Windows 7 Hotfix repository

Server has been fine, 12 hours spent on msp file updates I can't get to install. I give up on these 24 hotfixes for framework 4.0...

 

is there any chance of seeing these post sp1 updates soon? or does no one know anything?

 

why you cannot share it?

 

@solor : could you share only the important updates like kernel , ntfs , tcpip , ntdll ?

 

so your not a tester then?

 

It may be the case that Zukona won't release the updates, or won't release them as frequently as he used to. Problem was there were numerous people that had nothing better to do than whinge and complain about them, just like has happened with SoLoR's repository. These whingers weren't intelligent enough to realise if they didn't want the updates they simply did not have to install them. Instead they criticised anyone that wanted to install the updates regardless of the fact that those installing the updates belong to computer enthusiasts that are genetically evolved to be willing to try new things and be open to change.

By not installing the updates, it doesn't make you any less of a person, as it is most likely the curious by nature pre-determinism is focused on something else, regardless of how seemingly insignificant that may be. Those who challenge that exploration (those that whinge and criticise others for trying the updates) are the people that haven't got the natural balance between caution and exploration. Being cautious of 'exploration' isn't a bad thing, but in this context it is completely unnecessary since its the individuals choice whether to install them or not, and the actions of installing them have no affect on anyone else except for yourself.

Caution is a very primitive instinct, it came about long before humanity and is for self-preservation. Exploration is a more evolved 'higher' instinct that meant humans could evolve in an interaction sense. The invention of something as simple as a spear was because someone had the foresight to try splicing a sharpened bone and splicing it to the spear to make a better weapon. The first electronic computer 'Colossus' during WWII was because someone explored what must have been thought of as improbable at the time and came up with a working machine. Exploration led to the breaking of the sound barrier, despite it being thought of as impossible at the time. Exploration is what re-proved the earth was round, despite a certain very large powerful group (I'm leaving out their name so not to offend anyone) that insisted the earth was flat to retain their power, even though high up they knew it was round which was proven thousands of years before.

Anyways, point is without exploration humans would still be more animal than even primitive human, and its this exploration that drives us enthusiasts to try new things even if its something benign like these updates. Its at our risk, its not forced, so if you don't want to install them simply don't and don't criticise others for trying them.

The same goes with Windows 7 SP1. That argument is way past ridiculous, and at the end of the day, its just a piece of software, get over it! and I think I speak on behalf of most people on here when I say who really actually cares? if you haven't installed it and your right about it being not final, there is no need to gloat, that will just prove you're a childish prick that basically saying 'I'm right, you're wrong, neh na neh, na nehh-neh. Likewise when its proven that it is the final, gloating that fact will show you're no different.

So, I say if you want to, use these updates and be thankful for those who provide them, and if you don't want to use them, simply don't use them and leave it at that

I apologise for being seemingly off-topic, but I thought it was necessary to say that since it is actually quite on-topic in the sense that if these updates do become available, and hopefully relatively frequently, at least if people want to be critical of the updates being available or for people installing them, at least they can be referred to what I have written above and have the knowledge that their actions are at the very least, very un-evolved

 

I for one am very thankful, and install them, and I'm most thankful for SP1 which is the RTM. I ran the cleanup utility and I'm a very cautious man.
One a side-note, fyi
After running servicepack cleanup utility IE9 rc 9.0.8027.6000 is still showing that it can be un-installed.

 

LOL, I like this, install those updates or you're a Neanderthal! No, I know what you're saying -- still funny though. I guess we'll just have to wait a little while, it would seem inevitable they will be released. But still... I don't know about you but my system is running pretty smooth right now, so no great need due to systems running so crappy

 

I do not think solor should share post-sp1 updates which microsoft do not release on their support page.
On support knowledgebase articles, Microsoft did not release some hotfixes which are included in zuko-bonus.
I think that people should not install them, especially if they are LDR only updates.
However I want to obtain post-sp1 GDR updates whether Microsoft release them on their KB articles,
so I suggest that you share GDR update only.which are from zukona and are not released on Microsoft KB articles.
(if microsoft release ldr-only update on KB articles. you share them)

 

ssshhhhh, pay no attention to the doom-sayers. The hotfixes will not nuke your installs. (there's about as much chance of that happening as you have winning the lottery.)

 

but the extra stuff we dont see too or i am wrong? i dont see any difference between a hotfix for win or "hotfix" for ie9. oktalk to him and we will see

 

Dude, whether the updates are shared or not is not a matter of your logic. The people involved in sharing them have certain considerations to take into account and it is all up to their discretion. Don't push it.

 

...and that goes for everybody; quit buggin' SoLor. Anything he has to share is up and that is the end of it.
Let's get the thread back on track with some useful posts regarding any concerns with updates installed, or how does the AIO .NET4 with repo hotfixes work for ya' etc. Big thanks go out to Ricktendo64 and SoLor for putting that all together!

 

Actually this was a fresh install-just completed. I ran the msi right after first logon. Anyways thanks mawn.

 

Rick try running the ngen executequeueditems command after you install .NET4 see if it helps (its what the .NET4 OPK runs so I also add it to execute after my unattended install)

Example.bat

Code:

start /wait Client\netfx_core_x64.msi EXTUI=1
start /wait Extended\netfx_extended_x64.msi EXTUI=1
start /wait %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen executequeueditems
start /wait %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ngen executequeueditems

 

still no news of the famous 60 Updates?

with Windows 7 SP0 if they would install the KB943790 or KB974405, it also had to install KB2159360-v4, I think
with SP1, it's just the KB943790 or KB974405?

thanks

 

I think I may have misunderstood how to install; if I run Client msi first, then Extended msi immediately after all is good-is this correct?
