Интеграция ie11 в дистрибутив windows 7 dism

If you created AIO Windows 7 distro and want to add updates/drivers/IE9/product key etc. then here is how:

Requirements:

Machine with Windows 7 SP1 x64 for optimum conditions
Windows 7 SP1 x64 (real distro or image, if it’s image then also a software that works with them. Alcohol, Daemon, PismoMount … even Windows 8! I don’t care)
Updates
IE9 (optional)
.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 updates (optional)
Drivers which you want to add (expanded drivers only because setups, exes etc won’t work but we’ll talk about this later ….)

This guide also works for x32 users they just need to do this for x86

This even works for Windows 8 with its updates.

Intro​

——————————————————

The best way to know what updates you need is just do a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 SP1 on a machine you want. Install network drivers, connect to Internet, run Windows Updates and get the list of all updates you need. So you will know which updates you will need to add to your win7 distro. Yeah I know this process will take 20 minutes…. Actually a lot of Microsoft updates have got rather to do with the security issues and kernel bugs (remote code execution etc) than performance but anyway ….

——————————————————

To save you all from hassle I did a list of all updates you need. (November, 2011).
The updates always change (some get removed with new ones, new updates will appear etc.)

Improtant: KB2533552 cannot be added so just don’t download/add it. And for some odd reason Windows6.1-KB2536276-v2-x64.msu cannot be added either.

Download them manually from Microsoft. Some of them will ask for validation on Microsoft site. Everyone who wants x86 will have to download x86 versions for their x86 win7 sp1.

Updates preparation​

————————————

Let’s start. So you downloaded all your updates and inserted Windows 7 SP1 x64 dvd (or mounted its image).

Let’s say the letter of your optical drive/virtual rom is D
Open command line as Admin and enter these lines one by one:

mkdir C:win7
robocopy D: C:win7 /E /A-:R

This will create a folder for win7 distro and will copy all files from dvd/image to there.
Copying from actual dvd will take some time so be patient.

mkdir C:imagemount
mkdir C:imageupdates
cd c:image

This creates image directory with mount and updates sub-directories and goes to image folder. Now manually put all updates you downloaded in updates folder. After that do this:

for %a in (.updatesWindows6.1-KB2*-x64.msu) do mkdir %~pna
expand .updatesWindows6.1-KB2*-x64.msu -F:Windows6.1-KB2*-x64.cab .updates
for %a in (.updatesWindows6.1-KB2*-x64.cab) do expand %a -F:* %~pna
del /Q .updates*

This process will create separate folder for each update, extract cabs from msus and expand cabs in corresponding folders which were just created. And finally we clear all the mess from update folder and leave folders with extracted updates which we’re gonna add. Expanding will take some time (the more updates you unpack the longer) so be patient. When this important process is done do this:

move C:win7sourcesinstall.wim C:image

It moves Windows wim file to our image directory.

Wim mounting​

After that:

dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:install.wim
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:install.wim /index:2
dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:install.wim /index:2 /MountDir:mount

So one by one:

First line gives you info about your wim.

Then where do you want to add your updates? In my example I add them in Home Premium so my index is 2.

And in the third line we mount our wim image with edition we chose. This process will take a couple of minutes. So don’t interrupt. Btw as you notice we use DISM (Deployment Image Service and Management) utility, it’s a part of Windows 7 & Win2k8 R2. Then:

Let’s add our updates​

FOR /D %g in (.updatesWindows6.1-KB2*-x64) do dism /Image:.mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:%g

So here we go. This iteration process will add updates from their folders into wim image. The more the longer it takes … you know …. When it’s done … great we added updates!

Optional: Adding IE9​

If you want to add IE9 then go and download it. Drop it on disk C:, also create a folder C:IE9 and run this command:

C:IE9-Windows7-x64-enu /x:C:IE9

This process will unpack IE9 in C:IE9 directory. Then manually go to that folder and delete all files except for IE9-Win7.cab which is actual Internet Explorer 9. Then let’s go back to dism:

dism /image:.mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:IE9

This line adds IE9 to your windows 7 sp1 distro. Congrats.

