so i had all updates for my windows 7 ultimate iso in one directory, both msu and cab files. but thanks to one misplaced punctuation mark in a cleanup script  i managed to delete everything on the drive containing that folder. i could retrieve most of my data with a recovery program, but some files, including all my updates, was retrieved as null byte files with scrambled filenames

 

i have some iso images with the wim containing all my updates,

 

is it possible to retrieve the updates from my wim images? or is there some log containing the KB numbers created from dism when i installed them?

 

the updates was installed with WinToolkit i think. i don't know if it leaves any traces or logs inside the wim i could use for reference..

 

hope for some positive feedbacks thanks in advance

never mind. couldn't wait so i deleted the wim images and are now starting the whole process over again

This command works offline as well

dism /online /Get-Packages /Format:Table>Packages.txt

i should have waited for another 30 minutes i'll keep it mind if i ever need it again
