Using the Bypass, I've successfully installed the April updates on five machines! For my purposes, downloading the files from the Windows catalogue and installing them manually is the fastest approach. My most sincere thanks to the author and the rest of the team.
Just installed all three April ESU updates (I know one is redundant) on an x86 machine without having to install the April SSU. Going to try x64 next and report back. Updates still don't show in WU on any of my Windows 7 machines; I have all current SSUs installed except for April. EDIT: All updates installed successfully on x64 as well.
Don't post the same info on multiple threads, this is discussed here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-7-hotfix-repository.19461/page-535#post-1590261 For troubleshooting check the OP, there are links to the tutorial and troubleshoot Q&A.
So @Enthousiast let me be clear on this, Are the IE11 updates included in the monthly rollup or do we have to get them from the catalog? And if not in there, why not?... Are we good to go when getting the monthly rollup over WU using the V5 patch or not? Also did Microsoft say that they will never make any more .net updates for Windows 7?
@Greg R Thanks for looking that up. Of course I like most people haven't used IE11 (as default browser) in 5 to 7 yrs but, we don't want it's security holes to allow the rodents of the internet to get into our system either, even if IE is not even running. I would uninstall IE, but old programs like a weather program I have, uses IE's downloader to obtain/refresh it's data... Although I do remember trying Chrome when it first came out back in 2008 & it was pretty crappy also, so it wasn't always fantastic either.

Why am I not getting any April updates in Wu? In March he installed them normally. When I start By_pass online, the first time it gives me the error attached. Thank you
