@burfadel, @ricktendo64: You can modify the manifest of the SFX file you're using to create the executable, so that it will prompt for Administrator access if UAC is on. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx
Is there an overview about kb# that windows update tells as missing even if the system is up to date?
@komm, How do I export the scan results in KUC to excel without having excel installed. What I have in mind is running it in vmware and create the excel file then move the excel file to my host PC and view in excel there. thanks
The 'Windows' version is based on the version of ntoskrnl.exe you have installled. With the botched (sorry, 'incomplete' ) Bulldozer patch, the version (Buildlab) would have been 7601.21855.xxxxxxxxx. However, since thats no longer used, the previous most up to date update on x64 brings it to 7601.21831.amd64fre.win7sp1_ldr.111003-1503. You could literally have a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1, and just install that one update and thats the Windows version it will show conversely, if you install every update except those that do ntoskrnl.exe, you would have a very much more up to date system, but the Buildlabex would still be the same as the original SP1... The version is found under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Even if Excel is not installed, you can open the "packages_out.txt" file on another computer with Excel, or just look inside with notepad. I'm just working on a solution to create & open a "packages_out.txt" file special for notepad. Inside the normal output file are a lot of tabs for excel import, so it is not easy to read/view. I hope the new version will be ready today or tomorrow.
@burfadel: So to be clear, the reg entries you posted earlier (and shown here below) are all we need to silence WU on that VC update? Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\6E815EB96CCE9A53884E7857C57002F0\InstallProperties] "LocalPackage"="C:\\Windows\\Installer\\10ce222.msi" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\6E815EB96CCE9A53884E7857C57002F0\Features] "Severicingley"="N~=CS6YuR?JaKO&hd{u98h5xw2NY$?uhS]5u_i6NCRs_^&do-7POkR!dJngkWc$)[v^Bm3NO34_]'P}kZ=zY7mk-X8SswGnP([email protected]@9g$~VKrPRrd687v~Ad*2`Yc&Lg1U.o~62CoMnpphGIURH(L1IN]6@ZIqj[whh-0}&uiPZ.38BVyD@PRKdiffB3j!=WN5Ec?ysySd]3rqLaAN),@79Xrbxaxdm['F?gfJL%m7F[1dmlk+V6'DuyBl$Zh3'&cz.yl%]*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\67D6ECF5CD5FBA732B8B22BAC8DE1B4D\InstallProperties] "LocalPackage"="C:\\Windows\\Installer\\10ce216.msi" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\67D6ECF5CD5FBA732B8B22BAC8DE1B4D\Features] "Severicingley"="N~=CS6YuR?JaKO&hd{u98h5xw2NY$?uhS]5u_i6N5F+3[(1cL7uk&u(=K~NfEEVs)kH)U77rB1bZRlgbNNL*upa6+8^f^'Sx[lTrUh+^O?dgV6iZ^2jb4Y_TGm!bGQZSV8`U9d4qi+Y3sjfV!dJ354b,[wVe0CZn37=bn4L'-4$_py'v$(6u^iDpQc?o%4tQM~5`=R)%0,kUflSyn6Q$ATnb_[FLFweU9=]e^5TtHj3V7LMxH`Gqgpc%L6~'FISo0r3,e6uLY*'bE5zHXy]&&Mxi" I already applied Ricktendo's mst but I also like to have the reg entries if they're no too long and complex. But I have no current way of verifying if any of this works because I can't get that update to show up in WU whatever I do on my current install (x64 Win7). I've tried uninstalling all runtimes, cleaning the registry, searching the registry, etc.).
ok, I did a clean install of 7 x64 with all updates integrated, and the version is still "7601.21831.amd64fre.win7sp1_ldr.111003-1503" version of ntoskrnl.exe is 7601.21831, that's why I ask it's ok? thanks
It seems to work perfectly. The new V8 uninstalled the older VC++ and installed all the latest runtimes. I also ran through the entire SoLoR "update.cmd". Afterwards, the size of windows only increases by about 1GB - not 10GB like I thought earlier. At the end it also integrated all the folders. When the update.cmd says "File Not Found", does that mean that update isn't applicable? A bunch of updates in the x64 folder didn't get installed... When I checked Windows Update, I got the following: Important: KB2446710 (.NET 3.5.1 update) - ??? KB2539635 (.NET 3.5.1 update) - Didn't install? KB2536275 (security update) - Didn't install? KB2556532 (security update - Superceded) KB2570947 (security update) - Didn't install? KB2619339 (security update) - Didn't install? KB2639417 (security update) - Didn't install? KB971033 (Windows Activation) KB890830 (malicious removal tool) Optional: KB2515325 (Recommended Update) - Didn't install? KB2541014 (Recommended Update) - Didn't install? KB2545698 (Recommended Update) - Didn't install? KB2547666 (Recommended Update) - Didn't install? KB2603229 (Recommended Update) - Didn't install? Then I tried again from scratch with "Installer For Windows Updates V22.cmd" (command 1). I copied all the subfolder updates into the main folder. Is that correct for Win7 Pro SP1 x64? When finished, it was also under 10GB total so it only added about 1GB to windows. When trying Windows update afterwards, I got: KB2556532 (security update) - Superceded KB971033 (Windows Activation) KB890830 (malicious removal tool) How come this "KB971033" isn't in SoLoR's package? I was reading more about the terminology of updates. I understand the GDR is "General Distribution Release" and LDR is "Limited Distribution Release." What does "LDR placeholders" folder mean? Is it possible to just do all the GDR updates and not do the LDR updates or is that a bad idea?
Bulldozer: CPU AMD? and those with Intel? I don't understand, because I haven't seen any updates specifically for Bulldozer in the repo
Microsoft has pulled a patch which would make its Windows 7 operating system play very nice with AMD's Bulldozer. AMD said that "There are actually two updates needed for AMD Bulldozer CPU architecture and Microsoft just posted just the first patch one. Sadly the first one was not a lot of good without the second and AMD did not believe users would benefit in any way from it. A spokesman said that the patch was originally scheduled for the first quarter 2012 and then the users will see tangible performance benefits when using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. Those who downloaded part one might want to consider uninstalling it and forgetting they ever saw it.
@orbidia if you use update.cmd from SoLoR you may get a couple updates that you have already installed or are superseded show up in WU because if there is a GDR hotfix SoLoR skips the install of the GDR files and only installs the LDR mum
