Unable to add GUI shell to Core install with Server 2012 R2 VL media


hi

we using vl media named "sw_dvd5_windows_svr_std_and_datactr_2012_r2_64bit_english_core_mlf_x19-05182" , after installing 2012 r2 standard core version can't add gui shell features using local media source.  using alternate 2012 r2 media technet subscription , same commands work fine.  it seems particular vl media missing packages winsxs store (it released in past week , appears have patch rollup applied against - winsxs packages v16408).

further details:

have tried using both dism , add-windowsfeature commands, pointing source wim or winsxs no avail (these commands work fine when using technet media).  i.e-

    install-windowsfeature server-gui-mgmt-infra,server-gui-shell -source wim:d:\sources\install.wim:2

     dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:server-gui-mgmt /featurename:server-gui-shell /featurename:servercore-fullserver /source c:\mount\windows\winsxs /limitaccess


always fails cbs.log showing unable locate source.  digging deeper cbs.log failed vl install see 508 source not found errors.  these errors seem earlier versions of the package (which don't exist in vl medias winsxs folder):

    amd64_microsoft-windows-ntdll_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16408_none_49efc0bacfe03585  (exists in vl winsxs)

    amd64_microsoft-windows-ntdll_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_d8cf6f72fcb55982   (doesn't exist in winsxs)

am going have go @ merging technet winsxs folder of vl winsxs folder, technet 1 appears have these 16384 version folders.

anyways, issue easy reproduce - fire mounted vl media in vm (disable network adapter), install standard core, attempt add gui shell using mounted media source.  it fail.  is possible vl media doesn't have required packages?


server 2012 r2 vl media has been re-released - should see release data of 12/12/13.  

i can see in technet downloads, apparently in msdn also.
