Unfortunately I cannot get the Windows 8.1 Enterprise with Update 1 ISO, so I first need to install the Update1 KB's (in a specific order).
After that I can add the rest of the updates. I doesn't mater in witch order but for my administration I created a folder per Rollup.
When I do an offline-add of Update 1 + November Rollup and do a clean install, Windows Updates wants all the other Rollup's.
If I add all the Rollup's offline the WIM file becomes very large -> 6,1GB.
I would rather not use a external (not Microsoft) tool integrate the updates.

Does anyone has the same issue?

Satisfying WU properly is simply a vast PITA atm ... :

I am experimenting using 'install.esd' instead of 'install.wim'. This works very nicely with W8.1/32, but on W8.1/64, installation fails immediately before the first reboot "Getting finished" (sic) with a message that the installation file is corrupt - the equivalent 'install.wim' works fine. Has anyone else seen this problem ?

 

Thanks for the info Cedders!
I need the Windows 8.1 with update Enterprise VL version and that is not available on MSDN.
I will wait until Wednesday and try to integrate the updates again.

 

you are doing sysprep for each image index? that may take a very long time. i have tried this but each install/update/resetbase/capture took several hours for me, so i gave up.

 

i didn't know this. so only CoreConnected , single language and enterprise need to be updated.
