Adding patches/softwares to Win7 x64 ISO?

[wielkaberta]

Hello I've been sometimes reading number of threads but haven't seen with such problem so let me introduce the problem:

I have got an Windows 7 x64 PL with SP1 ISO.

What should I do to "add" the patches (those KBXXXXXXX files) from Windows Update to ISO. Is there a way to "put" .NET Framework 4.0?

I guess that "add" is very relative term as I suppose, that the new .iso file can be created at the end of the process leaving the old .iso as it was.

What I mean I've seen terms like Windows Automated Installation Kit, imagex, sysprep, OOBE, but I can hardly figure how they works.

Now there is a huge problem. I had really difficulties with understanding stuff during reading numerous articles which were telling how to make similar things (or just my guessing told so).
There are few options I could tell by some wild guessing and some little experience, please tell me which of them I would actually do to solve the problem? Here are some wild guesses:
1. Editing the original .iso file with some software, thus creating the new iso.
2. Making fresh installation of Windows 7 (whether by Virtual Machine or on real hardware). Enabling audit mode, but then I don't quite get it about Out of Box Experience (OOBE), set up the things I want to and by imagex(???) create the .iso of it?
3. Creating Win PE which will be (????) a background for "typical" Windows Installation?

Does this problem have something common with unattended installation?

Any respond will be appreciated.
