KUC can download all updates for you and they don't come from McRip's server- they're downloaded from a server that komm pays for. So he is offering an alternative download source to you, if McRip's server is not available. But KUC doesn't require you to use his server as a download source. If you've already downloaded updates from McRip's server or another source, just put the updates in KUC's \repo folder. I'm not sure what you suggested to him for improvements, but if he felt they were worthwhile ideas and he had available time, I'm sure he would consider implementing them. People don't realize how much time and effort komm has put into KUC. He has tracked every update/hotfix released for multiple versions of Windows (beyond just Win7, Win8 & Win8.1). Not only has he tracked every update, he's had to keep track of every component that is affected within these updates to ensure that the latest is used. And KUC has to deal with update conflicts/verify prerequisites are installed, etc. It really is an amazing feat that he's accomplished in KUC. komm normally has very little free time available for KUC. Recently, he's had a window of free time to work on KUC and post here at MDL, but that free time will be coming to an end soon and KUC updates will probably only be coming on a monthly basis. Instead of people moaning about what KUC doesn't do, they should be more appreciative of what KUC does.
I certainly do NOT want to get involved in any drama here but I do want to say that I have never seen a tool like KUC in all my years of being in IT... it is beyond my comprehension how Komm does what he does. With that said, despite any personalities, quirks, idiosyncrasies, etc I think this forum is hands down AMAZING and I am thankful to ALL for what they contribute and I am extremely thankful for what I have been able to obtain from here. I sincerely hope everyone will continue to contribute in the spirit in which this entire thread was founded and based. Thanks
Mind telling me the general difference between komm's updates and mcrip's? (I've been using McRip's all these while after Solor)
The goal of both repositories is the same- to contain the latest batch of non-superseded updates/hotfixes available, and they're both great sources. There is some variation in contents though since Win7 has such a massive number of updates now, and that was being discussed a few pages back. A restart of the analysis of variation would be beneficial (if it can be done dispassionately).
With the fantastic help from abbodi1406, I have the full list (with new / superseded / relocated hotfixes) almost ready for McRip - I'll send it to him as soon as I have two thing clear: 1. Is 2690750 really not superseded? 2. 2798787 is superseded by which update (partially)?
But 2866693 only has Microsoft.grouppolicy.reporting.dll, right? What about Gppref.dll, Gpprefbr.dll, Gpprefcn.dll and Propshts.dll from 2798787? Are they not superseded by any other updates? btw, just verified, none of these dlls are present on my system, so it's very likely they're RSAT only as said on the previous pages... Thanks again
2878378 and 2872862 were pulled by Microsoft Fortunately, those hotfixes weren't involved in the superseeded discussion. So I'm going to do an ultimate build (instead of my usual HP one) without 2798787, to see if it's fully superseded (HP doesn't have Group Policy, only Pro / Ultimate), and also to see if there is a variation in the needed WU Satisfy Updates.
Hi Komm, Try [KUC W7 UpdateChecker-Beta-v.1.5.009.2765.zip] It reported the following 8 files are missing: 1. Windows6.1-KB2853952-x64.msu 2. Windows6.1-KB2574819-v2-x64.msu 3. Windows6.1-KB2831154-v2-x64.msu 4. Windows6.1-KB2871085-x64.msu 5. Windows6.1-KB2868116-x64.msu 6. Windows6.1-KB2801244-v2-x64.msu 7. Windows6.1-KB2870699-x64.msu 8. Windows6.1-KB2870705-x64.msu Any advice ? Thanks.
Latest KUC v.1.5.009.2765 says ADD IE9-Windows6.1-KB2839111-x86.msu, but it doesn't get downloaded from Komm's Repo if it's missing on the local Repo. I had to request the hotfix from Microsoft. Al
Made also a comparison between McRip and komm's servers for x64. Some questions - again, for windows 7 x64 ONLY qustions: 2645640 (x64) superseded by ??? 2757638 (x64) superseded by 2799406 and 2836405 ??? 2872339 (x64) superseded by ??? 2483564 (x64) not superseded?
2645640 (x64) superseded by 2775511-v2 2757638 (x64) superseded by 2799406 and 2836405 - Yes 2872339 (x64) superseded by 2875501 2483564 (x64) not superseded - No
Also, for x64, KUC doesn't download 2736782-v3 and 2835361, and also downloads 2603229 & 2533552 in the main folder for an offline image.
