APPLYING WINDOWS UPDATE MSU FILES TO WIM IMAGES

This powershell script will inject all .msu files into a mounted WIM file. The script first scans the relative path of the directory that it was executed from for WIM files. Next, it mounts the WIM file. The script then scans the relative directory for all existing .msu files and writes them to an array. The msu files are then injected into the mounted WIM file. Once all updates are injected, the WIM is unmounted and cleaned up.

To use this, I suggest creating a separate directory and copying the script to it. Copy all of the pertinant .msu files and the WIM file over.

NOTE: Make sure to backup the WIM file before injecting the .msu files into it. Some updates are only online updates and will corrupt the WIM file if injected. You can read more on this topic in my blog located here.

You can download the script here.
