We are using NTLite to create install media to perform in-place upgrades of our Windows 2008R2 servers to Windows 2012R2.
I am attempting to integrate all of the required security, service stack, etc. updates in order to package .NET 4.8 in the install.
I have used Windows ADK and NTLite for images, but am not sure how to integrate KB2919355 since in requires the executable ClearCompressionFlag.exe to be run before the updates. How can I run this file against the install image and integrate these updates to my image? I have attempted it without the EXE and it shows .NET 4.8 is installed under Programs in Control Panel, but Powershell reveals the .NET version is still .NET 4.5 from the .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.5 "Features" being added to the image.
I would prefer to have the updates integrated to the image and not just included as Post-Setup tasks as I know multiple reboots are required when performing the updates manually and I am not sure how NTLite will handle multiple reboots during Post-Setup tasks. Likewise, I am trying to keep the install media size small and the install time/update true-ups to a minimum.
Please advise.
Thanks,
