Creating an all-inclusive deployment package for Internet Explorer 11

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:
