Having quite the issue with applying updates to a Server 2008 WIM file.

I've copied my Server 2008 install disk to a Windows 7 Machine, I've also installed WAIK on this computer.

First I mounted my wim:
dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\2008\Sources\install.wim /name:"Windows Longhorn SERVERSTANDARD" /MountDir:C:\WIM

then I tried to apply my folder of updates:
dism /Image:c:\wim /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\updates

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7600.16385


Error: 2

An error occurred while processing the command.
For more information, review the log files.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Output from the log file:

I'm not sure why its failing, I get error code 2, but I'm not sure why. I've scoured this forum and google with no helpful results.
What am I doing wrong?

point to a MSU file, not a folder.

But I tried it with Vista and it also failed, although WAIK docu says DISM wotks for Vista/Server 2008 WIMs.

That was the first thing I thought and that as well right after I posted:
dism /Image:c:\WIM /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\updates\Windows6.0-KB2588516-x86.msu

Output:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7600.16385

Error: 87

An error occurred while processing the command.
For more information, review the log files.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Log scrapings from my 2008 server using dism from waik, got the same error there:

The original error you were getting was "0x80070002" = ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. This is usually caused by a little known feature of DISM, that it is horribly case sensitive and treats C:\path... as different from c:\Path... even though Windows explorer and the command line see them as the same. Note, if copying and pasting text from a text editor, smart quotes are different characters than regular quotes, etc... and will generate the same error.

So best advice is to locate the correct path in windows explorer and copy the entire path from the explorer bar as it is actually displayed. You can also copy it from the command line. This will copy the correct capitalization into the command.

In the second post, error code "0x80070057" = "The parameter is incorrect", so something is incorrect in the command you are trying to execute.

Yikes. Reminds me of Linux where cd Home and cd home are two different directories. I'll give it a try and report my results. Thanks leen2!

Interesting results:

1. I can't seem to point DISM to a directory of cabs or msu files
2. DISM refuses to accept an MSU file as a package using the /PackagePath command.
3. I specifically have to tell it the cab to install. with /Add-Package /PackagePath:"C:\path\update.cab"

On the bright side, at least it isn't imagex and pkgmgr... I was trying that as well and I do not like it at all.

So I guess I have my answer. Just needed a nudge in the right direction. Thank you all!

And giving back to the community... scripts I came up with:

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b *.msu') do expand %%a -F:* C:\<TEMP CAB FILE FOLDER>
imagex.exe /mountrw <WIM FILE> <INDEX> c:\<MOUNT FOLDER>
cd /<TEMP CAB FILE FOLDER>
for /f "tokens=*" %%b in ('dir /b *.xml') do start /w pkgmgr /n:"C:\cabs\%%b" /o:"C:\<MOUNT FOLDER>;c:\<MOUNT FOLDER>\windows" /l:c:\temp\insert.log
(insert error checking)
imagex /unmount /commit c:\<MOUNT FOLDER>

Same thing with DISM:

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b *.msu') do expand %%a -F:* C:\<TEMP CAB FILE FOLDER>
dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:<WIM FILE> <INDEX> /MountDir:C:\<MOUNT FOLDER>
for /f "tokens=*" %%b in ('dir /b C:\<TEMP CAB FILE FOLDER>\*.cab') do dism /Image:c:\<MOUNT FOLDER> /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\<TEMP CAB FILE FOLDER>\%%b
(add error checking)
dism /Unmount-WIM /MountDir:C:\<MOUNT FOLDER> /commit

(Specifically for Vista/Server 2008 SP2 WIMs)

I've come across some other issues that the Win7 version of DISM has against a Vista or 2008 source - it's worth noting though, that DISM is just acting as a frontend for pkgmgr in this instance (you can see it in the logs), whereas on Win7 DISM does what pkgmgr did on Vista/2008. You'll notice in the log that the pkgmgr command line that is being passed contains /ip and /m, which means servicing a Vista or 2008 image via Win7's DISM cannot be pointed to a directory that doesn't already contain the requisite CAB and catalog files - ergo, the package you're trying to pass in cannot be an MSU package

. That's the issue - you must manually expand the MSU file into it's CAB format before DISM on Win7 will be able to use those packages to service 2008 or Vista images (because of the options it chooses to pass to pkgmgr, which is actually doing the work).

Your script handles this already, so it's probably a better option in the meantime

Got some Microsoft support on this issue. The solution is exactly as I thought it was:

1. Install Server 2008
2. Capture to a WDS server running the latest WDS/WAIK
3. Use DISM on the image.

But this ruins the point, I want to use original WIM image for software source integrity. Also makes the results much harder to reproduce.
