    The timestamp in the update log points to the error:

    obviously reg points to wrong file versions, fixed reg:

    And KB5005088 finally installs without error. Seems like July Rollup messed that up.


    Edit Sept 21: Another similar July registry problem lurking apparently, failing September 2021 Rollup with code 8007371B again.

    this time reg contains an additional version entry:

    I'm unclear on something, starting with a clean installation should all servicing stack updates be installed or only the latest?

    Latest is currently July 2021 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB5004378), is that all that's needed?

    Thank you

    Moin T1925redtr!

    Before using BypassESU v9 or v11 after an clean installation, the following updates should be applied:

    KB3138612: Windows Update-Client

    KB4474419: Update SHA-2-Code-Signing Version 3

    KB4490628: Servicing Stack Update

    KB5004378: Latest Extended Servicing Stack Update

    More information can be found in the _ReadMe text file of the BypassESU package.

    Please read!

    abbodi1406 has taken a lot of trouble to explain all this in detail.

    Try right-clicking on the link and click "save link as". That should open up the window. If you're using Chrome you'll also have to click "Keep" if it comes up with a malware warning. Always happens to me on the MS update catalog.

    Also if you're using any privacy extensions like uBlock, AdBlock or Ghostery, try whilelisting the update catalog site in those, as they seem to block downloads from there.

    Unfortunately, I am getting Error 66A while trying to install KB5004871 (2021-08 .NET) although KB5005088 (2021-08 Rollup) installed fine. Please tell me how should I resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.

    Edited: After replacing a missing installer file, the update installed fine. Thanks to the Bypass Team again. It is due to the hard work and dedication of yours that we are getting updates smoothly.

    Hello everyone,
    I'm using this fantastic tool for a long time. After a Windows update some time ago, Acrobat Reader stopped working with error “Acrobat Failed to Load core DLL”
    I temporarily uninstall BypassESU completely and this solved the issue, then I found this notice I forgot:

    - Important Notice about the .NET 4 ESU Bypass

    it has incompatibility issue and may cause msiexec.exe or other programs to stop working
    therefore, it's recommended to install it only when new .NET 4 updates are available, then remove it after installing the update


    I know it's already written in the first post, but probably repeat could help others

    Regards,
    Pyornkrachzark

    Thanks for answering, I do always read all documentation, I just wasn't 100% clear on whether servicing stack updates were cumulative and was trying to get clarification. I understand now that you can simply install only the latest with the prerequisite that the SHA-2 code signing updates are installed.

    TrueImage.exe (Acronis true Image backup) not starting on 32bit error:
    Faulting application path: D:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\TrueImage.exe
    Faulting module path: D:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6229_none_d089f796442de10e\MSVCR80.dll​

    The ms c++ runtime dll is not executing correctly allthough the dll loaded fine...

    Removing the .NET 4 ESU Bypass solves the problem.

    maybe this can help others facing same problem !

    Sorry for the late reply. Actually, I shifted all my Windows Installer files from C drive to another drive in order to save space in C Drive. When I got the above error, I just copy pasted all the Installer files back to C drive. That solved the problem.

    Yes, this is easy right - just see list of installed updates, if you have installed newer then latest non ESU.

    Do i need do this procedure just one time and I'm in ? Or i need update this frequently to keep getting security updates?
     
  17. One time for Bypass ESU but if any update to Bypass ESU is published then need to see whats updated & if theres a need to run updated tool or not according to our needs. Mostly it's updated for .net .

    Hello,

    after a full installation of BypassESU-v11 (option 1 of the menu) when I tried to remove WU ESU Patcher (option 4 of the menu) this error is returned in the output:
    ...
    removing "C:\Windows\WuEsu\"
    removing "C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng3.dll"
    'removing' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
    removing schedule task "Patch WU ESU"
    ...

    I think in line 320 of file LiveOS-Setup.cmd there is a missing echo command, so this line should be
    if exist "%SysPath%\sle.dll" (echo removing "%SystemRoot%\System32\sle.dll"&del /f /q "%SysPath%\sle.dll")

    Could you please double check and if you agree update the cmd file?
    Thanks,
    Pyornkrachzark
