Hello MSFNusers,

December 20th Post

Vista MasterUpdatePack
This Vista UpdatePack contains 350+ packages you can use to update your Vista Installation Image (install.wim). All integration methods should work with these updates, no errors should occur. However in some situations some updates may fail to integrate even though this pack has been tested several times every month. Depending on the integration method you are using the whole integration process might fail or just a single update integration fails. Due the large number hotfixes I decided to skip all update descriptions and list. You have basically two options integrate all updates here avalaible or just only integrate the updates that normally would come through your Windows Update Client. That will be about 40-50 update packages.

Vista MasterUpdatePack applies to all Vista Image entries in your install.wim (MUP is language NEUTRAL).
The Extras .7z pack will only apply to Vista Ultimate Editions.

As addition I added updates to update your Office 2007 Installation. This works very easily the only thing you need to do: create a directory named Updates in your Office07 dir. Place in that folder all msp files and those will be applied during office 2007 installation. The extra "Save as PDF Plugin" needs to be called externally e.g. with WPI or CMDscript.

There are a few things you might miss after applying all these tons of updates and extra packages. Yes there is more.. think like: UXTheme, TCPIP.SYS, Themes, Capicom. Therefore I created an extra pack called "CustomPack". This pack needs to be copied manually to your Vmount directory. This pack wil be later available.

i got the Drivers error too.
maybe the drivers have to be all inside that root folder?
i have one folder for each driver inside drivers root.

also, how can i tell if the updates are integrated. i briefly looked at the command windows and some were saying that the process completely successfully and other said that it couldn't find a patter like * or something like that.

With the 1.0 tool you can choose to install all at once, or one by one.
Make sure you dont hide the command prompt.

And how to see if they are installed, i thought you already asked.

Just use waik so see the packages.

i just noticed some estrange things going around the updates.
i was using a retail copy of spanish vista but the version number is different from the one i have at home.
spanish 6.0.6000.16385
english 6.0.6000.16386

i tried the english version and the integrated updates showed up so i guess they weren't working with spanish build.

i will investigate the build number differences in these retail copies.

[ajua]

just a quick question about updates?
wich are the ones that microsoft labeled as critical and wich ones as recommended?
im asking because i dont want to install all that insane list because many are configuration-specific.

many thanks.

You are looking for a regular updatepack, can be found here: http://www.ryanvm.ne...opic.php?t=5501

[ajua]

those at RyamVM are the Critical and Recommended?
thanks for the link but it seems that i better start reading all releases to know what each one is for.

you got the last pre-RTM Build of Vista This is cool The original RTM should be 16384, but MS made 2 recompiles. Your 16385 and the RTM which was shipped, the 16386.
