Hello all, I am rather new to this but am in need of a Working Windows 7 Pro system as up to date as possible for testing a piece of software for a long outstanding bug which still exists on windows 11 to try and identify the root cause. To that end I have my trusty Windows 7 x64 ISO I can't tell you much about it other than the fact it is labeled GSP1RMCPRXFRER_EN_DVD, I have figured out how to use NTLite in order to do the basics but I am not sure that I am slipstreaming the right stuff I am just following as close as possible a guide on doing these things and in fact I am not even sure if my version of the DVD can have your fixes applied to it to get the latest updates. Can someone please advise me on the procedure as I am currently drowning in MSU's and a lot of conflicting information. EDITED: I forgot to mention I saw somewhere that no one can get hold of : windows6.1-kb4528069-x64_b00bef3c3a13b8bc65bfaea63426386dbb54c336.msu I have it if anyone needs it.
1) Attached is a list I compiled for my own fast setups of Windows 7 Ultimate x86 or x64 (they also mostly apply to Windows 7 Pro). Follow this listing in this order and you're pretty much there. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/at...9/?temp_hash=c38493d9696c5be8dd04f0826298706c 2) The MS version update of KB4528069 has a reputation to fail installation. As BypassESU was in its development stages, a pre-requisite version of KB4528069 called 'KB4528069-lite' was released that can circumvent the failings in installation of this MS update. It also is hard to find, but take it from here. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/at...5/?temp_hash=8fdeafc31ee68ed5727e1cfc5b482697 Note: An updated "Windows 7 Updates List.txt" file was uploaded here on 11-05-2023.
For me, neither WU-Patcher nor the WSUS Proxy found 5026413 this time around. Worked fine last month and had no problems finding the April LCU. Not sure if this is a local problem though.
Win7 Pro (x64) ESU Bypass v.12.u I manually downloaded and installed KB5026426 Security Only Win7 Embedded Standard (x64) and KB5026366 Cumulative Security update for IE11. Win7 Embedded Standard (x64). Many thanks once again to all at MDL
Did you do a clean install with the April LCU already integrated in the .wim? This may have something to do with it. My Feb thru April LCU installs were based on a fully patched Dec. .wim which did not include any embedded LCUs or Bypass code like the one I did my April clean install with. WU found all the LCUs during the Feb-Mar-Apr Patch Tuesdays. I usually build a new wim after the Dec, April, Aug WU updates and clean install from there. I didn't have this problem doing the same thing for Win 8.1. Maybe abbodi1406 has an idea why this happens to some of us.
Mine was manually updated until feb 2023 -- KB5022872 (Bypass v11/v12 added to the WIM) MS windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64 -- Updated 2023-02 After that i added the Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher script by abbodi1406 to this online system, and (online) updated from there... No problems there...So not sure about that.
No, I used Kurwica v.4 way back and continued using the subsequent Bypass versions without any serious problem.
Hmm... don't even know about Kurwica but will either try Simplix Pack OR BypassESU version by version (I have v7, 9, 11 & 12).
I did some additional testing as to why embedded updates for 2023-05 were no longer being detected on my last system build. As mentioned above, I had the v12u bypass integrated in the install wim along with the 04 embedded LCU. After a clean install, WU only offered me Office updates. The problem seems related to the v12 Bypass, because if I run v9_AIO, it allows me to install its Suppressor version via option [2] which in the end fixes the problem for me. All I had to do after that was reboot, Re-add the embedded option via ESUPatcher and reboot again.
Suppressor has no effect on WU ESU Patcher or detecting the updates v9 has different Suppressor version, thus it's offered for installation
Whatever it was, reverting from v12 to V9 and reinstalling WU_Patcher was the only way I managed to make WU show embedded updates. I tried removing and reinstalling WU_Patcher several times when v12 was active, but that did not help. I will try to find out what makes WU not show embedded updates on my system with v12.
