    All you need is the provided DirectX_June2010.wa addons.

    How can I verify that all my *.wa (directx, .net 4.8 and vcredist) files were installed with simplix? I have them in the same folder as the exe (the 14.1.20 one) and its installation was completed successfully.
    However, when I tried running an app that relies on .net 4.0+ (microsoft toolkit), a popup came up saying that it is not installed. So I installed them all by hand afterwards.

    In general all would be logged in the log.

    But iirc 14.1.20 doesn't support WA when running the updatepack online (have to check for offline usage).

    I just put the system back to its place, so now I can't check for a log :(
    Do the newer versions of simplix support them?

    UpdatePack7R2-14.1.20.exe
    Was it online or offline usage of the updatepack?

    If by "online" you mean on a running system, then yes. It was installed on a system with a fresh install of windows 7. And those windows 7 were installed from the stock iso.

    Ok, when already reverted back/clean installed then the log is gone.

    Why didn't you use the latest 20.10.12? And check the log in c:\windows

    You probably missunderstood me, so let me make it simpler.
    I did a fresh install of w7 earlier (old pc to be used for a company's office purposes during quarantine). When it finished, I installed simplix to update it... like I always do with fresh installs. I keep the exe file in the same folder as the .wa ones for it to install them as well, right?

    As for the why I used 14.1.20 and not a newer one, the reason is simple. This is the last one that includes all the "legal" updates for windows 7 and doesn't use bypass esu for the rest. It's for a company and you never know who may check it one day...

    17.1.20 (jan. 17. 2020) is the latest pre-ESU stage pack.

    So, you don't update it with the latest updates?

    You are right about the name. I thought it was named after the date windows 7 went eol (jan 14th 2020), my bad.
    Code:
    $ ls
    DirectX_June2010_x64.WA     dotNetFx48_20201110_x86.WA  UpdatePack7R2-20.12.10.exe
    DirectX_June2010_x86.WA     dotNetFx48LP_x64_ELL.WA     vcredist_x64_Win7_20201208.WA
    dotNetFx48_20201110_x64.WA  UpdatePack7R2-20.1.17.exe   vcredist_x86_Win7_20201208.WA
    I did not use the latest version because I want to avoid any legal or similar issues. Companies get checked a lot for illegal software etc.

    In that case, learn how to offline integrate the updates and .wa addons using simplix updatepack. OP contains the needed information.

    If i would have known that you use it in a business environment i would be the first to say to not use any non official stuff like ESU Bypass.
    Can you remember when @simplix started to support the WA's online and offline? Iirc you posted something about it a while back.

    MSMG uses a modified/own version.
    No, all is optional.
    You only need to put the WA files next to the updatepack itself and all will be integrated/installed.
    The tool offers you to create AiO or single index ISOs.

    and regarding AIO sorry for my opinion
    but i dunno what's the purpose of AIO in 2021 why would i carry so much editions of windows in one iso when one is enough (mostly the pro edition)
    and no x86 needed now as all new hardware is x64 now, so all you need is x64 iso pro (preferably ultimate in case of windows 7)
    this AIO concept was a thing long time ago and there were lot of tools to make aio iso easily i remember making lot of them that time
    also they have lot of disadvantages like booting from x64 editions needs some editing in boot files
    but things changed now and i think carrying just one windows edition is enough
    and if i need any other editions or architectures better have them in separate iso's
    thank you

    The tool just offers to create an AiO in the same time a single index ISO is made, and you can select any edition to be created.
    I have some x86 hardware to service from time to time and again, x86 is optional (atm even a separate script is needed to run for x86).

    For all other questions / remarks, to me it looks like you didn't even read the OP of the tool thread or heavily misunderstood what it actually does.

    You asked:
    I assumed this was about the need to integrate them.
    But both are dx9c, the latest and last release of directx

    thank you
    yeah i didn't read the whole AIO topic i just assume the purpose of it is for making multi editions in one iso
    if i want to create just a single iso i don't need that script right ? or does it have any benefits other than creating AiO ?

    i meant the need to integrate both of them if the purpose is getting directX integrated since they are different
    not the need of directX itself

    Then first start reading the provided info;)

    The packs and the technical methods of integrating are different, the content should be the same.
