KB5053620 installed successfully here. P.S: No problems with .NET Framework since the switch to BypassESU v13 in November that Kirklang & AutumnBreeze reported on the previous page.
KB5053620 (2025-03 Monthly Rollup) and KB5053593 (IE Security Update) both installed successfully, no issues thus far. Also no issues with .NET Framework updates on Bypass v13.
Erm, the Monthly Cumulative Rollup already includes the IE Security update. The latter is only required if you use the Security-only updates.
KB5053620 (2025-03 Monthly Rollup) successfully installed. No detectable trace of .NET update in my chronology, but presence of KB5049619 and previous ones in uninstall updates panel, because of my manual installation using dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer_v4. That confirms that, in my case, BypassESU-v13f is not able to find any .NET update. Why? I don't have any idea... Thanks and regards
I never had issues with it if you have KB3125574 installed, then you can install KB2992611 without effects
@abbodi1406, already explained it. If you have a .NET 4 ESU, make the option to deactivate + PC RESTART and again activate. Then look for! In BypassESU, at point [8] {Suppressor: Unremovable} do you have that I don't have! But don't panic, there are differences between your and my Windows.
Moin @ All! My March 2025 ESUpdate experience for Windows 7 Pro / Enterprise SP1 x64 systems: "Licensing method": KB4528069 & "new" BypassESU-v13f "Installing method": Manual download and installation via Microsoft®Update-Catalog KB5053593 (Cumulative Security Update for IE 11 for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64) -> succesfully installed KB5053627 (Security Only Quality Update for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64) -> succesfully installed The current Security Intelligence Update was downloaded and installed by the auto-update function of MSE. @ abbodi1406: Great job & thx for your support!
I don't have KB3125574 installed... (history goes back to Sep. 2011) Do I have to install that first? I hope not. I thought I was completely up to date.
I have sucesfully downloaded and installed KB5049619 manually without using dotNetFx4_ESU)_installer. So what is the advantage of using this installer? What does it do? I apologise, I really don't understand much.
KB2992611 is not superseded (fully replaced) yet, and still needed if WU offer it or installed again due Server 2008 R2 category, then it's safe to reinstall
A couple days ago, I was looking into Windows 11 and 7 .msu update files, when I came across some files/manifests starting with "x86". This got me thinking: those files should be for the WOW64 environment, but are full-fledged 32-bit files, so, isn't it possible to pull them out of the update package and copy them into the System32 folder of a 32-bit Windows 7 install?
That sounds like asking for trouble, especially if the files are involved in booting. If you do this then they will not match the version numbers or checksums from the manifest files (leading to future SFC errors and integrity problems when installing later updates) that you did not take, and also files might not get registered properly... altogether it seems much easier to just use the proper 32bit version of the update for the 32bit system.
So well I said this bcs, well, Microsoft no longer offers update packages for x86 systems. However, I have a feeling they still make them; moreover, in ntoskrnl I literally found the build string: "7601.27615.x86fre.win7sp1_ldr_escrow.250221-0850". I actually tried doing some "manual updates" by gathering those WOW64 files and putting them inside a 32bit VM. So far, I've replaced all files with a date of 2025 until the ones starting with I; apart from some problematic files (apisetschema.dll, bcrypt.dll, gdi32.dll, so far), I was able to boot and get the registry to display the updated build string, but lost audio capability (no output despite it being shown), had problems installing IE11 and UAC prompts no longer recognizing most core system files (unknown publisher). However, I think this can still be worked around, however it will take me some time; I'm not even sure if that'll work but if it does it would be better than staying at October patches. This madness isn't even needed for x64 Win7, nor Vista either x64 or x86.
This is the current version of Internet Explorer 11 after the March 2025 security monthly quality rollup for Windows Server 2008 R2 was installed.
