Problem servicing Win7 offline image.

[click-click]

Hello, I'm trying to remove KB2703811 (superseded by KB2844009) from a Win7 offline image.

My problem is that I can't remove KB2703811 because I keep getting the following error:

Processing 1 of 1 - Removing package Package_for_KB2703811~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.4.0

An error occurred - Package_for_KB2703811 Error: 0x80070490 ERROR_NOT_FOUND

The error code 1168 (0x490) means Element not found.

DISM log shows:

2013-07-11 11:20:46, Error                 CBS    Failed to resolve package 'Package_31_for_KB2703811~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.2.0' [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND]

I can't remove v4 (6.1.4.0) because CBS is complaining about v2 (6.1.2.0). KB2844009 which replaces KB2703811 has been integrated in the offline image. Is there a way to completely remove KB2703811 from the offline image so it is no longer part of the /get-packages output file?

Thanks for any help on how to solve this problem.

If you run /GET-PACKAGES, does that one you can't remove show up in the list?

that's why I no longer integrate updates and install them instaed via setupcomplete.cmd. If an update is obsolte you only hve to remove it from the OEM folder.

Yes, that was indicated in my question.

You should have removed 2703811 first. 2844009 replaces some things of it which makes it unremoveable.

Start over with new image or forget it.

Well, after checking, I actually did try to remove 2703811 before adding 2844009. I still had the problem removing it even with 2844009 not integrated at the time.. I did not want to waste moe time on it and I redid the integration up to June stariing with the W7 SP1 install wim. I always make it a point to remove superseded updates from the offline image before adding any replacements. I have no idea what happened.

as I told you, use the setupcomplete.cmd approach, so you avoid rebuilding the WIM each time again.

I only use SetupComplete to add things such as dotNET, VCRedists, Tweaks,, Fixits, etc.. All integratable fixes go into the wim which I update each month using Komm's repository. Integrating the latest fixes into the wim each month is a no brainer. I've been doing this for over a year now and this was the first time I ran into the problem where a fix was unremovable from my offline image.
