    @parafer 13 months ago simplix started using KB3125574-v4 rollup in the updatepack. That replaced a boatload of updates and the updatepack works much faster since then. That's why you see ~50-60 updates in the installed list.
    Read the OP, you'll find out how to have DirectX 9.0c, .NET Framework 4.8 and Visual C++ runtimes integrated in the windows 7 image.

    Thanks for the explanation! Interesting.

    Since I use sysprep (so install on live OS but in VM) I have an .iso that I load with all my .NET, DirectX, VC Runtimes and some extra runtime installers, and various cleanup scripts and tweaks that I apply in the VM before finalize.

    Does vmware have an option to emulate EFI bios similar to virtualbox? That's the only thing I can think of that could cause this hang.

    /NVMe - integrates NVMe support(KB2990941-v3-x86-x64 and KB3087873-v2-x86-x64) into the install.wim and winre.wim

    switch to exclude nvme update ?

    Yes if we use NVME with lsi logic it hangs on post OOBE first login but if we use SCSI with NVME & be sure that we are using PCIE based NVME on host machine then it works . i have tested it by my own to install win7 as guest os via vmware workstation not to use vmware player :)

    The /NVMe switch has been removed a while ago.

    I don't maintain the updatepacks, @simplix does, and there is no harm in integrating the 2 nvme support updates from msft.

    Best would be to stop using win 7 on modern hardware entirely.

    If you need windows 7 for old business application , you can virtualize

    But unable to have up to date using your pack because nvme ( unusable on vmware 14 and 16 )

    Unusable on virtualbox ,

    If your pack not working on specific real hardware it's not critical ,

    But on hypervisor .... not depend on real hardware !
