Yes, it's updated with same rollup the Regular Addon is technically the same thing, it's eliminate "netfx_Full_LDR.mzz" file which is around 200 MB + Windows6.1-KB958488-v6001-*.msu which is +4MB (x86), -7MB (x64)

I really don't know, i'm not involved in the deal

Well, currently there are no "actual" duplicates in the list so your suggestion doesn't apply

IE10 Updates has IE10- prefix in ther names, whereas IE11 Updates has IE11- prefix so what is the same between them exactly? and about the folders, IE10 and IE11 are unique to each other, so users who wants IE11 will not download any IE10 related, and vice versa

1. The date can only be changed by installing the system, sysprep, capture new image 2. This is the default behavior of imagex.exe (the tool used for setting description), only one line allowed but setup is smart enough to display description as lines

There is nothing wrong (explicitly ) IE Prerequisites are clear enough (i'm thinking of changing the way for providing them to a single text file, this way we can get rid of the duplication situation) AD LDS & RSAT duplicates are necessary to have them in both locations, because each of them contain components that are applicable for both packages same for RDC8.1 and RDP8.0 this also includes KB2834140, it's bi-update (meaning its components are applicable with and without Platform KB2670838) IE10 CABs: KB2764913 is the same IE-Hyphenation-en, i changed the name to KB2764913 to avoid duplication with IE11 Hyphenation same thing goes for KB2764916 and IE-Spelling-en KB2764916 + KB2764913 are neutral packages (meaning x86 and x64 are the same file) so, you need to delete IE-Hyphenation-en + IE-Spelling-en from IE10 CABs folder KB2892074 and KB2893294 and KB2900635: apparently those duplication is a temporary error or something caused by WHD you can safely delete Windows8.1-KB2900635-x86 from x64 folder and redownload KB2892074, KB2893294 for windows8.1

How did you got 523 hotfixes? there are curently about 330 only and all updates in the list are total 589 (with duplicates) the duplicates are about 29

General - Security - Hotfix.. are the main updates that are safe to use for all systems regarding the difference between Additional & Extra Categories, the reason for having those two categories is for better organizing and to ease the download process for the average user Additional Updates Category aims to include the "Special" updates that are common or most useful this includes: Updates for Specific Features that does not exists in All Windows Editions: GroupPolicy IIS (Internet Information Services) MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queue) NFS (Network File System) SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) SUA (Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications) WindowsMediaCenter VM (Virtual Machine Drivers) Updates or Packages that adds more features or have special functionality: Not Integratable (Exclusive Updates for online live system) Platform (Platform Update 2670838) and its Updates SUR Tool (System Update Readiness tool) WAT (Windows Activation Technologies) WinHelp (WinHlp32 app for the legacy Windows Help format) WMF4.0 (Windows Media Foundation) and its updates RDC8.1 (Remote Desktop Client 8.1) and its Prerequisites and Updates RDP8.0 (Remote Desktop Protocol 8.0) and its Prerequisites and Updates WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment image) WUClient (Windows Update Client 7.6.7600.256) IE11 (Internet Explorer 11) including: Prerequisites (updates needs to be installed prior installing IE11) CABs (for integration offline or online) EXE (for standard online install) Updates (Cumulative security updates) Extra Updates Category will contain the rest of additional updates this includes: Packages that adds more features or have special functionality but not needed for most users: DCA2.0 (DirectAccess_Connectivity_Assistant) and its updates File.Management.API Microsoft.Agent NT.Backup.Utility WIF (Windows Identity Foundation) and its updates MediaFeaturePack (for N and KN editions) MediaFormatFeaturePack (for N and KN editions) RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) and its updates AD LDS (Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services) and its updates VirtualPC and its updates French.Enterprise pl-pl (for Polish Windows 7) BrowserChoice (for EA users) Updates or Packages that has newer releases: I E8 IE9 IE10 (same as IE11) WMF3.0 (Windows Media Foundation) and its updates

Here are all "about:blank" i found in my registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UnattendBackup\ActiveSetup\Home_Page]"Home_Page"="about:blank"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Start Page"="about:blank""Default_Page_URL"="about:blank"[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Start Page"="about:blank""Default_Page_URL"="about:blank"[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Start Page"="about:blank""Default_Page_URL"="about:blank"

He needs to take ownership of the Gadgets folder: takeown /f "folder path" /r /d y icacls "folder path" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /T

1) deintergrate is not possible because the addon set and modifies registry settings in the image but you could try to integrate newer version in image contains older addon version, let me know if it's working 2) as bphlpt explained, .NET 3.5 Family is a completely separate package software than .NET 4.x Family

for imagex: /CONFIG custom.ini for dism: /ConfigFile:custom.ini

Hi can you add an option to choose a custom wimscript.ini configuration file for capture image process? maybe also more flags (Professional, Core, ProfessionalWMC...) thanks

Updated links

Note: Not to mention its enormous size, KB947821 should not be used offline at all (integrated or silent install), it's ment only for verifying Online system Updates and Packages

You can not integrate these updates in "Additional": Not Integratable SUR Tool WinRE WMF4.0 and you have to integrate Platform before IE11 CABs BTW, Additional take the precedence over Extra

I reviewed the list to the mentioned above, but i was waiting to include it with patch tuesday changes, sorry about that i updated the list now. KB2896820 supersede KB2768486 partially (IE prerequisite component) KB2870165 was taking the same job as KB2896820 KB2779272 is just a companion update with KB2756651 to complete KB2729094 (original prerequisite) supersedence, but it's not related to IE prerequisite component. again, sorry for the mix up

So for x64 2905569 instead of 2896820, right? This is kind of useless btw, now that finally integrates IE at the end of the queue, so prerequisites are just for theoretical purposes For Win Toolkit users, of course, that use updates from WHD That's right, but only if 2905569 installed in LDR mode, so i wanted the list to be similar for x86 and x64 also true but lets say some user just want to integrate IE11, then we need the prerequisites list

mooms did a great job in explaining the situation nevertheless, here is the current list: IE11: 2670838, 2756651, 2786081, 2882822, 2896820, 2834140, 2888049 IE10: 2670838, 2756651, 2786081, 2878068, 2896820

Almost all Hotfixes do not get distributed or show through WU the reason why it's prerequisite because it contains the latest version of SegoeUI font

KB2726535 is superseded by KB2768486 & KB2905454 The IE11 prerequisites components of KB2726535 is superseded by KB2768486, and KB2905454 completes the supersedence so, KB2768486 becomes the new prerequisite instead of KB2533623 & KB2731771 BTW, those KB article are not accurate, if you want to see the actual or complete list of prerequisites check SETUPDOWNLOADLIST.txt that is included with IE11.exe package (after you extract it)

Yes, it's only have one hotfix KB2908383 the reason i don't list it, because it was not released as separete patch or hotfix, but microsoft released it as new .NET 4.5.1 full installer

Updated.

No problem and thanks to @bphlpt for clarifing things up
