I have a point of confusion regarding the combining of the SSU and LCU.
When updating a Windows image, I have a script that follows the order of operations shown in the chart in this documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/media-dynamic-update
Note that for updating the install.wim, the order begins like this...
SSU
Language Pack
Features on Demand
LCU
The first time the combined SSU / LCU package is installed, it will install only the SSU if an SSU exists in the package. The second time the package is installed it will apply the LCU. This would allow you to apply the package once, at which time the SSU is installed, then apply the Language Packs and Features on Demand, then apply the LCU package again at which time the LCU is applyed.
If no SSU is present in the package then the LCU is installed the first time you apply the package. This causes a problem because the LCU gets applied prior to my installation of the Language Packs and Features on Demand.
So here is my question: How can I know if the LCU includes an SSU from my script so that I can intelligently apply the package only after the Language Packs and Features on Demand are installed if no SSU is present in the package?
