    Komm, Do I need the updates in OLD for BAD? I am applying updates on a fresh Windows 7 SP1.
    And which script do I choose to install all of the updates?
    And should I put all of them in one folder or leave them structured as the repository is?

    You could use my script ;) Actually there are a couple of different variations of script you can use, but if you are installing all the updates you want to make sure they use the LDR version of each update, as they include all previous changes to those files, including 'superseded updates'. In other words, they have a higher level of 'updatedness'. LDR versions, if present, have to be installed specifically.

    If you are installing all the updates, keep in mind that installing all of them at once will be so painfully slow in the end you need to leave ample time for it to process. The problem is DISM has to keep track of not only what's in the system, but by the changes of previous updates, meaning that the more updates you install, the slower the process gets. In my installer there is an option in the cab menu to 'autoreboot' and continue installing. You have to have UAC disabled for this, and it's best to use without the need to login so you don't have to sit there whilst it progresses. It will install around 50 updates, reboot automatically, and after reboot continue installing untill all updates are installed. If some of the updates aren't applicable the check mechanism in the installer will catch it so you aren't caught in an endless cycle.

    To use this, you have all the updates you desire to be installed in the same folder.

    Of course you can use other scripts, but just make sure they install LDR versions, and that you split the updates into say, groups of 50. DON'T try and install all of them in one go!

    They are superseded. It seems they are for a specific purpose that you shouldn't encounter with a fresh install.

    which one? Thanks. BTW, it clearly states even in the title that it's also for IE9... weird.

    It's in the IE cumulative update for August (KB2722913). It says this in the KB you posted.

    Thanks for keeping an eye out for hotfixes though.

    Just checked, can't install it on a x86 windows 7 with IE9. So komm was right, it seems IE8 only. Weird then, another MS bulls**t.
