Is this now the last Simplix update version since the official Microsoft updates has officially ended for Windows 7? Or is it expected that there will be future versions with tweaks or other updates? I've seen it said that Microsoft still might release the occasional update for serious security matters.
simplix answered this question yesterday (google translate): "Regarding future updates: wait and see."
Exactly, it's the right thing to do. For installation on a system in use, it's best to do it in safe mode.
Never needed to run it in safe mode on a live system, but i never used it online anyway, only for testing purposes.
im having an issue with UpdatePack7R2-20.1.17 after installing i get a black desktop wallpaper no matter what i set my wallpaper to but the previous update UpdatePack7R2-19.12.15 works just fine
Maybe because of this? https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-goes-black-after-january-update.80975/unread I didn't experience it myself, on all my tests the standard or MRP backgrounds were there.
Updated the OP with Updatepack 20.1.17: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...egrate-hotfixes-into-win7-distribution.45005/
First I have to check the bin error in all cmd's, and testing a new option by @SunLion + putting in DaRT settings by script.
According to Simplix site: "If there is UpdatePack7R2Start.cmd next to the set, it will be executed before installing updates, UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd after installation, UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd after integration of updates". I have used UpdatePack7R2Finish.cmd and UpdatePack7R2Wim.cmd previously to integrate drivers and clean up, but it doesn't seem to be working now. Simplix window used to display "an external application is running". Example below. They are being ignored by the current updatepack. Has anybody else noticed this?
