Using DISM to inject Windows updates into an image (.wim file)

Problem: How do inject Windows updates into a .wim file?

Solution:

First you need to mount the image file, this is achieved by running the following:

dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<YourImage File.wim> /Index:1 /mountdir:"C:\temp\Mount"

 

You then need to specify the package path to which you have already downloaded the windows updates from Microsoft:

DISM /image:"C:\temp\Mount" /Add-Package /Packagepath:"C:\temp\updates"

 

All you need to do now is commit the changes to the original .wim file:

dism  /unmount-wim /mountdir:"C:\temp\Mount" /commit

 

Then clean-up the image:

DISM /Cleanup-Wim

  1. hi,

    Was wondering if you could help me out.

    I’ve injected the windows 10 april 1803 update (KB4093105 x64) onto the exported wim of one of the deployable images I have in my wds server. everything seemed to go fine, mounted, added package, unmounted.. imported the wim back to my wds windows 10 group. installed it on a test workstation and it still shows as version 1703 is installing instead of 1803 any idea why this could be?

    thanks
