Thank you very much komm. Since I'm the one who asked you for this, I'll go through the list and try to figure out how the newest updates affect the repo. Another option- I may just do a fresh install of Win7, add the current repo contents and then use KUC to track what's new/superseded. I did this earlier but didn't track every update that was installed/uninstalled.
Thanks, burfadel. Yes, hence the difficulty because, as you say, such an installer would be hard to find with the vc runtimes; and evidently not always foolproof even when you could find it. It's no problem at all, people who like to tweak and play with computers should be prepared for some problems here and there I'll do a restore and give myself a clean slate. I always usde Active@ Disk Image from within a PE, and since the latest version of it restores and backups are handled rather quickly. Paired with my new sata3 SSD it took 1:40 to restore the complete x64 Win7 OS including applications... Wow. Otherwise, for testing VM's are of course good, but I'd also like it to work on my real install atm. Thanks for the information.
Here's the changelog I see needed for the repo. This list should be considered a starting point for getting the repo current since there's probably an error or two (or more). Once this batch gets uploaded, we can test and refine it further. Also, I did this on x64, so there might be a couple differences for x86. All thanks should go to komm and SoLoR since they're the ones doing the hard work on this. SoLoR, if this info isn't sufficient, let me know and I'll try to add detail as needed.

Yes those versions are correct I was meant to also put in the last post that even though the file versions for 2005 redist are 8.0.20727.6229, it shows as 8.0.61186 (for x64) and 8.0.61187 (for x86) in add/remove programs A side note to anyone that may be confused as to why x86 and x64 versions show on x64 system, the x86 versions are used by 32-bit programs, and the x64 versions by 64-bit programs. On x64, you need both installed so both 32-bit and 64-bit programs are covered.
A couple of things I seeL KB2519922 (V2) not needed. The V2 is available alongside the original version, the difference being V2 includes the GDR files as well, whereas the original version only the LDR files (same versions of the LDR files in original and V2). KB951422-V2 seems to be valid, must have been missed earlier. KB2640696 is KB2640696-V3, not just KB2640696 KB2661663 is KB2661663-V3, not just KB2661663 KB2675469 links are requestable, but not downloadable (file not found error)
Maybe, but we should always take the latest version. So move 2519922-v1 to LDR placeholder and take 2519922-v2. Or will your installer tell the user to uninstall v2 and install v1? We should not discuss about "not taking an update with a higher version number"! If 2 different kb# updates contain the same version we can decide witch one to take. But it should be a rule to always take the highest version#. Kb2675469 is a .net update. There seams to be a problem of downloading this kind of updates with the strange link. I saw that in the last view weeks. You must try as long as you can and then, suddenly, it can be downloaded. Nevertheless, it can be found in my win7 folder. @PointZero Thanks for your quick work. 2647841: only the x64 version is superseded. you missed 2644615 in the superseded updates (replaced by 2582203) 2661663-v3 is superseded by 2664408 2554746 is superseded by 2665875 (MSMQ) "partially superseded" we should not use this kind; only YES or NO like pregnancy. If nobody else found a problem in pointzero's list, someboy else should create a .7z with all the new updates. So SoLoR can download it. I think he would prever the -zip.exe files so the filedates are preserved. This .7z must not be public only send Solor the link.
No, haven't needed to! apart from a few code 'cosmetics' that I could do, there really isn't anything that needs changing.
I added the updates you suggested, uploaded the batch of the original .zip versions of the updates (except for 3 that are in .msu format) and sent links to SoLoR via PM.
