I will not allow any links to or discussions about activation tools, home brewed iso's, warez or download links to LTSB and LTSC or other restricted editions or sharing of an Microsoft files however small they may be, in this thread or any other thread of mine.

I would ask users to help moderate my topics, be polite and ask posters to remove any offending material. If they will not remove any such material please use the Report link, Nuhi has the final say.

Please help to keep ntlite/community Takedown Notice free, Thank You.
==============================================


I am new to windows 8.1 and using an iso that includes November 2014 update roll up.
I need to install .net3.5. Enabling it in Features on a running system it downloads the file, where is it downloaded to, Software Distribution, and what type of file is it, an executable, cab file or other?
I need to update the image, do i need a Servicing Stack and the latest CU only or do i need to add all the updates in the updates downloader tool.
What would be the install order on a running system, install .net 3.5 then the SS and CU as per usual?
==================================================================

I am using this post as a temporary location for 8.1 related uploads. Before running any file check them through as they may disable things you need to use, i run them as they are but users can cherry pick bits that suit them.

Download from Here

It failed at 90%. Here are the logs for me. (Probably different from Clanger's because I didn't download and integrate all the KB's that NTLite found.)
 
Some seemed pointless, like the two that update the Journal stuff before a thrid removed Journal. Same with Win10 update offer, then removed.

Some I won't need, like Store & OneCloud stuff.
 
Also, I only did the monthly rollup from Sept 2016 that abbodi86 said to use. There were a lot more after that which I plan to let Enqueue figure out.
 
I think some of them monthly updates need the previous one too, im gonna check their web pages later.

I didn't do NET 3.5 b/c abbodi86 said one needed to install NET 3.5 first. And 1) I don't know if I need it and 2) I don't know how to do it from his instructions.

Also, since I don't have USB Type-C, etc. I didn't bother with it. (Same with BT.)
 
The list is based on an update 3 iso, maybe it needs tweaking a bit. I might be wrong soim gonna check them later. Gonna grab em all, rename em and see whats what.
 
If you see "U3" in the filename or volume label then its update 3, ntlite may show it. Dont forget im picking this up as i go along.
 
I didn't see U3 in the filename. I don't see it in the name of the iso when I mount it as files. But since I got it from Microsoft, I gotta believe it's Update 3. (I think the web page said so.)
 
Website doesn't say U3. My file dates are in 2014. From the web, I see that Update 3 was issued March 2018? Still investigating. (But gotta go to sleep.)
 
1.7.0.6500 64-bit - December 2014 update rollup KB3004545 is giving a red warning - Missing prerequisites (KB3013769 - December 2014 update rollup): KB3004545 - KB3004545 - Routing and Remote Access service hotfix isnt ticked by default.
