Unless someone can resolve the issues with the Windows Server 2008 R2 security monthly quality rollup, the long post-EOL period (February 2020 - October 2024) for Windows 7 SP1 64-bit has come to an end.
Sadly not. Smart folks are trying to find a workaround. github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1012 I would be sticking with November 2024 Internet Explorer and October 2024 Security/Rollup Update on all my systems for the moment being. My two cents.
If that's the case, and December's Security Updates and beyond are "error free", it could well be possible to just skip November's update and continue to patch from there.
I never have problems installing the monthly created simplixed ISO, when a rare corruption occurs i just reformat the USB install medium and re-extract the ISO to it and then it works fine again. Simplix installs the needed updates and not the updates WU offers. What do you suspect there?
Because they are made for use with the pack, if the updates already are installed you can run the pack with the addons next to it and it will check if all updates are integrated and if yes, it will install the WA addon files. Or use the standalone installers by @abbodi1406 (check his scripts repo).
Is it safe to delete fallowing files or they used at setup. i do not want gabage files. D:\mount\Windows\Upd7Live.exe (deleted after setup) D:\mount\Windows\Setup\UpdatePack7R2.ini (not deleted after setup)
They are inside install.wim after integrate. I mounted. Upd7Live.exe runs at setup from registry run/runonce or some other way? Maybe doing addonn package post setup jobs? I do not know what it does. It is updatepacks file. All such software adds some file registry stuff as signiture mostly. nlite adds too.
It does the stuff that needs to run after windows is installed, blocking telemetry and such. The ini lists the integrated addons (from one of my test run ISOs): Code: [Addons] DirectX_June2010_x64=1 dotNetFx48_20241008_x64=1 vcredist_x64_Win7_20240813=1 ps, you can use 7zip to check the content of the wim too, no need to mount/unmount.
