New KUC removes KB2849470 but WU requires this security update (rpchttp.dll, rpcrt4.dll 6.1.7601.22380). KUC requires KB2916915 (rpchttp.dll, rpcrt4.dll 6.1.7601.22550) which should supersede KB2849470.
Are you sure about KB2849470 being required by WU? I installed KB2916915 in LDR branch & WU is ok with it.
no, i don't have sp1 yet. is there a tool can convert msp, exe to cabs? i tried wintool kit & windows hotfix downloader
The very nature of the repositories (Komm's and our direct referencing repository) is that the LDR versions are used, where available. The GDR updates, even in hotfixes, only contain the previous security and general release changes, and the issue that affects that current KB article. The LDR updates contain the GDR update contents, in addition to all previous hotfix updates. By not using LDR, your system would lie somewhere between a standard updated machine and a 'fully updated' machine. If you install one hotfix that replaces an existing hotfix on the system, the LDR version is used, unless you specifically only install the GDR version directly. Yes, you can force GDR as well! The update system for Windows 8/8.1 is a little different, and still a little messy. There are no LDR versions in Windows 8/8.1 apart from one for NET Framework. It's probable that Windows 8/8.1 run the equivalent of LDR updates (fully cumulative) by nature. This is possibly why there are fewer updates (all things considered), not because there are significantly less issues, but because what would have normally been released as hotfixes are included in those large update packs they have been doing (even if they haven't stated so). This is both a good and bad thing. It's good because more people will be close to being 'fully updated', but it's bad because it possibly means fewer hotfixes in between.
There's something odd with the KB2916915 hotfix. It has both GDR and LDR files, but in GDR mode it does not completely replace KB2849470. KB2876644 appears to only contain LDR files. On my laptop I currently have rpcrt4.dll 6.1.7601.18205 from KB2849470 and rpchttp.dll 6.1.7601.18350 from KB2916915. KB2876644 was installed prior to running the latest KUC. KUC said it was replaced by KB2916915 and removed it, but then WU insisted that KB2849470 was required, presumably for the GDR files. I support a lot of PCs used in domestic and small business environments where most users rely on WU, but I need to keep up with hotfixes that address less-reported issues such as KB2903025. KUC allows me to keep up to date with hotfixes I can safely recommend to the non-KUC users I support.
Any suggestion for those vc redist installers? I'm still using mcrip's but he doesn't seem to maintain it anymore. His seem most complete too..
