Simplix Pack to update Live Win7 System/ Integrate hotfixes into Win7 distribution

@TbTog: So how would you prove the integrity of Simplix? It's been run through virustotal and a SHA has been generated for it.

I know this because I ran virus checkers on it myself.

What shhnedo (and s1ave77 ) says makes perfect sense. If you don't trust it, then don't use it.

There are other ways to pull windows updates down. WHDownloader comes to mind.

 

I'm all for that. I've never found a rotten thing on this site. Everything is scruntanized and very safe.

 

If it wasn't safe, you'd have heard about it long ago.

 

Can equivalent update situation of simplix pack be done manually to a running Windows 7 system using WHDownloader by just not installing the KB numbers he excludes?

Or does he modify the updates themselves, so they are no longer identical to KB you can download from Microsoft?

In changelog there are many KB where he says he disabled telemetry inside, so he is going inside and modifying the updates, correct?

 

If you're gonna imply "he might as well be stuffin' in a keylogger", don't bother.
Yes, simplix does modify updates so there's next to no telemetry and no CPU check.

 

I was more wondering how he does it. Are there switches or configuration files in the KB updates where you can toggle telemetry on and off?

Can that be done with scripting and WHDownloader?

 

@muu: There are updates that affect telemetry. These guys go through the updates and remove the ones that do.

So, I suppose it's possible to do just that.

 

However he does it, It's done right. You don.t have to worry about telemetry

 

Where does that confidence in Simplix come from?

I think it would've been better if we would've chosen a good reputable user, with a WDS server to just create an updated image every month and be done with it. No more suspicions, no more paranoia.
With updates directly from MS and no modifications of any kind. Sure, it's what you guys call homebrew but if the user was trustworthy then it would not matter.

 

Use WHD if that's what you want, this is just one of the options to get the job done, it does what it does and it does it well, and very easy to use.

I wouldn't trust someone releasing an updated image, first i may have other preferences and nobody knows what is done to the image. If people prefer that, TPB has enough of those homebrew

 

meh I'm bit disapointed
after running this simplix pack on SP1 + until 2016 updates
installer reports 57 updates to install, but then installs only 6 and thats it ...

 

Please show the log* and the method used?

*. The log file can be found at c:\windows\UpdatePack7.log

 

method was just click and run it within OS

 

From the OP:

When you simply run the updatepack it won't do automatic reboots

 

i don't have IE on OS, i removed that crap
unless all remaining 50 fixes are just for IE ?
