Windows 7 Hotfix repository

This is no big deal but SoLoR you should change the name of your changelog page from "Windows 7 RTM Updates and Hotfixes" to "Windows 7 SP1 Updates and Hotfixes"

I'm not sure I understand the criteria for this update pack because not all updates offered by MU are in this pack.
I understand that IE8 patches are not included. Are there other excluded components?

Here is a list of patches that I do not see in this pack for Win 7 SP1 X86:

kb2502285
kb2484033
kb982018
kb2509553
kb2515325
kb2492386
kb2510531
kb2506928

Sorry for not posting the links, but I'm not allowed yet. I need 7 more posts
Just add the Kb number at the end of this string to get the KB article.

The hotfix repository contains all the latest updates, security fixes, and hotfixes. If the updates replace the files to newer versions than on Microsoft Update, or any other hotfix for that matter, the older update/hotfix is considered as superseded. There is no need to install superseded updates, so they are not present in the repository

Instead of randomly posting updates you dont see, why dont you visit the KB article or extract the hotfix to see if the file in the hotfix is older than the actual one you have installed

I suggested this hotfix awhile back to SoLoR, it did not make the list

 

I checked the update log before posting and there was no mention of these files being superseded by another fix. Where would I see this?

 

I was not randomly posting updates. 18 updates were being offered by MU on my system and I was just comparing this to SoloR's pack. The 8 fixes I listed were not in the pack. The log gave me no information that these files were superseded by newer fixes. That is why I was asking.

I don't understand why I should look at the KB's that I listed to see if they are older than what is installed on my system when MU is telling me to update. I do not have SoloR's pack installed.

 

The updates are not posted because they have either been superseded, for ie8 or already present (in the changelog) and you completely missed them

 

My mistake SoLoR For some reason, when in Firefox and doing a find in the log, I did not get any hits. I guess I need to learn how to search. I would still be interested in what determines 'not applicable'. Is JSCRIPT and VBSCRIPT not part of the Win 7 OS?

Thanks ..

 

Does not apply if you use ie9

 

Okay, thanks.

 

Two weeks ago, I uninstalled the update KB2509553, since I saw that it is in the list of removed updates from 4/17. However, when I went to check for updates yesterday, that same update that I had uninstalled, popped up saying that it needed to be installed. Anyone else experience this?

 

Thanks for this hotfix, I added it to both my XP and Win7 updates

 

If an update is posted to MU that contains files that are older than what is contained in an update in the repository, the update isn't even considered for the repository. The repository changelog only contains those updates which have changed that are part of the repository, which can explain the discrepancy.

 

You need to run Windows6.1-KB947821-v10-x64.msu (or Windows6.1-KB947821-v10-x86.msu if on Windows 7 32-bit). I'm assuming you're updated to SP1?

The above 'update' isn't really an update despite its name and appearance, its really a tool to rectify issues with the Windows Update system on your computer. The update KB9509553 most likely appears (if its not meant to) because of one of these issues, assuming you have installed its replacement.

Nah he chose not to add it because you needed to take control of the file in order to replace it, I showed it to him a while back

Here is how I used to added it (the stand alone DLL) to my wim, thankfully I dont have to anymore

Code:

::This backs up permissions::
icacls <mount_path>\Windows\SysWOW64\msvbvm60.dll /save %temp%\AclFile

::These two commands takes control of the file::
takeown /f <mount_path>\Windows\SysWOW64\msvbvm60.dll & icacls <mount_path>\Windows\SysWOW64\msvbvm60.dll /grant administrators:F

::REPLACE FILE::

::This restores permissions::
icacls <mount_path>\Windows\SysWOW64\ /restore %temp%\AclFile
