    Hello. Thank you so much for this. Its truly a blessing. But I have to ask...Is there any solution currently for enabling the ESU updates on POSReady7?

    Not really

    that WSUS proxy thing worked for me only inside VM with Fiddler4 enabled
    didn't work otherwise

    Hi
    For first time since in a long time I got "fail at install" kb5014012. I tried two times and fail to install. It reboots and rolling back. I have the latest patch.v11
    Anybody else have the same problem ?

    (OP)
    It's not easy to explain, as it was a one try shot

    on Host OS, i ran the modded WsusProxy (port 8530) along with Fiddler (port 8888, and set ReverseProxyForPort to 8530)
    in the POSReady7 VM, i set WUServer to 192.168.111.1:8888 (IP port for host VMnet1), and installed Fiddler root certificate

    Being as though POSReady7 gets extended support for 1 year and 9 months longer than the other version (Jan, 14 2013 vs Oct 14, 2024), making it the longest supported Windows 7 experience, I think the community should come together and find a solution for getting ESU updates to work on it. Thanks for your contribution. If anyone here has any knowledge regarding the technical reason why the AIO script in the OP post doesn't work for POSReady7 I would greatly appreciate if they could share that info.

    With XP a simple registry hack tricked full versions into installing POSReady updates. If we're lucky someone will find a way to do it in Windows 7 as well.

    I have seen the same thing on my machine. I was running v9 so I uninstalled it and tried v11 but install gets to 95% and reverts the changes over the course of 2 reboots.

    I also tried a manual install of the update and got the same issue.

    7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    I'm not sure about what to do after running the `Full installation` option. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Even an old post would suffice

    OP doesn't mention what to do after running the script. Should I follow this two-year-old tutorial?
    I don't think so, considering it's clearly outdated
    Are ESUs offered through Windows Update? Or do I need to install them manually?
    Do I need to reboot the computer after running the script?
    These are the kind of questions I couldn't find an answer to

    The tutorial still is accurate, only the ESU Updates Overview is not updated..

    On the .NET Frameworks updates, do I need to install those cab files as well?

    And if so, where do I extract them to?

    Thanks

    I can't install the 2022-05 update, any info I can give you to help me troubleshoot this?
    During installation, something fails and changes are reverted

    Update
    Tried using DiSM, and nothing goes wrong (as in there's no error in the log)
    Everything happens after rebooting. I'm guessing I made a mistake when running the script or something, since Microsoft Support says
