Bypass ESU Blue

server 2012 ( not r2 ) update install on windows 8.0 fine

 

I did not notice about the updates ESU KB5017220 before installing Bypass even I used it on Windows 7 before
Any way uninstall ESU Bypass then install KB5017220 then re install Bypass again
Then I changed EditionID from " Coresinglelanguage" to " EmbeddedIndustry"
Without need for reboot I get two updates
KB5022899 and KB5022733

Thank you for you amazing work

 

KB5017220 is not needed

it's ment for Server 2012 R2 ESU starting in November

 

I just followed "Read me " instructions
even I know there is no ESU for Windows 8.1
and I just read about windows server 2012 ESU until 2026
I just get confused

 

Yeah, i added it just in case

You don't need wsus proxy for that, below registry change is enough for Windows 8.0

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"InstallationType"="Embedded"
"EditionID"="EmbeddedIndustry"
"ProductName"="Windows Embedded 8 Industry Pro"

;-- or --

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"InstallationType"="Embedded"
"EditionID"="EmbeddedIndustryE"
"ProductName"="Windows Embedded 8 Industry Enterprise"

;-- or --

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"InstallationType"="Embedded"
"EditionID"="Embedded"
"ProductName"="Windows Embedded 8 Standard"

Am I correct in that this bypass only removes the block that prevents the installation of Windows 8 Embedded Patches? Patches must be downloaded and installed manually. This bypass has no effect on Windows Update finding, downloading, and installing the patches.

 

I now realized there needs to be a registry edit before Windows Update works. Problem is I followed the post above me thinking that was for Windows 8.1 and made 3 incorrect changes.

I know EditionID= should be EmbeddedIndustry.

What should be the proper value for

InstallationType=

and

ProuctName=

Thank you for helping.

 

Hello ah-le-le,
see post #27. You only have to change the 8 to 8.1.

 

It's not needed to change InstallationType & ProuctName for Windows 8.1
EditionID is enough

 

windows 8.1 ? => add this

EditionID"="EmbeddedIndustryE"

if windows 8.0

create batch file with this

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v EditionID /t REG_SZ /d "Embedded" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v InstallationType /t REG_SZ /d "Embedded" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName /t REG_SZ /d "Windows Embedded 8 Standard" /f

run net stop wuauserv

delete software distribution folder re run windows update

 

Thanks guys. I realize that it is not necessary to change the values of:

InstallationType=

and

ProductName=

on a Windows 8.1 machine to receive the updates but I mistakenly already did.

Currently, the values on the Windows 8.1 Home System are:

"InstallationType"="Embedded"
"EditionID"="EmbeddedIndustry"
"ProductName"="Windows Embedded 8 Standard"

Will this mismatch cause a problem? I am concerned it might in the future which is why I want to enter what is considered the proper values.

Additional question:

Is Windows Defender part of Windows Embedded? Reason for asking is it seems as though Defender is no longer updated though Windows Update.

 

the only problem with win 8 is being able to install framework 4.8 any tips?
it installs but when you use a program that uses framework 4.8 it says it doesn't have it installed

 

"InstallationType"="Client"
"ProductName"="Windows 8.1"

maybe
you can change EditionID back to "Core", and only change to "EmbeddedIndustry" on patch tuesday (when new Windows updates are released)

 

use orca msi editor and delete check ?

 

.NET 4.8 and IE11 are blocked for Win 8
if you use Dism.exe to install them, it will appear it succeed, but it will not install the full package

Thank you. That is what I will do.

Off topic, but this thread is pretty sparse considering that Windows 8 is still a decent and relatively lightweight OS that just needed a 3rd party shell.
