If I make image with EWF, can DUA work correctly?
BTW:Just not use the Desktop install tool, use the DUA.

Why not? Just make sure to call EWF commit (with an API or ewfmgr.exe) if
you need to make the update changes persistent.
Also, run DUA scripts under an account with enough priviledges (admin, local
system).

You use DUA to run QFE's at run time with or without the Desktop Installer.
Without it you just package QFE's registry and files instead.

Sorry I don't say it clearly. I mean if I want to make a image with EWF that
be used to other device, just like Play Station2 or XBOX. I don't want the
use to commit it manually after update, do i have to write a application to
commit it automatically? Or DUA can disable EWF when install the QFE and
after update can enable the EWF agian?

Without the Desktop installer.
 
George,

In order to commit EWF cache (the changes on the protected volume(s)) you
have to grecefully reboot the device.
DUA does not (and cannot) have anything specific integrated around the EWF.

If your only concern is in "manual" steps you have to do in order to commit
the update changes, then you can easy automate it with "ewfmgr.exe -commit"
command executed from within the DUA script (or call to your app that
leverages EWF API).

Desktop installer has nothing to do with DUA or EWF. So with or without it,
it does not change things much.

Thanks very much, I get it :)

I thought that DUA is always running under the system account?

Mario,

I meant executing script command (like EXECUTE/EXECUTEPROCESS) under admin.
Sorry for confusing statement.
