superseded by KB2635038 Well until im able to install it on Windows 7 Ultimate with all functions enabled im not touching it... when something cant be installed on 99% of computers then its useless in my book (except for that 1% ofc)...
2525835: OK. When clicking on the “.msu.” windows says: “not applicable”. Nevertheless, When using your “update.cmd” I have no problem installing the update on my Win7. 2591500: My fault! Version of windows-directwrite of 2635038 is higher than that of 2591500. But shouldn’t all the packages of 2591500 be superseded by 2635038 ? 259150 contains: windows-directwrite; windows-d2d; windows-directx-direct3d10.1; windows-directx-warp10 2635038 contains only windows-directwrite Maybe I oversee something.
hm... true... now that i checked actual update... support page is not updated and there only says that KB2591500 includes directwrite... ill readd it after weekly scan.
What is better uninstalling superseded updates then installing new updates or installing new updates then uninstalling superseded updates or it doesn't matter?
If you install the new update, reboot, then uninstall the superseded update, the new update files take effect on reboot making the superseded files redundant (so they can be removed once restarted). Its a direct transition from the superseded update files to the new update files. If you uninstall the superseded update first, you are instructing the system to reinstall the prior/original files replaced by that update. If you do this, you will have to uninstall, reboot (so the original files are reinstated), install the new update, and reboot again for that to take effect. The obvious disadvantage with this method is not only the extra restart step, but the fact you are putting the system back to an earlier state before its updated. It would be less than ideal to uninstall a superseded update and then install a new update without restarting, as you increase the risk of an error occurring. Likewise it would be a bad idea to uninstall superseded updates after installing the new updates without restarting (if required). Its for this reason I put in my 'Old update remover' a check to make sure that there are no pending changes (that is, file changes that require you to restart the computer for them to take effect).
Is it ok to integrate it to satisfy WU ? and sorry if i asked this, but if i use LDR mode of integration, i don't need to include LDR placeholders right ?
kb976373-v2 --> 6.1.7601.21830 (this is the one in the repository as oinkers has said) kb976373-v3 --> 6.1.7601.21853 kb article updated on 15 Dec reflecting the change, unlike the arrticle for kb2591500
Off-topic, but does anybody know if it's possible to change your username here? I signed up originally just to download a file & had no intention of posting. But now that I am, I realize "oinkers" was not a good choice, lol. Oh well, nothing to sweat over I guess..
Of course then we'll probably also want to know why you chose "oinkers" in the first place. LOL Cheers and Regards
