    As mentioned in my post #15 that KB3177467 supersedes/replaces KB3020369 this is true.
    However, it is NOT suitable as a prerequisite for the offline installation of the KB3125574!
    correct - that's cause like I said NO OTHER UPDATE can be integrated offline after you've integrated KB3177467. basically it's a "final" update (any other update after that has to be added online)

    as to why MS decided to make
    KB3177467 final - go figure probably to piss us off

    Also, I found a possible reason why I was successfully able to integrate KB3020369 and then it gave me an error when I tried to integrate KB3125574. I have read on a couple of sites that KB3125574 needs to be done as a seperate session. By this I assume that they mean once the KB3020369 has been applied and completed successfully then I need to Unmount and Re-Mount to continue? Or is there something else that I need to do?
    nope all the updates in my list (including the SSU & superrollup) I added in 1 session only unmounted once (after all the updates been added)

    Thanks 7point5,

    I am going to run the updates below tomorrow and see how I get on. Do the DISM commands look good to you?

    KB3020369
    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-kb3020369-x64_5393066469758e619f21731fc31ff2d109595445.msu

    KB3125574
    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-kb3125574-v4-x64_2dafb1d203c8964239af3048b5dd4b1264cd93b9.msu

    KB3172605
    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-kb3172605-x64_2bb9bc55f347eee34b1454b50c436eb6fd9301fc.msu

    KB3179573
    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-kb3179573-x64_0ec541490b3f7b02e41f26cb2c444cbd9e13df4d.msu

    KB4074598
    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-kb4074598-x64_ 87a0c86bfb4c01d9c32d2cd3717b73c1b83cb798.msu

    The .msu's are not in the file name in the folder but I added them to the DISM command.

    If that all works I assume that a Windows Update will only produce:

    KB3184143
    KB3161102
    KB4019990
    KB4054998
    KB4018271
    KB3177467
    ...etc.

    Thanks in advance.

    dunno tbh DISM command syntax vary a lot with every OS you'll have to trial & error but you'll know at once if it's the good syntax or not
    what environment you running dism from?

    Hi 7point5,

    I am going to be running it in Windows 7 with WAIK installed and then test in VirtualBox.
    Out of interest, what did you use to integrate the updates?

    Thanks in advance.

    I ran windows 7 PE x64
    basically a mini version of win7 it's a recovery environment the iso's really small only 160mb which I installed on a usb flash drive (with freeware Rufus app to make it bootable it keeps things simple)

    in fact it's so small that it don't even have windows explorer.exe so to be able to see the folders & files in that environment I added another small freeware app on the flash drive: Explorer64.exe (it's an alternative to the standard windows explorer)

    once the install.wim (and possible the boot.wim if I edit it to integrate drivers) is modified I make a new iso out of the original win7 SP1 iso then test it in virtualbox too



    anyway if ur running from a normal win7 then syntax should be the same & what you wrote looks ok

    BUT if you add large packages (like the superrollup) you could get an error tho can't remember which exactly. if so you must use the /scratchdir option to the addpackage command (and use a "scratch directory" large enough many GBs where dism can store temporary files during the integration of the packag. that dir must be NTFS of cos & it's even better if it's on a different hard drive)
    so syntax kinda like this:

    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /scratchdir:Z:\ /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-kb3125574-v4-x64_2dafb1d203c8964239af3048b5dd4b1264cd93b9.msu

    I setup:

    A folder: C:\Win7ISO (and extracted the ISO files to it).
    A folder: C:\Win7ISOUpdates (and put the 6 downloaded updates above from Windows Catalog into it).
    A folder: C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine (this was created by the mkdir C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine command).

    I ran:

    Dism /Get-WIMInfo /WimFile:C:\Win7ISO\sources\install.wim - Successful.
    mkdir C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine - Successful.

    Dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:C:\Win7ISO\sources\install.wim /Name:"Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM" /MountDir:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine - Successful.

    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-KB3020369-x64.msu - Successful.

    Dism /Image:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Win7ISOUpdates\windows6.1-KB3125574-v4-x64.msu - Unsuccessful.

    Everything went well until I tried to integrate the Convenience Rollup Update Package KB3125574 ABOVE:
    It said that the Component store had been corrupted. It gave me an error: 0x80073712
    This evidently means that the file required to Windows Update Centre is damaged or missing?
    Thanks 7point5,

    The above quote which I posted earlier in this thread was how things went when I first tried this.

    Thanks in advance.
