Does anyone know if all the other versions had the same problem? I am looking to create some new images today

I am using the same .NET from Rick and it definitely does not install properly at all no matter where I put it in the order... yet it installs fine in the old WinToolKIt

Yes that seems to be exactly what's happening and I can't exactly understand a clear pattern since some items install but not completely and don't work. It even SEEMS possible that if the timing was correct the RDP issue may not be a factor with the new installer... and don't ask me to expalin how or why but the new installer seems to have solved this problem as well: http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/11541-can-anyone-help-me-with-this/?p=101650 I had given up on it

Well so far not so good... I did a new KUC integration with no RDP 8.0/8.1 and then used WinTollKit 1.4.34.2 for the SFX again... the same thing happened where installers ran at the same time and some didn't install while others didn't install properly/completely. The image below shows MSFixIt 50470 running which is actually the first item even before the 50531 which you can see at the top. It was running while MSXML4 installed The other image shows VBCFL installer running while the MS CodecPack ran and the .Net installer ran while all of the other installers were running. I am testing a WinToolkit141-27 run now also without RDP to determine if this is a problem with 1.4.34.2 EDIT: I have just finished the test with WinToolkit141-27 and it ran perfectly and all my SFX items installed... I will create a bug report later... I can barely keep my eyes open now... need some sleep

I'm doing a preliminary update on this because I am still running tests but I am running into the same problem with some new twists. I did an integration with the latest KUC and then ran the WinToolkit_1.4.34.2 to do my typical SFX part... basically the same as I was doing back in Nov... just newer tools and newer updates. I took a chance and integrated RDP 8.0 and 8.1 and sure enough the SFX went nuts BUT it didn't start early... just ran installers on top of each other and some didn't really run at all. I re-ordered some of the installers to see if it made any difference and the same crazy timing happened. I then decided to use WinToolkit141-27 and integrate them with that to see what happened.. sure enough the installer started too early just like the 1st pic above and failed on the DotNet install. Interesting to note is that their is no KB2847932 and I am using KB2574819-v2

Sorry I missed that... thanks

v1.4.34.2 When using the downloader I get the following error and it just hangs Title: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.ErrType: ErrorDescription: An unknown error has occurred and has been written to 'Logs\Errors.txt'Exception: Exception:***********************************Form: frmToolsManager (False)Status: ddAnti-Virus: FalseVersion: 1.4.34.2Unhandled Exception: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.StackTrace: at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile(Uri address, String fileName) at (Object , String , String ) at A..(Object , EventArgs ) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnShown(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeMarshaledCallbackHelper(Object obj) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.runTryCode(Object userData) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.ExecuteCodeWithGuaranteedCleanup(TryCode code, CleanupCode backoutCode, Object userData) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeMarshaledCallback(ThreadMethodEntry tme) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeMarshaledCallbacks()InnerException: Source: SystemTargetSite: Void DownloadFile(System.Uri, System.String)Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternalForm History: frmStartup, frmToolsManager, frmOptions, frmToolsManager, Open Forms: frmStartup, frmToolsManager, frmUCDownloading,

With the changes in Win Toolkit, I'm looking forward to your updated tutorial of how to use the new download methods, along with KUC, to get a fully updated source, in the easiest and most automated way possible. Cheers and Regards Well I started my testing yesterday and ran into soo many issues and problems... it's like relearning this all over again :doh: it will take me a bit to rethink things but I will get on it today and hopefully see some progress.

I actually took a few minutes to read the "about us" and what a great site they have... it is a little treasure chest for sure :-)

Amazing link.... thanks

LMAO That's hysterical

Didn't want anyone to think I am ignoring Christian... I am in direct contact with him and will try to assist as well as update my techniques with the newer tools.

If it is a working build (with problems fixed), I do not have a problem with that. As for the "McRip button", I am not sure what 'WHD' stands for, but if it is another way to get updates for Windows then that would probably be best. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/44645-Windows-Hotfix-Downloader-4-8

Too bad... I would gladly pay a subscription but frankly I doubt donations would ever work longterm

No slap that's a very valid question and I think these are often overlooked. They are various MS fixes for specific items and released in .msi format. I can't actually pinpoint how I found them because it was over a period of time that I found them all but I did make a recent post about them and thanks to PointZero I learned that Komm actually maintains a repo of them. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/30670-KUC-a-utility-to-check-you-Windows-7-2008-R2-WMS-or-Win-embedded-update-status/page50?p=832738&viewfull=1#post832738 http://www.windows-update-checker.com/hotfix/x64/Client%20and%20Server/Additions%20%28NON%20.msu%29/ ...and yes that's the method I am looking at now SAD3 @Ricktendo That's a neat idea I never thought of that

