Automated deployment of KB4023057 (Microsoft Update Health Tools) - W10 22H2

[ddlnegocios]

Microsoft Update lists KB4023057 as follows: '2023-10 Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based systems (KB4023057)'.

KB4023057 also is known as Microsoft Update Health Tools. It is not available in the Microsoft Update Catalog, but it can be found on the Uupdump website. From there, you get four files:

• compdb.xml.cab
• ExeUpdateAgentDeployment.cab
• unifiedinstaller.exe
• UpdHealthTools.cab

Right now, the files are located on the Desktop in a folder named "KB4023057.x64", as shown below.



In order to be installed manually, they all must be placed in the same folder, and 'unifiedinstaller.exe' must be run with administrator privileges.

► And this is where I need help from someone in the forum:

I want to add the KB4023057 files to my Windows 10 22H2 source image using NTLite, integrating them into the Post-Setup phase before logon.

• In NTLite>Integration>Post-Setup>Before Logon> I Added the folder "KB4023057.x64". Check out IMG2.



Questions:

1) Which parameter is required to run 'unifiedinstaller.exe'?
2) What else must be done?


Thanks!

KB4023057 only has one goal: making it easier to upgrade to later W11 releases by undoing any user tweaks to WU settings, which may prevent a successful upgrade. Otherwise any WU fixes would have been rolled into the normal CU's by now.

It's not on the Catalog, but available for download:
Update Health Tools

This ZIP file provides a normal UpdHealthTools.msi file, which NTLite can handle directly in Post-Setup (Before logon).

I wouldn't bother installing it. W10 has reached End of Service. So if you're making a new install image today, then you're probably not very interesting in running W11 any time soon.

I am aware of this download from the link you posted. Earlier, I downloaded the UpdHealthTools.msi file from there and tried to install it manually. However, nothing happens.

That's why I got the files with the help of abbodi86 on the My Digital Life forum, where I was redirected to the Uupdump website. Then I installed it successfully by running 'unifiedinstaller.exe'.

Moving foward...

From the scenario I mentioned earlier:

Integration>Post-Setup>Before Logon> I Added the folder "KB4023057.x64". Check out IMG2.



What should be done to integrate it successfully?

garlin , I am pretty convinced that you have the answer, considering everything that has been said here.

I manually installed UpdHealthTools.msi on a live W10 22H2 system, and it definitely worked. I also ran registrychangeview-x64 to capture any updates, and the MSI created new Update Health Tool entries in the registry.

msiexec /i UpdHealthTools.msi /qn /L*v .\log.txt

Don't see why it wouldn't work the same in Post-Setup as a standalone MSI, using /qn in the Parameters.



If you really wanted to deploy KB4023057's original version, then I suppose you already have the clue: Some MS installers (ie. Office Setup) only work if you start inside a specific folder path.

You'd have to add a single Post-Setup command:

cmd /c "cd %SYSTEMROOT%\Setup\KB4023057.x64 && .\unifiedinstaller.exe"

abbodi86, MS has a proper MSI for it (with separate files for 19045, 22000, and 22621+ builds)
Update Health Tools

The version I got with abbodi86 is 3.74.0.0.



Thanks a lot for the code. I'll test it using NTLite later too.
