Update your Win 7 installation media

mega,

This line changes directory to bin

Code:

cd /d "BIN"

This line assumes that wimlib-imagex.exe and wimupdate.txt are both in the bin directory

Code:

wimlib-imagex.exe update "%TP%\WinRE.wim" 1 < "wim-update.txt"

This is how I do it when using different arches of wimlib:

There is no need to cd/d bin when using %wimlib% variable. Also need to tell %wimlib% where wimupdate.txt is.

Code:

IF EXIST "%TP%\bin\wim-update.txt" DEL /Q "%TP%\bin\wim-update.txt"
echo.
echo add '%TP%\BIN\peshl%wimarch%\Windows' '\Windows' >> "%TP%\bin\wim-update.txt"
echo.
%WimLib% update "%TP%\Temp\WinRE.wim" 1 < "%TP%\bin\wim-update.txt"

Worked!!!
Thanks

SIW2,
Sorry for the low level questions.
- Under Create commands you create UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd.
- UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd has instructions to Add-Driver and ADD-PACKAGE to \mount\UpdatePack7Wim and copy WINRE.WIM to mount\UpdatePack7Wim\Windows\System32\Recovery

Questions:
- Does UpdatePack7R2*.exe also add Drivers and PACKAGE to install.wim? If yes, if you update install.wim with UpdatePack7R2*.exe there is no need to previous run :MountInstallWim that also add Drivers and PACKAGES to install.wim, correct?
- Who uses UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd, UpdatePack7R2*.exe?
- Does UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd and UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd must be in same folder of UpdatePack7R2*.exe? (I suppose yes)

Shadow Lord,



Dism++ can uninstall it afterwards. Then hide it in windows update so wu doesn't keep nagging you.

If you make a mistake, you can always uninstall an update, and you can use Steve Gibson's Inspectre to make sure

Thanks. Unfortunately, InSpectre won't work for what I need. Simply disabling in registry still keeps "Total Media Theater" from running. I think I would have to uninstall/revert back to the original files for it to work. I will give DISM++ a try and see if that helps. If not on that particular system I may just need to leave things at Windows 7 SP1 and not do any updates (or at least updates past 12/15). Which shouldn't be a big deal as that system is only used as an HTPC and not for full work/online. However, it would have been nice to have an a completely up to date system sans the three problematic security updates.

Thanks, SIW2

As UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd has instructions to Add-Driver and ADD-PACKAGE to \mount\UpdatePack7Wim and copy WINRE.WIM to mount\UpdatePack7Wim\Windows\System32\Recovery to install.wim

Question:
- if you update install.wim with UpdatePack7R2*.exe + UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd there is no need to call :MountInstallWim that will also add Drivers and PACKAGES to install.wim, correct?

SIW2 said:

Correct.

If not using UpdatePack7R2*.exe:

check if the user has put drivers or updates in the folders - if yes, then you need to mount install.wim and get dism to install the stuff in the folders - and also copy in the new winre.wim if there is one.

If not using UpdatePack7R2*.exe I run :Single or :All images updates that call :MountInstallWim
that install the stuff in the Drivers / Update folders - and also copy in the new winre.wim, if there is one.

SEW2, here is the problem:
- Some install.wim doesn't have all four images and Win7 x86 installation disk also has a starter image.

- On :Chooseimage you have the options to select all (*) or single (1 to 4)
- How do I do a "for" to only allow the user to select one of the listed images refusing others not listed
(IF /I NOT '%CHOI%'=='1' IF /I NOT '%CHOI%'=='2' IF /I NOT '%CHOI%'=='3' IF /I NOT '%CHOI%'=='4' IF /I NOT '%CHOI%'=='*' goto :Chooseimage)?
- Does UpdatePack7R2* can deal with images with less or more than 4 images to update when all (*) is selected?
- Does your :All script deal with images with less or more than 4 images to update when all (*) is selected?
