harkaz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I know that this is possible using Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool (DISM). However, I have some questions about this:Are the updates installed offline or applied when Windows PE starts?Can I install updates for all the included in the boot.wim image system components?Finally, is there a way to install these updates after applying boot.wim to hdd - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722114(v=ws.10).aspx describes it - and then recapture boot.wim?

Tripredacus Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 What updates are you putting in the boot.wim? I've only installed a hotfix to a boot.wim ONCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkaz Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 What updates are you putting in the boot.wim? I've only installed a hotfix to a boot.wim ONCE.Thanks for the answer. The truth is I don't want something specific to import I just checked windows pe 3.0 files version and as it is the SP1 original 6.1.7601.17514 but not the latest one (6.1.7601.17965) I wondered if there was a way to update Windows PE files to that version (I have already updated install.wim to 6.1.7601.17965 by including all post-sp1 updates).Any help would be grealy appreciated.harkaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The WinPE 3.1 is available as a download in the WAIK for Windows 7 SP1. Its really a waste for the most part. Is there a specific reason why you want the WinPE 3.1? I skipped it entirely and went from WinPE 3.0 directly to WinPE 4.0. Whatever new goodies were available in 3.1 didn't really effect anything I was doing, so I skipped it.Alternatively, you could make a copy of a Windows 7 SP1 DVD's boot.wim, which should be a 3.1 and then change the winpeshl.ini or whatever thing launches Setup.exe by default.
