    If v4 (used as intended) works for you and you don't need the WU patcher, all is fine:)

    I can't choose anything from Live setup. After the right click run as administrator, the cmd window flashes for like ms and disappeares. Why is that happening?

    EDIT: ok , I have moved the file to a simple path but the only options I get are these, no number 1 or 2 at all:

    ____________________________________________________________

    [3] Install WU ESU Patcher {source file: wuaueng.dll}

    [9] Exit

    ____________________________________________________________

    Choose a menu option:

    Well, not trying to be a smart ass my friend, but I thought i answered that already. ↓ o_O
    Now it's not required you go back to the easier method, only I've yet to figure a reason why you wouldn't want to.

    Read page 95. It is completely normal and is what you should see if you already have KB4528069 installed.

    Hi, thanks, I have the KB4528069 installed. So I should just go on and install with the option 3, the only option offered?

    Yes. if KB4528069 is successfully installed, you can install the WU ESU patcher.

    Firstly , many thanks to all the Devs , beta testers etc.

    I got an old laptop (Win 7 Enterprise x32) out the cupboard to test this. No updates of any type had been done for almost 12 months.

    Firstly, I updated it via WU , and got all the official updates installed that it would allow me to download and install.

    I then installed ESU bypass v5.0 + The patcher to get all future updates via WU (Option 1)

    I rebooted , expecting WU to prompt me to install all of the Feb 2020 updates. BUT it only made
    kb4537829 available for me to install (after forcing a recheck - the others from Feb 2020 did not show up.

    I was able to install them manually though (Apart from .KB4528069 which of course, was taken care of by the v5.0 ESU bypass).. and everything installed correctly after a reboot..

    I am not complaining or anything , just interested to know why WU did not
    make them available , when it did kb4537829?. Surely if the patcher was not working , then WU would have not offered me kb4537829. Or am I totally misunderstanding this?

    Thank in advance...

    Did you install the ESU Licensing Preparation update (kb4538483), needed for WU to offer the updates, after the bypass was installed?

    Afaik, the 2020-02 SSU (kb4537829) is not an ESU checking update, it's offered when all other Important and optional updates are installed by WU.

    EDIT: the feb 2020 ssu is not offered when the bypass + wu patcher didn't run, i got it offered when i ran the bypass + wu patcher but didn't install the ESU license prep. update (kb4538483), and only after wu was satisfied (except the lp's) and a reboot.

    Probably because it is not an actual ESU update, it got offered without kb4538483. When installed kb4538483 after this, the 2020-02 rollup is offered.

    @Enthousiast

    No, I did not , I MANUALLY added it afterwards..

    I guess that must be it. My fault that I should have read the tutorial more closely.

    I guess the fact that it did offer me kb4537829 , means that its the type of update that is offered to
    everyone? , regardless of if you have the WU Patch or bypass installed.

    Thanks for your time. I have a few more machines to do for my neighbours , and this will really help me...

    Got it to install successfully on my desktop, however on my laptop I am getting the following errors when trying to run the automated installer and selecting option 1:

    Error: 3
    The system cannot find the path specified.
    The DISM log file can be found at C:\windows\logs\dism\dism.log

    Failed installing KB4528069 package.
    restart the system and try again.

    Press any key to exit​

    I've tried rebooting but same result.
    I had installed all available windows updates previously so the prerequisite packages are present.

    If this is helpful, the Error entries and activity immediately prior from the DSIM.log are here:

    EDIT: I manually created the above folder and put the cab in it and everything installed successfully.
