    That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.
    Thanks!

    Hello everyone, this thread is amazing, been browsing it for days. I have a few questions, sorry if they're already answered but need to be sure.

    1. Are all updates from 2011 and after SP1 till now included in the pack (except those that are excluded of course)?
    2. I have sizeable amount of updates already installed, will installer recognize and not try to reinstall them?
    3. After I install UpdatePack7R2-20.7.15.exe can I run montly patches on top of it without any other intervention?
    4. Lets say I miss a few patches and decide to install the latest one, will it include all updates from the previous patches I missed?

    Every new released updatpack is followed by a log which shows all updates integrated on a clean MSDN win 7 install.wim.
    Yes.
    On Pro, Ultimate and Enterprise, yes (when msft doesn't change anything in the ESU requirements).
    Yes.

    I'm on Ultimate, great. Many tnx Enthousiast. So BypassESU is not necessary, I'm good and covered with simplix?

    Provided you use SimpliX to update, no need to install the BypassESU.

    Updatepack 20.8.13 was released earlier. I have already downloaded it and I am seeding it now. In case anyone wants to compare
    Code:
    $ md5sum UpdatePack7R2-20.8.13.exe 
    5a87af6d5aba1c490985da32a275e934  UpdatePack7R2-20.8.13.exe
    $ sha1sum UpdatePack7R2-20.8.13.exe 
    cd51946d136218a9d6021545975c5f800ed4bad7  UpdatePack7R2-20.8.13.exe

    If I put dotNetFx48_20200811_x64.WA in the same folder and run UpdatePack7R2-20.8.13.exe nothing happens. But I don't see this (KB4569754) in the installed updates and Windows Updates also finds 2020-08 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB4570506). Am I doing something wrong?

    Don't ignore the need for a reboot.

    Shouldn't a reboot be automatic after running UpdatePack7R2--ie11++.exe? Anyway, even after manually rebooting there is no change.

    Did you put the correct arch. WA next to the pack?

    :thinking: seems so.
