I have an image I am creating which sysprep just finished running on and I just realized I forgot to install kb888111 for High Definition Audio Devices.

Anyone know of a way I can install it to an offline OS, so that I don't have to ressyprep the system just to install this one patch.

This update is packaged with audio drivers normally ... When you will install audio driver, the hotfixe will be installed too.

not when sysprep installs the drivers with minisetup. the hotfix needs to already be installed.

I don't have experience with sysprep, but can you run silent install of the hotfixe before installing drivers ?

I don't know of anyway to run anything yourself before cmdlines.txt and by then it is too late.

It's not always true the hotfix installs with the audio drivers...SOMETIMES that's the case, but rarely.

As far as the issue at hand, I'm not aware of any ways to do it without resysprepping it...it doesn't take long though, does it?

It does when you have added about 100 mass storage drivers along with the defaults.

You think this would work ?

- Load the image, but obviously don't boot into it

- boot into Bart PE

- stage the KB file

- Load the registry

- edit Run Once to do a silent install

- save the registry

- take another image of this

- load it and see what happens ? heh.

by the time runonce has run the drivers have been installed. So I would have to either manually remove the sound drivers and reinstall, or figure out a way to have it automatically remove and reinstall the sound drivers. I've never been successful at refreshing the drivers after install kb888111.

I have a feeling I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and resysprep the machine.

Isn't it possible to extract the files, mount the image, replace the files and regedit the relevant key?
