The incompatibility issue with msiexec.exe exists after installing BypassESU v7 AIO, yet without installing the .NET 4 ESU Bypass option.
Yeah, as I said earlier, I think the WU patch might be causing some issues too. It's not as obvious as the .Net patch, though.
Hello, In April I installed BypassESU v5 (or v6, I don't really remember version number); anyway, everything was working fine and WU regurarly received the updates, which I applied till the latest May ones. Yesterday, however, WU prompted me about some "new updates" which actually were very old ones that I installed years ago, namely: KB2676562 KB2871997 KB3004375 KB3011780 KB3031432 KB3033929 KB3046269 KB3068708 KB3184143 IEv11 x64 I tried to install them all over again but installation procedure ended in error. I tried to hide them and check for new updates but WU was not able to check for new updates (gave me an error), not even if I restarted the computer. I tried to stop wuauserv service, delete the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution", restart, then check WU, but this cancelled all my WU history and moreover WU is still not working. At this point, how should I proceed?
Hey guys! I can't reinstall ESU Suppressor with v7 (no option available), however, i installed v3 Suppressor - is there any way to remove ESU Suppressor and reinstall with v7?
Interesting experiment... built a VM based on a 01Aug2018 RTM issue. Installed all ESU required updates except the March 2020 SSU. Ran WU to bring build up to 31Jan2020. Installed KB8483 to enable ESU updates via WU after install, Tried installation of both v6 and v7 ESU... both said 2-required updates were missing (KB0628 & 4419). They both were installed as directed, checked and found them both there, tried again, both ESUs failed again. Installed v5 ESU + dotNETFx4 BypassESU and all worked fine from then on. I have no idea why the v6 & v7 ESU installers didn't see the two required updates that had been installed... lots of reStarts to no avail.
Hello , My apologies for disturbing me I would like to have help because here it is, a friend of mine owns a Windows 7 SP1 he would like to know how to proceed, because he will install it on a new hard drive, so here I understood correctly: 1. it installs Windows 7 2. it does all the updates 3. what should he do? to install the Bypass Esu V7 or UpdatePack7R2? because on this hard drive he never installed Bypass Esu nor the V4 V5 see V6 could your explain to me in detail how to proceed please on a new Windows 7? Could someone explain to me how to proceed on a Windows 7 with the Esu V6 to install on it please? I beg your pardon but it is quite urgent. hoping to get an answer soon enough . Thank you very much .
Someone more knowledgable than me will be along soon but if you have coped with the initial install then the updatepack7r2 will install all updates required without having to use esd .Good luck
Hi @ Hal2000, thank you for your information, I will still wait for an explanation a bit more to be sure not to do anything silly. I therefore resume my initial message: Request 1: here I have a friend who just had a new hard drive and he owns a Windows 7 SP1, and I would like to know how to proceed since it is I who will do everything to him. so I think I should do the following: 1. Install Windows 7 2. I install the drivers 3. I do all the updates 4. I install either the Bypass Esu V7 or the UpdatePack7R2 what should I do? 5. If I install the Bypass Esu V7, here I understand if we read the _ReadMe.txt correctly it is said that it foremost install the following KB: - KB4490628 - KB4474419 - KB4555449 - KB4538483 - KB3138612 then after I follow the procedure of: How to Use - Live OS Installation is that right? Request 2: For a person having a Windows 7 with the Bypass Esu V6 to install it wrong just put the Esu V7 as explain above above anytime what I said is right right? I want to apologize but it's pretty urgent, Hoping to receive an answer soon enough. Thank you for everything .
install windows 7 install drivers then,without connected to the internet ,run the updatepack7r2 and then connected to the net ,patch with the bypass tool etc etc....
Is it recommended to upgrade from BypassESU-v6 to the latest BypassESU-v7 for the upcoming June 2020 updates or wait until there is possibly be another revised BypassESU update. Please advise?
The only difference betwen v6 and v7 is the .NET 4 ESU Bypass, which can be installed separately https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1596946/ it also has incompatibility issue and cause msiexec.exe not to work for some programs (e.g. Office C2R) which cannot be solved the only safe route is to either use the ESU_LOCK parameter to install NDP4 updates manually (assuming it will continue to work) or, install .NET 4 ESU Bypass, then install .NET 4 updates (manually or from WU), then remove .NET 4 ESU Bypass
Given that there are now 3472 posts, of which over 3000 were basically the same question as yours, make it not just for you, but for everybody, extremely hard to find answers. Are you having sleepless nights over that problem? Why don't you simply wait?
Hello, Thanks so much for getting back with me and detailing this out. I greatly appreciate it. I will just wait then until you come out with an updated version and a fix for the v7. I will then stay with the v6 for the time being. Kind regards.
