Install or Remove Packages Offline with Package Manager

  • Artículo

Package Manager is a command-line tool used to update offline Windows images only. If you are updating a running Windows operating system, see Install or Remove System MSIs or Packages Online with OCSetup. Service packs must be installed online on a running Windows operating system with the Windows Update Stand-alone (WUSA) installer. For more information, see Install Service Packs.

You must install the latest version of the Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit (Windows OPK), which contains all the tools required, including Package Manager and the RTM servicing stack for servicing Windows Vista RTM images. If you are servicing an image that has been updated with the latest service pack, you must use the latest version of the Windows OPK deployment tools so that the updated servicing stack that is included in the image can be detected by Package Manager.
