Yeah, the hotfix page just became available, I was updating my post... Thanks. LE: WOW! It's just the client now. So RDC / RDP 8.1 client only funtionality, host (server-side components) functionality is available only with RDC / RDP 8.0!!! In my opinion this is cool, as the whole RDC / RDP optional update is bloatware in my opinion for 99.99% of windows 7 users.

Because the new updates are GDR+LDR, and normally GDR branch will be installed (6.1.7601.1xxxx) whereas the skipped updates are LDR only, and although they are older, but they have higher tag number (6.1.7601.2xxxx) so you have to force LDR install of the new updates to get the older removed.
I tried to download these hotfixes, but I cannot find the "Hotfix download available" button anywhere. I searched for download links through the KB page but I couldn't find anything. This is also the case for many other hotfixes I tried. What's going wrong?

I'll see if I have time on the weekend to finalise the updated installer, shouldn't take long. Windowsupdate satisfaction stuff has been removed, I was hoping, and spent a long time looking in to, the replacement of this directly with using express cabs, but the manual method of installing these seem to only work if it had already been installed previously. The good news is that the updates that show in Windowsupdate, if already installed (in terms of the LDR version), will only install the GDR manifest files via an express download (denoted by the -express suffix). With Windowsupdate satisfaction, installing both the GDR and LDR versions to satisfy Windowsupdate actually results in more space being used as you install, but have inactive, the actual GDR files. To complicate things further we are down a hotfix repository. I did bring up a working solution with Pointzero about this, and it was a damn good solution if you don't mind me saying , but would require a fair bit of work for Windows 7 (it's ideal for Windows 8.1). It would also require something else which I won't mention here, but hopefully access to it will be available at some point in the near future.
@burfadel We all are definitely looking forward to your newly-enhanced Installer For Windows Updates script. On top of that, in your script, can you include the ability to integrate IE-Hyphenation-en.msu, IE-Spelling-en.msu, 3 cab files for Windows Update Agent to an offline Windows 7 SP1 image? Thank you very much.

Thanks for this extensive list. Is there by chance anyone who has uploaded these somewhere? (besides Microsoft )
