Getting Hotfixes Onto A Windows Image the Easy (and Free) Way

In his September newsletter, Mark Minasi explains how you can apply hotfixes to a WIM directly.

* Download each month’s patches
* Expand them into their .msu package files, using the Windows expand command
* Mount the WIM that needs the hotfix to a folder, using ImageX's /mountrw command

* Unmount the image with ImageX /commit /unmount