Adding Drivers​

I don’t know which drivers you want to add but DISM utility has a limitation. You can add only expanded drivers. For that purpose install and run program like Driver Max and update your drivers to the latest and greatest version. Then back up your third party (non-Microsoft) drivers (put them in c:imagedrivers folder). Later you could use that drivers folder and add them via /recurse switch to your distro. When you add drivers with dism you can point a particular inf file or you can point it to the entire folder where infs files are sitting. In the latter case you need to use recurse switch. If you want to add unsigned drivers you need to add /forceunsigned switch as well.

dism /image:.mount /Add-Driver /driver:c:imagedrivers /recurse /forceunsigned

If you want to remove drivers or packages use /Remove-Package or /Remove-Driver options. You can read more if you just type dism/? in command line and also read it here and here. Now if you want to see what updates you’ve just added use this command:

dism /image:.mount /Get-Packages > c:updt.txt

This will create a txt file on disk c where you can read all the updates you included in your win 7 distro. If it says that drivers pending it’s ok. They’re pending because it’s no running system but a mounted wim image.

And for drivers:

dism /image:.mount /Get-Drivers > c:drv.txt

It enumerates all drivers you added and outputs it in txt file on disk c.

Save and Exit​

dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:mount /commit

Saving will take some time. If you changed your mind then discard changes and don’t save. To discard changes run this command:

dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:mount /discard

And finally let’s clean the mess:

dism /Cleanup-Wim

It’s optional, just in case.

Note: In this guide we added updates/drivers/ie9/ to one particular edition (Home Premium). If you want to add them to all your AIO distro you will have to go through this process for each and every edition (mount, select edition, add (extracted) updates, add (expanded) drivers, add ie9, save & unmount).

Creating an iso and burning​

So congrats you have a win7 sp1 x64 distro with all greatest and latest updates, drivers and even IE9. Now let’s clean the mess, make a bootable iso and burn it (lol or not if you want to make a bootable thumb drive for netbooks or whatsoever).

Let’s now place our install.wim back to its distro folder.

move C:imageinstall.wim C:win7sources

After this you can go and delete image folder, folders where you’ve put your updates, IE9, drivers etc. So now we only have folder with Windows 7 distro. Now let’s create an iso:

You will need an utility called oscdimg 120 kb or something and drop it in c:windowssystem32. And after that run this command:

oscdimg -lW7SP1 -t08/15/2011 -m -u2 -bC:win7bootetfsboot.com C:win7 C:win7dvdx64.iso

Utility uses etfsboot.com from your distro to create an iso from win7 folder and puts it in c. After this you got a bootable Win7DVD. You can now burn it or make a bootable flash drive. Delete win7 folder and iso if you want. So that’s it. Now you can use that distro.

After you installed windows from this distro you can check updates and drivers you added on that fresh system

for updates

dism /online /Get-Packages

for drivers

dism /online /Get-Drivers

Or you can simply go and check it in Programs and features for updates and device manager for drivers. Also you can enumerate drivers of your system by pnp utility

pnputil /E

P.S. You can add .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 updates as well. They are msu files, just like Windows update files.

Windows6.1-KB2518869-x64.msu
Windows6.1-KB2539635-x64.msu
Windows6.1-KB2572077-x64.msu

If you created AIO Windows 7 distro and want to add updates/drivers/IE9/product key etc. then here is how:

Requirements:

Machine with Windows 7 SP1 x64 for optimum conditions

So congrats you have a win7 sp1 x64 distro with all greatest and latest updates, drivers and even IE9. Now let’s clean the mess, make a bootable iso and burn it (lol or not if you want to make a bootable thumb drive for netbooks or whatsoever).

Let’s now place our install.wim back to its distro folder.

move C:imageinstall.wim C:win7sources

After this you can go and delete image folder, folders where you’ve put your updates, IE9, drivers etc. So now we only have folder with Windows 7 distro. Now let’s create an iso:

You will need an utility called oscdimg 120 kb or something and drop it in c:windowssystem32. And after that run this command:

oscdimg -lW7SP1 -t08/15/2011 -m -u2 -bC:win7bootetfsboot.com C:win7 C:win7dvdx64.iso

Utility uses etfsboot.com from your distro to create an iso from win7 folder and puts it in c. After this you got a bootable Win7DVD. You can now burn it or make a bootable flash drive. Delete win7 folder and iso if you want. So that’s it. Now you can use that distro.

After you installed windows from this distro you can check updates and drivers you added on that fresh system

for updates

dism /online /Get-Packages

for drivers

dism /online /Get-Drivers

Or you can simply go and check it in Programs and features for updates and device manager for drivers. Also you can enumerate drivers of your system by pnp utility

pnputil /E

P.S. You can add .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 updates as well. They are msu files, just like Windows update files.
