@abbodi1406 Thanks for this. i installed successfully KB4528069 after following instructions above. so if i understand what you said above, now that this update is installed, that means that i will get updates through WU over 2020 until 2023 on my win7 machine. Can you confirm ?
I am moving this to MDL Projects and Applications and stick it. Please no alternative links to different files. Only OP supports this MDL project here.
To be clear, this method is originally @abbodi1406 's idea (he is too humble to mention it.), and mspaintmsi and others contributed to it. (mspaintmsi posted this method on nsaneforum.)
@the_soft45 Apparently, the test update installs on Vista without any problems and does not need any tools to do so. Just in case, we have a fix ready for when Microsoft changes this. (It'll most likely change in the near future as Microsoft probably just forgot that Vista still exists)
@paintMSI The ESU eligibility component (amd64_microsoft-windows-s..edsecurityupdatesai_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6003.20777_none_c87c6e70d53a1370.manifest) is only installed on Server editions Client editions only install calc.exe but i think you can force installing the ESU component on client expand.exe the update cab, then install the relevant sub-package Code: start /w PkgMgr.exe /ip /m:"expanded_folder\package_2_for_kb4528081~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.2.mum" /quiet /norestart according to the manifest, it should work similar to Windows 7 but the returned SKU should always be ServerStandard does Vista have TrustedInstaller.exe?
@abbodi1406 TrustedInstaller exists in Windows Vista and superUser should work just as good on Vista as on other versions. I'll try playing around some more with the things you provided. Thanks .-.
@abbodi1406 Also if i understand well, the project will also allow to receive updates on unsupported win7 editions (home premium, basic home and starter). Confirm this ?
ok thanks for your reply one thing i didn't get , the project through the script "install.bat" is already configured by default to allow to receive updates on all win7 editions. Right ? So what's the point of editing "install.bat" and set ForceHook to 1 as it is mentionned in first post ?
Where do I even begin.. Do not, under absolutely any circumstances..... This is certainly NOT the way you want your system to die. Replacing system libraries is a very bad idea. Everything that uses SLC functions outside of the ones implemented will either throw an error or immediately crash. (in the worst case, break existing configuration) The kernel will be fine as it obtains everything from the registry, but most likely after some time a BSOD will occur because of an NPE caused by more important parts of the system. This will entirely break half of Windows' Licensing and half of Windows along with it. We're trying to do it cleanly and (to some extent) transparently, so nothing breaks along with it. Take a look at how @abbodi1406 's implementation works and try to build upon that.
