    I saw that KB2534366 was in one of the updates to be removed. I did so after installing all the posted updates, but Windows update is now showing KB2534366 as an available important update I need to install. Was KB2534366 replaced by something else, or should it not be in the removed list?

    I don't know your uninstaller, but i think you must be keeping
    a list of "replaced by" updates / hotfixes


    somethink like KB123456 is replaced by KB234567

    is it posible to get the list; or maybe is it a part of your program ?

    The main list is labelled list.txt, and there are also other lists such as the LDR placeholder lists and x64 lists. The script looks up the bare KB numbers in the appropriate lists for the system and runs the uninstall if it is found to be installed on the system. If not, it is passed.

    The lists are updated from the information from the updates.htm file maintained by SoLoR. SoLoR has also given me a list of all updates post SP1, the most recent time was for the large lot of updates recently. This list includes those that are valid and those that are superseded, the lists can be found if you look back through this thread.

    Basically I just copy and paste that info into Excel, convert the numbers into individual cells using the data Text to column feature, and make one big long list.

    I then copy the lists from the updates folder (both x86 and x64), including subfolders and the additions folder etc, use the replace all function to remove everything but the numbers (basically set to replace 'Windows6.1-KB' with nothing), put this list above the complete list, then remove duplicates in that column. What Excel will do is remove the second and subsequent entries for that item. Since the valid file lists are at the top, it will remove the valid entries from the superseded list, leaving only those updates which aren't in the repository (these are the superseded updates). I then sort the x64, LDR etc updates out and you have all the update lists sorted.

    Its actually even simpler than it sounds :)

    Edit the cmd, change /Online to /Image:<path_to_mount_folder>, remove /NoRestart and all you do is first mount the image & then run the script with options C then 1

    OK i went true all those hotfixes you pointed out: 2443643 and 2461631 are applicible (i assume they used to be placeholders) all others are not applicible because they are for RSAT/IE8 oi in case of KB2503351 its for Windows.Identity.Foundation and you can find it there.

    so, KB2443643, KB2461631, KB2503351 and KB2524478 are the new update?
    There are obsolete updates?

    thanks ;)

    OK, it's really for IE8? (KB2503351 its for Windows.Identity.Foundation)

    am updating it Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll file in C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Windows Identity Foundation\3.5

    EDIT: in fact, KB2503351 is in the pack update to download (6.12.2011), but I have not seen in the list of repo

    Sorry but im not checking KB hotfixes and everything every time somebody asks something. This topic latly became KB this KB that KB third... headache! anyway if its for Windows.Identity.Foundation then its there in hotfixes, its not on the list because it doesnt matter one little update for Windows.Identity.Foundation that noone needs.
