Slipstream-Windows-Updates-Guide

This guide is intended to help others figure out how to slipstream updates into a windows update iso or usb device

Needed:

• dism (Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool) ** https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825236.aspx
• imgburn (http://www.imgburn.com/)
• Rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/)
• Windows DVD iso (https://gist.github.com/mkuba50/27c909501cbc2a4f169be4b4075a66ff)
• wsusoffline (http://www.wsusoffline.net/)

Getting Ready

First you need to extract the windows iso. To make things easy, I recommend making a folder at the root of your c drive, i used c:\wincd\

Here are the path's I used, yours may be different... c:\wincd\dismmount <- folder that dism mounts the install.wim into c:\wincd\wsusoffline <- location of wsusoffline c:\wincd\Win 8.1 disks <- location of windows iso's C:\wincd\Win 8.1 disks\Win8.1_English_x64 <- location of extracted windows disks

Once your iso has been extracted, move the sources\install.wim file to c:\wincd\

You may wish to rename this file install-orig.wim and make a copy to work with.

now, open a command prompt as ADMINISTRATOR

type dism

you should see:

C:\wincd>dism

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031

Followed by many details about how to use it. If you don't see this, then you need to install dism.

Explore the install.wim

type the following: dism /get-imageinfo /imagefile:c:\wincd\install.wim You should see something like this:

C:\wincd>dism /get-imageinfo /imagefile:c:\wincd\install.wim

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.17031

Details for image : c:\wincd\install.wim

Index : 1 Name : Windows 8.1 Pro Description : Windows 8.1 Pro Size : 13,185,962,705 bytes

Index : 2 Name : Windows 8.1 Description : Windows 8.1 Size : 13,116,079,066 bytes

The operation completed successfully.

As you can see, my iso includes 2 indexes; Win 8.1 Pro & Win 8.1. I don't actually need to have the Win 8.1 included, so i'm going to extract the first index from install.wim into install1.wim. dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:c:\wincd\install.wim /destinationimagefile:c:\wincd\install1.wim /sourceindex:1

C:\wincd>dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:c:\wincd\install.wim /destinationimagefile:c:\wincd\install1.wim /sourceindex:1

Now we will mount the install1.wim

dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\wincd\install1.wim /mountdir:c:\wincd\dismmount /index:1

C:\wincd>dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\wincd\install1.wim /mountdir:c:\wincd\dismmount /index:1

Mounting image [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully.

Install Updates

We now have the install1.wim file mounted to c:\wincd\dismmount. Now we just need to install the updates to the mounted folder.

You can use wsusoffline to download all available updates, or you can pre-select a few. I HIGHLY recommend adding kb3021910 which fixes windows update.

Single Package: dism /image:C:\wincd\dismmount /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\wincd\updates\windows8.1-kb3021910-x64_e291c0c339586e79c36ebfc0211678df91656c3d.msu Folder of Packages: dism /image:C:\wincd\dismmount /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\wincd\wsuso ffline\client\w63-x64\glb

Commit changes back to the install1.wim

dism /image:c:\wincd\dismmount /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore

Final Steps

Now copy/move the install1.wim file back into the extracted windows disk. make sure to rename it to install.wim.

Then use Imgburn to recreate the iso. make sure to make it bootable and use the same bootsector as the original disk.

You may also want to include this in a EI.CFG file, also in sources.
