ISO for creator's upgrade including cumulative updates

dsmith888 · 14 Jul 2017

Is there any link to get an ISO that bundles the Cumulative updates with it? MSDN article seems to indicate it is available to those with MSDN subscriptions.

Read this tutorial and download the Media Creation Tool.

Download Windows 10 ISO File

The Media Creation Tool is updated to include the newer builds of W10 although it takes a while for MS to bring it current.
It may be a Month or 2 behind the Cumulative updates but since the updates are Cumulative LU will only have to download the latest update to bring it current.

Always download a fresh Media Creation Tool as it is updated to download the newest W10 ISO.

Yup, MCT refreshes the distro sooner thatn MSDN (= Techbench from whence Heidoc tool gets the ISO's)

... but why not create your own...?

I'm working on a script to do this ( seeing we are getting so many CU's)

Code:

#create temp extraction folder$Extractedfldr = Join-Path $env:TEMP "\Extracted\"


if (Test-Path $Extractedfldr) {Remove-Item $Extractedfldr}
$Extractedfldr = New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $Extractedfldr


#create temp mount folder
$Mountfldr = Join-Path $env:TEMP "\Mount\"
if (Test-Path $Mountfldr) {Remove-Item $Mountfldr}
$Mountfldr = New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $Mountfldr


#Extract the iso to folder


$isofile = Get-FileName "Select the ISO file" "ISO files (*.iso )|*.iso"


$isofile = "'$isofile'"


write-host Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath $isofile -PassThru


$driveLetter = (Get-DiskImage $isofile | Get-Volume).DriveLetter


Write-Host $driveLetter


pause


Copy-Item (Join-Path $driveLetter "\.*") $Extractedfldr


$wimfile = Join-Path $Extractedfldr "\sources\install.wim"


$ImageIndex = Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath $wimfile


Write-Host $ImageIndex


$Index = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the ImageIndex number to apply the update to...'


Mount-WindowsImage -Path $Mountfldr -ImagePath $wimfile -Index $Index


$inputfile = Get-FileName "Select the update file" "Cab files (*.cab)|*.cab|MSU files (*.msu)|*.msu"
$inputfile = "'$inputfile.Trim()'"


Dism /Image:$Mountfldr /Add-Package /PackagePath:$inputfile | Out-Null


Dism /Image:$Mountfldr /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase | Out-Null


Dismount-WindowsImage -Path $Mountfldr -Save


### Backup existing iso and create new ISO with new install.wim file into ISO


$newfile = $isofile -replace ".iso", "_1.iso"


Copy-Item $isofile $newfile


dir $Mountfld -recurse | New-IsoFile -Path $newfile




#Clean up
Remove-Item -Path $Mountfldr
Remove-Item -Path $Extractedfldr
Dismount-DiskImage -ImagePath $isofile


if (Test-Path $newfile) {
 Write-Host $newfile + " created..."
 }


pause

If you read PS you can just use the commands (don't worry about the fluff.. but you need to Mount, AddPackage, StartcomponentCleanup and Dismount-Save.

..then use UltraISO to overwrite the install.wim in the original ISO.

@Superfly, I hope you do not mind these remarks:

First, a minor typo, you've missed a line break. The very first line in your code contains actually two lines, a remark (red font below) and a command (blue font); as it is now it can only produce an error.

#create temp extraction folder$Extractedfldr = Join-Path $env:TEMP "\Extracted\"

It should of course be in two lines:

#create temp extraction folder $Extractedfldr = Join-Path $env:TEMP "\Extracted\"

Second, Get-FileName is not a PS cmdlet, at least if you have not created or imported a script or an additional module containing it. I would use Read-Host instead to prompt user the name of the ISO:

$isofile = Read-Host "Select the ISO file" "ISO files (*.iso )|*.iso"

The last 4 times I used the MCT I got Version 1703 Build 15063.0 but updating to 15063.447 didn't take very long, about an hour on a 5Mbps connection.

LOL... yup I edited it (...badly

)

.. and yes it's not a standard cmdlet.. (I was adding some nice to have gui features)

here's the full code in case you are interested (NB very much work in progress.. still a bugs nest)

Code:

function New-IsoFile

  <#  
   .Synopsis  
    Creates a new .iso file  
   .Description  
    The New-IsoFile cmdlet creates a new .iso file containing content from chosen folders  
   .Example  
    New-IsoFile "c:\tools","c:Downloads\utils"  
    This command creates a .iso file in $env:temp folder (default location) that contains c:\tools and c:\downloads\utils folders. The folders themselves are included at the root of the .iso image.  
   .Example 
    New-IsoFile -FromClipboard -Verbose 
    Before running this command, select and copy (Ctrl-C) files/folders in Explorer first.  
   .Example  
    dir c:\WinPE | New-IsoFile -Path c:\temp\WinPE.iso -BootFile "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg\efisys.bin" -Media DVDPLUSR -Title "WinPE" 
    This command creates a bootable .iso file containing the content from c:\WinPE folder, but the folder itself isn't included. Boot file etfsboot.com can be found in Windows ADK.

Made some progress on this script, but still not entirely happy with the way updates gets integrated - I'm not all that up to date with servicing stacks and what-not but for those that want to give it a bash.
Extract and run from the folder - it needs oscdimg to be alongside it.
