someone help me download 32-bit and language pack? SW_DVD9_NTRL_Windows_Embed_8_MultiLang_MLF_X18-93828.iso SW_DVD9_NTRL_Win_Embed_Industry_ENT_8_W32_English_MultiLang_MLF_X18-93020.iso
What is the best / a way to install the needed updates until 2016 and how to convert the Industry Enterprise installation to Embedded Standard for the updates until 2023?
Thanks for the answer! Just regedit is a little vague, it is probably not enough to just change the EditionID in "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" to Embedded from EmbeddedIndustryE. Could you please elaborate a little?
stop windows update ( net stop wuauserv ) delete software distribution folder edit registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "InstallationType"="Embedded" "EditionID"="Embedded" "ProductName"="Windows Embedded 8 Standard" reboot and relaunch windows update => for windows 8 embedded industry 8.0 or and any windows 8.0 build ========= for 8.1 any build ======= for windows 8.1 embedded industry ( not change required ) ==== ESU For 8.0 or 8.1 ==== update up to 2026 ! use bypass esu blue ( windows 8 section to have server 2012 / 2012R2 ESU update on windows 8.0 / 8.1 ( 2012/R2 esu update up to 2026 )
Thank you, the edition switch and the updates until July 2023 work perfectly! I just have a question with the updates since EOL of Embedded 8 Standard, I can not get the WSUS Proxy to work on it and as far as I have seen, just Bypass ESU doesn't install any updates anymore. The vcredist will not install, tried a few things but to no avail. It errors out with: '"C:\Windows\SysNative\wusa.exe" "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\B5943B2700B56F5F8DC307A9E237F23FCA5D8B70\packages\Patch\x64\Windows8-RT-KB2999226-x64.msu" /quiet /norestart' Error 0x80240017: Failed to execute MSU package.On normal Windows 8 Enterprise it works without problems. Did I do something wrong, or how did you solve it?
did you try unpacking the msu and installing the cab using dism /add-package? that sysnative looks suspicious to me.
Check C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log to see what it's blocked, because EmbeddedEdition is listed as applicable unless that's for Embedded Industry not Standard
Yeah, it is Windows Embedded 8 Industry Enterprise. Is there a workaround like modifying the .mum? But I am not sure how to modify it to work with Embedded 8 Industry Enterprise.
check the logs Apparently nothing prevents the package from being installed, maybe it's a specific problem to your installation (This is for x86 but is not relevant here) Code: <package identifier="KB2999226" applicabilityEvaluation="deep" releaseType="Update" restart="possible"> <parent buildCompare="EQ" serviceCompare="GE" integrate="separate" disposition="detect"> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package" version="6.2.9200.16384" processorArchitecture="x86" language="neutral" buildType="release" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" versionScope="nonSxS" /> <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-EmbeddedEdition" version="6.2.9200.16384" processorArchitecture="x86" language="neutral" buildType="release" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" versionScope="nonSxS" /> </parent>
So far I could identify this Error in the log: Code: 2024-02-01 18:55:14, Error DISM DISM Package Manager: PID=2256 TID=744 The package Package_for_KB2999226 is not applicable to the image. - CPackageManagerCLIHandler::Private_ProcessPackageChange 2024-02-01 18:55:14, Info DISM DISM Package Manager: PID=2256 TID=744 Initiating Changes on Package with values: 4, 7 - CDISMPackage::Internal_ChangePackageState 2024-02-01 18:55:15, Info DISM DISM Package Manager: PID=2256 TID=744 CBS session options=0x100! - CDISMPackageManager::Internal_Finalize 2024-02-01 18:55:16, Info DISM DISM Package Manager: PID=2256 TID=2528 Error in operation: the package is not applicable.

But here the full log of that Transaction in case I missed something important: PS is there a better way to attach logs and long posts? Sorry for making such a long post.
I wish to see more of cbs.log Yepp, just zip them and push the "upload a file" button Depending on your browser even CTRL+C > CTRL+V in the text input filed should do the job (at least it works for images)
Sure thing! I'll add the matching CBS parts of 2 different fresh VMs I created for testing, no idea why they are so different though, but the CBS.txt is the matching one to the DISM log.
Seem it blames for a parent package absent, but if I understand the log correctly the parent package it's looking for, is itself. So I'm a bit confused. Again matter for @abbodi1406
Yeah, it seems EmbeddedEdition is for Standard only you can install UCRT manually though, the update merely place files in \System32 and \SysWOW64 expand.exe Windows8-RT-KB2999226-x64.cab to temp folder copy the files from amd64_microsoft-windows-u..rsalcrt-apifwd-win8_* and amd64_microsoft-windows-ucrt_* (either version works) to \System32 copy the files from x86_microsoft-windows-u..rsalcrt-apifwd-win8_* and x86_microsoft-windows-ucrt_* (either version works) to \SysWOW64
