Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

This might seem basic, but try rebooting and attempting to install those updates again.

 

I tried to restart but the update did not install.

 

I just did a clean install of windows 7, installed all the updates, then I installed this bypass. But I am getting no updates. I have tried the troubleshooting, deleting softwaredistribution and rebooting, and the only update i've gotten since is windows activation technologies.

 

Did you install the "License Preparation Package" KB4538483?

 

Yes, I installed that, stopped wuauserv, deleted softwaredistribution, rebooted, and all i got was a windows activation technologies update and a wifi driver update. Stuff like language packs and security essentials dissappeared from the optional list too.

EDIT: It suddendly started taking a long time to check for updates, and it looks like its working now. Took about 4 tries of clicking check for updates. (Security monthly quality rollup 2020-04)

 

This was similar to my experience as well. Took a few tries.

I had problems a week ago running "LiveOS-Setup.cmd" - when I ran, it just exited with no error, black box would flash up and instantly disappear. Or on CMD prompt the process just exists back to cmd shell. I was running as admin, I had disabled anti virus and I had every pre-requisite hotfix that was needed. Still failing.

I did a little debugging of the script and was told that superUser64.exe is used to Run As "TrustedInstaller' since this is needed for windows updates, so my problem is that the superUser elevated prompt was failing to work, unfortunately there was no warning or error in the script ... so this took a long time to diagnose.

So then I also tried NSudo alternate method to get an elevated prompt, but that did not work either, it kept failing saying it can not start a process for CMD prompt

Well, I went looking for other ways to run as Trusted Installer and I found you can use Process Hacker, which finally worked ! Right click the TrustedInstaller process inside Process Hacker and it has an option to Run As, then I launched a CMD prompt as TrustedInstaler user and ran LiveOS-Setup.cmd finally and got the menu list. Hooray!

I dont know what was causing superUser64 or NSudo to fail on my computer, they gave no error message.

Maybe this will help somebody else who has tried every other option. I think it would help others if an error or warning can be added when superUser fails to run

 

are you sure you have installed ALL the prerequisites ??
