EXACTLY! Because the rest of your system, including all of your other apps, are working correctly, I think your question really boils down to this: "I have a Win 7 system that, for the most part, works correctly. The OS and almost all of my apps are working well after updating my system with Win 7 updates, using the Simplix updater. All except one app. I believe that nothing is wrong with that app, since that same app works correctly in other Win 7 installations. All of the installations have similar hardware installed. [Assuming this is true. If the problem installation has any different hardware, that might help point to the problem.] Those other installations have different numbers of system updates applied, and those numbers of system updates are different than those on my problem installation. This leads me to believe that the problem is probably one or more particular Win 7 updates that are interfering with my app. The app I'm having a problem with is __________. In my problem installation, the app fails to start. It fails right after the opening splash screen and an error is found in the Event Viewer. Since the error is via werfault.exe the amount of error detail is limited. There is no BSOD. There is an exception code: 0xC0000005 which I relate to a memory error. That would be typical of an app trying to reach an address in a module that is not there because Microsoft changed it. It's not as if the app is trying to access illegal memory, which might produce a BSOD. It likely just came to an address with a CALL that leads nowhere. Is anyone aware of any particular Win 7 updates that cause problems with the app __________, or have you seen similar behavior in other circumstances?" Did I describe the situation correctly? If you would have stated your problem like that from the beginning, I don't think that any "reverse engineering" attention would have been applied to your situation. I think it could still be handled that way, if you would like. It seems that your reverse engineering background might have made you overly cautious and complicated the presentation of your situation. Or maybe I'm just naive, and I'm not being cautious enough. In any case, best of luck in your investigation, and I'm looking forward to hearing what you find out. Cheers and Regards, my friend. EDIT: It just occurred to me to ask if you have run SFC on the problem installation, and if so, what was the result?
I used code belove but ie11 isnt there.. everything was integrated except ie11 UpdatePack7R2.exe /ie11 /WimFile=C:\install.wim /Index=5
@bphlpt mate, just let it go. Let the guy "reverse engineer" as much as he likes. It's a certain type of people who are incapable of providing simple information because of some weird, outlandish reason. The user is already on my ignore list because of the page and a half of walls of nonsense he keeps posting. I suggest you do the same. @Difermo Despite not needing the /ie11 switch anymore, ie11 integration is still shown in the integration window(and in the log after completion), so double check with your log and maybe even post it here in a [ code ] [ /code ] tag(without the spaces).
Sigh! Then I definitely have both of them installed. I will try updating with the latest update pack and report back. For the record, I run the 64bit version of the app on 64bit w7.
You are listed as an MDL expert yet you lack the reading comprehension to understand a simple explanation. I had to repeat my explanation while dumbing it down. Your first reply to me was so oblique as to be unintelligible. I have been posting in forums for more than 20 years and have no problem being understood. I post at win-raid regularly and no one has trouble understanding what I am saying. Why are you having so much trouble understanding a very simple explanation? 1)My app was working. 2) I applied UpdatePack7R2-21.7.7.exe and the app stopped working. Seriously, do you have that much of a problem understanding simple logic? If I had stated the problem that simply you would have been all over mee wanting more information.
Thanks for your help and your good wishes. I have run sfc and chkdsk. As I said, the problem began after applying UpdatePack7R2-21.7.7.exe and that indicates a particular problem with the app, not the update. I'm almost sorry I asked. @shhnedo read far too much into the problem and mislead you into thinking there were deeper issues. Anyone who regards himself as an expert and lacks the patience or ability to understand a problem should not be advising anyone.
First verify the intentions and contributions of the members helping here, before you post judging and somewhat insulting opinions about respected MDL members trying to help people, only because you can't handle the answers given.
I used UpdatePack7R2 21.9.15 in a computer which had a clean install of Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit done to it over the weekend and which was up to date to its January 2020 EOL date. It worked fine and brought the operating system up to date to September 2021. I ran Windows Update afterwards, and other than wanting to install the Microsoft Edge browser, it showed no further updates were available.
There's also the up4o update pack from @3zero3 - unfortunately, he didn't get a dedicated topic. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-8-1-hotfix-repository.47590/page-171#post-1692521
On a fresh installation of w7 that was just updated with simplix 21.9.15, I wanted to install powershell 3+ earlier. Since I could not find an old version for it, I went straight for 7.x (7.1.4). In order for that to be installed on w7, windows management framework 5.1 needs to be installed beforehand. And in order for that to be installed, some KB3191566 update was downloaded and installed. Wasn't that supposed to be in the update pack? As for my app that could not connect to its server 5 days ago, I updated my system with simplix 21.9.15 and it now works.
