Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher is complementary to BypassESU v12 both are needed just run WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd and choose option 1
Please forgive this question but I just can't find the file WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd. I thought it would be in the bypass download but I just can't find it. I have been reading everything but keep getting lost. I did run the standard v12 bypass and manually installed the embedded update but that seemed too easy. Sorry to put you through this again.
in a vm installation, first install BypassESU-v12_u then, Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher choose the 2 install , then connect to the internet and get this, why
Why what? all of them you get with Win7 too (except the Analyzer updates are for Server, hide them) OOB KB5010798 and .NET Rollup are superseded, but they didn't fix their metadata
Hi @abbodi1406, Thanks for your relentless efforts that allow us to still use Windows 7 in a safe way. Your latest WU ESU Patcher works great for me, both for x86 and x64 VM. One question : . Under "Important notes" from the abovementioned link : * Windows Server 2008 R2 category is recommended for Windows 7 x64. Hence Option 2. . In your latest messages, you recommend Option 1, hence Windows Embedded 7 category. From previous messages, I understand that option 2 will offer updates after October 2023, hence longer than option 1. On the other hand, using option 1 offers the strict necessary updates for Windows 7, while option 2 offers a longer list with some updates that seem specific to Windows Server. Therefore, I tend to prefer option 1 for the time being, to avoid headaches on what has to be installed or not from the longer list of Windows Server updates. Any recommendation or comment on this reasoning ? Thanks in advance and have a good week, Bill.
No offense, but we are hardly trying to keep track .. as a general rule of thumb you first search, read, then ask .. most of the time your question would be already answered ! As @FuzzleSnuz stated in a previous post in this thread it's a mouse & cat play .. guys @ M$oft just making things harder & harder just for money & greed !
Windows Embedded 7 category patch affect SppWmiProvider calls (e.g. slmgr.vbs or wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct..), but the impact is minimum Windows Server 2008 R2 category patch is isolated for wuaueng.dll only and i thought Option 2 might offer more products for Microsoft Update, or it's compatible with MS Security Essentials / Windows Defender updates but it seems both works similar for that
i'm still debating on how to add the new standalone "WU ESU patcher" with BypassESU, or to add it at all
I have an install of Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium, however, whenever I run the bypass esu LiveOS Setup, I get the following error: "The image file C:\Users\Administrator\esu\bin\superUser64.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine" According to Microsoft's support website, 2008 R2 for Itanium should still be receiving ESU updates, is there a way to fix the esu bypasser so that it supports IA64?
Itanium is different processor architecture from x86 and amd64. Just like how you cannot run Itanium executables on an x86 or amd64 machine, you cannot run x86 or amd64 executables on an Itanium machine. For reasons™, the vast majority of the world has abandoned Itanium, and it is becoming exceedingly rare to find a third party company, let alone an individual, who builds an Itanium release of their software. The ESU bypass is like the other 99.99% of contemporary Windows software in existence and the PEs included are built for x86 or amd64. abbodi would have to change his release engineering to produce an Itanium release of the bypass. Depending on how many external dependencies he has (superUser64.exe looks like one), this will either be a slog to find them or flat out impossible if those projects do not provide Itanium binaries or source.
