Thank you! That did the work!

 

Dear experts,
can You please help me?
Here my preparatory work:
New / fresh Windows 7 SP1 64-bit system
1. All regular KBs installed
2. All recommended KBs from the ReadMe.txt of the "Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher and BypassESU-v13f folders" installed.
3. "WU_ESU_PATCHER.cmd" plus Option 3 (Server 2008R2 and Win7 category) installed as administrator and without virus protection.

Shortly after a reboot, the first (11) KBs appeared: 3*Win7 and 8*2008R2. I was able to download and install all - exept one.

Problem:
During the first "Installation reboot," three 2008R2 KBs were automatically uninstalled.
Now I'm afraid to install any more 2008R2 KBs. So far I have blocked over 40 KBs.

In the meantime, I've uninstalled the patch again using Option 4.

But I'd like to continue using ESU until 2026. Can you please give me some advice?
Can I configure the ESU update (Server 2008R2) so that I only receive security KBs, for example?

Greetings

 

Can always use the SimpliX Pack if you don't want to screw around with the ESU Patcher.

 

Thanks for your reply!
Is Windows 7 ESU KBs automatically integrated (Simplix Pack) and can be installed?

 

Yes.

 

Thanks for your quik reply!

 

Due to protestware changes in 2022, my trust in this pack has been permanently broken. I use the last version prior to the changes. I also apply TSforge for ESU year 3, then install all the updates that remain in Windows Update, and apply TSforge again for ESU year 6. However, the updates for Windows Server 2008R2 don't appear. What is the proper way to act here, so that I don't install something that I don't need, and don't "fix" something that ain't broken (bypassing ESU activation that is already activated via TSforge)?

 

I maintain my own personalized update lists, which are compiled from information found on various forums and blogs, and for Windows 7, there are numerous alternative resources available.

I think you still need the BypassESU-v13f installed (minus the dot net bypass).

The updates are cumulative. I install them manually every month: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1871248

As of April 2025: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1875455

Use the latest WU ESU Patcher and switch to the Windows Server 2008 R2 category:

My two cents.

 

Is the source code of the binaries here (like msiesu.dll), or information where they were obtained (if official Microsoft binaries and/or patched in some way) available?

 

Sorry, I meant getting Windows Server 2008 R2 updates on Windows 7. Installing this update didn't change anything.

The question on the source code of the DLL files specific to this project remains open.

 

It means you have something to hide. Will avoid deploying it on production machines in such case.

I'm getting the feeling it's a troll. First he refuses to use SimpliX because it being 'protestware' (wtf) and now he's accusing you of hiding something shady.

 

I'd say more paranoidish (a word?) than trollish (another word?)...
