Integrating KB2919355

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.

  1. These KB's must be installed in the following order: clearcompressionflag.exe, KB2919355, KB2932046, KB2959977, KB2937592, KB2938439, and KB2934018.
  2. KB2919442 is a prerequisite for Windows Server 2012 R2 Update and should be installed before attempting to install KB2919355

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,

P.S. Is there maybe a newer update that supersedes KB2919355 or includes it and any prerequisite updates eliminating the need to integrate KB2919355 and deal with the ClearCompressionFlag.exe issue?
 
Nevermind...I got it figured out.
I started a new Windows 2012 R2 image and was able to integrate all of the prerequisite KB2919355 patches and add ClearCompressionFlag.exe as a Post-Setup task. That ISO test good after an in-place upgrade of my 2008R2 test server. Then I was able to go back and integrate the .NET 4.8 installer(KB4486105) into the image successfully as well.