I wanted to provide a bit more of an update on this so here goes: I have completely modified my method of doing integration's and with everyone's help the method now works GREAT. Its even much quicker to do AND provides a finished product that is quicker to install... HOMERUN!!! I also expect that it will be easier to maintain which means a tremendous amount to me because frankly this had gotten so overwhelming that I was spending more time prepping and maintaining than I was producing a finished product. Basically I use KUC to integrate updates OFFLINE and then I use WinToolkit to integrate my SFX items, ONLINE only updates, reg settings, tweaks, scripts etc. The OFFLINE KUC takes 30 min for 297 Normal updates and 30 min for 186 LDR updates, I do need to run a 2nd additional update pass for KB2736782 but that takes 1 minute so it's negligible. I then have an image that's ready for my next items. My WinToolKIt step adds the following: MicrosoftFixit50470::/quiet /norestart;NO;638.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50470.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50531::/quiet /norestart;NO;646.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50531.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50688::/quiet /norestart;NO;655.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50688.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50848_KB2665946::/quiet /norestart;NO;964.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50848_KB2665946.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50877::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.00 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50877.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50897::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.12 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50897.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50907::/quiet /norestart;NO;961.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50907.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50908::/quiet /norestart;NO;965.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50908.msi;Always Installed MicrosoftFixit50939::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.03 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\01-MSFixit\MicrosoftFixit50939.msi;Always Installed rootsupd::/Q;NO;383.63 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\02-Roots\rootsupd.exe;Always Installed rvkroots::/Q;NO;160.16 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\02-Roots\rvkroots.exe;Always Installed Kels_Runtimes::;NO;6.24 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\03-KelsRuntime\Kels_Runtimes.EXE;Always Installed VBCFJRedist_AIO_x86_x64::/y /norestart;NO;26.40 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\04-VisualC\VBCFJRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe;Always Installed Windows6.1-KB2861191-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;314.14 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2861191-x64.msu;Always Installed Windows6.1-KB2861698-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;701.69 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2861698-x64.msu;Always Installed Windows6.1-KB2863240-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;472.76 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2863240-x64.msu;Always Installed Windows6.1-KB2889631-x64::N/A (Not Needed);NO;14.11 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\Windows6.1-KB2889631-x64.msu;Always Installed dotNetFx451::/y /norestart;NO;46.16 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\05-DotNet\dotNetFx451.exe;Always Installed MSXML4-KB2758694-ENU::/quiet /norestart;NO;1.97 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\06-MSXML4\MSXML4-KB2758694-ENU.exe;Always Installed mbamv1updatex64::/quiet /norestart;NO;2.79 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\07-KB2724074-BitLocker\mbamv1updatex64.exe;Always Installed MicrosoftCodecPack_amd64::/qb /norestart;NO;13.64 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\08-MS-CodecPack\MicrosoftCodecPack_amd64.msi;Always Installed Silverlight_x64::/q /norestart;NO;15.14 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\10-Silverlight\Silverlight_x64.msi;Always Installed java::-ai1;NO;28.49 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\11-Java\java.exe;Always Installed FS_AiO_x64_full::;NO;44.49 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\12-Flash-Shockwave-AIO\FS_AiO_x64_full.exe;Always Installed AdbeRdr::;NO;58.34 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\13-Acrobat\AdbeRdr.exe;Always Installed KB890830-x64::/Q;NO;19.93 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\14-KB890830-MSRT\KB890830-x64.exe;Always Installed mbam-setup::/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART;NO;9.81 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\15-MBAM\mbam-setup.exe;Always Installed MBAMfiles::;NO;179.00 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\15-MBAM\MBAMfiles.EXE;Always Installed MBAM_Step2::;NO;97.79 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\15-MBAM\MBAM_Step2.exe;Always Installed MSEInstallx64::/s /runwgacheck /o;NO;12.85 MB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\16-MSE\MSEInstallx64.exe;Always Installed MSE_Step2::;NO;962.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\16-MSE\MSE_Step2.EXE;Always Installed cleanup::;NO;166.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\17-Cleanup\cleanup.EXE;Always Installed Finish::;NO;166.50 KB;R:\_Step-2-KUC\18-Finish\Finish.EXE;Always Installed I run a few RunOnce scripts to perform the following: (with the exception of the office install these are very quick items that take only a few minutes) Remove_OLD-IE 3rd reboot Phase 2RunOnce_WU_KB2533552 4th reboot Phase 3RunOnce_WU_Update 5th reboot Phase 4RunOnce_RemoveOld 6th reboot Phase 5office_install 7th reboot Phase 6 I did try to test the finish script shutdown command one more time using the various methods discussed here and nothing worked except the poweroff.exe method so I am sticking with that. I will now work on the next area which is adding drivers to this working image. I am not sure yet what method I will use so I am open to suggestions, especially since the ones I have received so far have made a world of improvement for me. My THANKS to ALL!!!!

Thanks!!! I should have searched before I posted because that was exactly the issue and now all is fine again.

Thanks!!!! That seems to be exactly the cause of my integration issues as well... I should have searched but I had such tunnel vision since I was doing a complete change that I neglected to. I stopped integrating RDP offline with KUC and instead now do it online after login and all is once again fine.

Thank you guys!!!! That seems to be exactly the cause of my integration issues as well. I stopped integrating RDP offline with KUC and instead do it online after login and all is once again fine.

Well now I am thinking the same thing since I don't play any games at all :doh: Only old games? In this case I don't need it, I play only Tetris and Flipper . Thiersee

@Etz Thanks.. just got home from work and anxious to try my next round of tests with the info you all provided but I will wait until I am fresh in the AM.

Thanks I responded and will start from scratch again later

@RicaNeaga Thanks.. that gives me a direction to look at... I don't do WMF but I do integrate KB2592687 and VBC AIO... I just had a system crash and lost a few hrs of work so I need to take a break now and I will start later with a clean integration.. THANKS

WOW now I'm experiencing some major timing change in the integration process and once again I am scratching my head becuase this changes everything again... http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/30670-KUC-a-utility-to-check-you-Windows-7-2008-R2-WMS-or-Win-embedded-update-status/page50?p=833975&viewfull=1#post833975
