Creating an all-inclusive deployment package for Internet Explorer 11

  • Artigo

Today we release a new article on How to create an all-inclusive deployment package for Internet Explore 11, including the all the prerequisite updates, language packs, and spelling dictionaries plus the latest cumulative security updates in a single restart. This is a great help for business that are looking for guidance on implementing such solution and move to IE11 considering that only the most recent version of Internet Explorer available for supported OS will receive technical support and security updates after January 12, 2016. see the Microsoft Support Lifecycle site for more details regarding support timelines on Windows and Windows Embedded systems.

Kudos to the Microsoft Support Engineers that collaborated in producing the article and share it with everybody!

NOTE:

One issue we saw before with the SCCM deployment had to do with the Package path for x64 OS [%systemroot%\SysNative\] which someone had written a batch file for it and included below:

x64 Batch:

@ECHO OFF
REM ECHO Installing IE 11 prerequisite: KB2834140

    You can also use the following vbscript to help extract the MSU files. '---- HELPS EXTRAT CABS FROM MSU FILES ------ ' copy the msu and this script in the same folder. It will extract the files to a Cabs folder ' Dim ExtractFolder: ExtractFolder = "Cabs" Dim fso: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim wshShell: Set wshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim scriptDir scriptDir = fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) On Error Resume Next ' Deleting ExtractFolder subfolder to start clean fso.DeleteFolder ScriptDir & "" & ExtractFolder Err.Clear On Error Goto 0 ' Create Cabs folder, we will put the extracted cabs there. fso.CreateFolder ScriptDir & "" & ExtractFolder Dim scriptFolder Set scriptFolder = fso.GetFolder(ScriptDir) dim scriptFolderFiles Set scriptFolderFiles =scriptFolder.Files Dim file, TotalExtracted ' Initialize TotalExtracted = 0 ' Loop thru all files in the folder that the script is ran in For Each file in scriptFolderFiles If Right(file.name, 4) = ".msu" Then ' wscript.echo "Processing " & file.name iRetVal = WshShell.Run("wusa.exe " & ScriptDir & "" & file.Name & " /extract:" & ScriptDir & "" & ExtractFolder, 0, True) If iRetVal = 0 Then TotalExtracted = TotalExtracted + 1 Else Wscript.echo "An error occurred while trying to extract the cab file from " & file.name & "…" End If End If Next ' Delete any unneeded wsusscan.cab files from the extractFolder On Error Resume Next fso.DeleteFile ScriptDir & "" & ExtractFolder & "wsusscan.cab", True On Error Goto 0 WScript.Echo "A total of " & totalExtracted & " cab files were extracted. Script Complete." Manual process using wusa.exe Example: C:TOOLSExtract-Cabs-from-MSU-Updates>wusa.exe C:TOOLSExtract-Cabs-from-MSU-UpdatesIE10-Windows6.1-KB3065008-x64.msu  /extract:C:TOOLSExtract-Cabs-from-MSU-UpdatesCabs

      @Anu For a manage machine, the All-inclusive IE11 install is a good startYou can run the DISM command outlined in this blog to get the prerequisites which has also being used across Enterprises using SCCM to deploy IE11.
