Hi All, Trying to install a Win7x64 hotfix (Windows6.1-KB979560-v2-x64) for window positioning and it's in MSU format. When I d-click on it, I get the message "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it". Googled a bit and found I need the stand alone installer (KB2484033) which, of course, is also an MSU file. So how the hell does one install an installer that has no program to open it? Russ
Don't have it. The only services that look like installers are: Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) and Windows Modules Installer (trustedinstaller.exe). Both are set to manual, but starting them and then trying does the same thing. Russ
wuauserv = "Windows Update" Service I don't think one can remove it entirely, so you must have it, too. MSUs (wusa.exe) requires that service.
Now that I have, I keep it disabled because I do NOT want Win10 creeping onto my system. What are the chances of that happening in the few minutes it would take to install these two small KB packages? I know the whole Win10 thing is huge, but could it "start" backing into my system and leave me hung up between two OS's? Russ
FWIW, this update remembers some folders but certainly not all. The old "shellfolderfixui" worked way better... Russ
