KUC Feature Packages IIS - Internet Information Services - formerly called Internet Information Server – is a web server software application and set of feature extension modules created by Microsoft for use with Microsoft Windows.[2] IIS 7.5 supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SMTP and NNTP. It is an integral part of the Windows Server family of products (and their client counterparts in the cases of Windows NT 4.0 andWindows 2000), as well as certain editions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. IIS is not turned on by default when Windows is installed. The IIS Manager is accessed through the Microsoft Management Console or Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. IIS is the third most popular web server in the world. MSMQ - Message Queuing (MSMQ) technology enables applications running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks and systems that may be temporarily offline. Applications send messages to queues and read messages from queues. NFS - Microsoft® Services for Network File System (NFS) provides a file sharing solution for enterprises that have a mixed Windows and UNIX environment. With Microsoft Services for NFS, you can transfer files between computers running Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 R2 and UNIX operating systems using the NFS protocol. SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for network management. It is used for collecting information from, and configuring, network devices, such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. SUA - Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA), the evolution of the Interix subsystem that formerly shipped with Windows Services for UNIX 3.5, is a multi-user UNIX environment that operates on computers running Windows server-class operating systems. SUA and its accompanying utilities provide you with an environment that resembles UNIX-based operating systems. It also includes case-sensitive file names, job control, compilation tools, and the use of over 300 UNIX commands, utilities, and shell scripts. Because SUA is designed to run atop the Windows kernel, it offers true UNIX-based functionality without any emulation. Media - The N edition and the KN edition of the Windows 7 operating system do not include Windows Media Player or other Windows Media-related technologies, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker. Therefore, you must install a separate media player in order to do any of the following GroupP - is a feature of the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems that control the working environment of user accounts and computer accounts. Group Policy provides the centralized management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and users' settings in an Active Directory environment. VMdriver - The Virtual Machine Network Driver allows the Device emulator's OS (or even the Virtual PC OS, as the case may be) to emulate its own network connection. Because the physical network interface on the host machine is now "virtualized," you have a way to get two IP Addresses - one for the host PC, and one for the operating system that is running within the Device Emulator (or Virtual PC). Device Emulator users using the VMNet Driver can connect to the host machine over TCP or UDP as the alternative to the standard "Activesync over DMA" solution.

Therefore, starting with the release of Windows Vista and continuing in Windows 7, the Windows Help program will not ship as a feature of Windows." Fmapi - File Management API - "provides a way for developers to discover and restore deleted files from unencrypted volumes. FMAPI also provides the ability to use a password or recovery key file for the discovery and recovery of deleted files from Bitlocker encrypted volumes. Recovery of files from other types of encrypted volumes is not supported by FMAPI. Note FMAPI can only be used in the Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later. Applications that use FMAPI must license WinPE." MSAgent - "Microsoft Agent is deprecated as of Windows 7, and may be unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows. Microsoft Agent is a set of software services that supports interactive characters within the Microsoft Windows display. Some examples of the Microsoft Agent characters are the Office Assistants. The characters included Clipit (the paper clip), The Dot (a shape-shifting and color-shifting smiley-faced red ball), Hoverbot (a robot), and The Genius (a caricature of Albert Einstein). The characters would interact with users by offering help with tasks currently being performed." NTBackup - "The utility restores backups that are made on Windows XP and on Windows Server 2003 to computers that are running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2."

Not sure what went right but I copied my extracted Windows 7 source folder onto a virtual machine, used Win Toolkit to integrate all of the updates that I got from KUC and then made an ISO using Win Toolkit. It installed!! Only thing is it's showing 7 important updates for 260mb! Guess it's time to research all the extra check boxes in KUC and download the rest of what I need and get that into a working install to see what Windows Update says I need after that.

That was my next guess, just tried it without the 2660075 update and still getting failed installations with error 0x80070570.

KB2660075 PROBLEMS Ok so I've got it down to where I know I'm having problems with just KB2660075 but I'm not sure how to fix it. I can have everything else good but that needs to install but when I install it, KUC says 2 packages of 2660075 had problems installing. My point I guess is that it's repeatable for me and isolated but I don't know how to fix it. I've tried manually adding it through DISM both normally and just the LDR version and each time KUC recognizes them as being bad. Maybe that MSU is bad and I need to re-download it? If that's the case then how does DISM say it installed it successfully? I'm not sure, maybe if it is the MSU, maybe that's what's been causing my installation errors. ======================================================== Ran the commandlettes again. First I did the remove_old to get rid of the "bf" 2660075 packages but once it removed the "bf" one successfully, it couldn't find the SP1_bf. I pulled the packages.txt file again and verified there were no entries for any 2660075's. Then I used the copy_files_2_add and the update commandlettes and then checked to see if 2660075 had been added back in since it was one of the packages KUC needed to add but it wasn't there so I went ahead and used DISM to manually /add-package. Pulled the packages.txt again and this time there is only 1 entry for it and not a "bf" version. So I run KUC again which thankfully shows no bad packages and just 1 to remove and 1 to add but they are both 2660075!! When looking at the packages_out file it shows this: 2660075 6.1.1.0 Install Pending Update 3/7/2013 3:39 AM 2660075 Windows6.1-KB2660075-x64.msu OK/REMOVE LDR version available. You can REMOVE this GDR version! 2660075 6.1.1.0 Update BF_2660075 Windows6.1-KB2660075-x64.msu ADD Update is missing! So basically when KUC installs 2660075, I get bad packages but if I install it manually KUC recognizes it as a good package but that I should remove the GDR version and replace it with the LDR version. When I've done that before I get bad packages! Geez, this is a damn merry-go-round!! Oh well I'm going to give it a shot.
