AskWoody_MVP# W7ESUI #
Automated batch script to install Windows 7 Extended Security Updates, regardless the ESU license and without requiring any eligibility check bypass.
* Pros:
– Process the updates from one same location
– Detect and install servicing stack update first
– Check required stack installer version for each update
– Include the Telemetry neutralize tweaks
– Works with Group A: Monthly Quality Rollup, or Group B: Security Only update / IE11 cumulative update
* Limitations:
– SHA2 support updates KB4490628 and KB4474419 are prerequisites for ESU updates.
Either install them yourself first, or put their msu files with ESU updates files together and the script will install them– The script is specifically designed to process ESU updates only.
while it still can install regular updates, but it has no specific checks or conditions for their prerequisites
regular updates should be installed normally, manually, using Windows Update, or other tools– You must always use the script for any future ESU updates, you cannot install them manually afterwards
* Download:
Includes corrections for those downloading using IE11:
https://github.com/abbodi1406/WHD/raw/master/scripts/W7ESUI_0.3.zip* How to use on live OS:
– Download the ESU updates msu files from Microsoft Update Catalog, following history page or AskWoody Knowledge Base
a) if you are Group A user, you need:
latest Servicing Stack Update
latest Security Monthly Rollup
latest .NET rollupb) if you are Group B user, you need:
latest Servicing Stack Update
latest IE11 Cumulative Update
Security Only Update for each month (e.g. February and March together)
every .NET Security Only Update (if any)– Extract W7ESUI.cmd from the zip file, or extract the whole zip file
– Copy or move W7ESUI.cmd and place it next to (in the same folder as) the downloaded msu files
ini file W7ESUI.ini is not really necessary in this case– Right-click on W7ESUI.cmd and “Run as administrator”
– If all goes well, you should get cmd window similar to this:
– Now press the zero 0 number on keyboard to start the process
– At the end, restart the system if prompted
See ReadMe.txt for more details, and how to use the script for offline integration.
******************************
******************************The bypass is mainly meant for installing .NET 4 updates through WU, manual installation works too
but it has compatibility issue and cause other MSI programs to fail (including KIS 2020 or Office C2R)the first installer was merely a simple script for installing .NET 4 updates manually using the ESU_LOCK workaround
the revived version include temporary self-bypass to work with July updatesdotNetFx4_ESU_Installer_r.zip is the safest approach so far

ManagerHere’s your .NET for January, 2021. There were no Security-only .NET updates.
Download only the update for the version(s) installed on your PC.
There were only updates for .NET 4.6-4-7-2 and 4.8 (non-Secruity only)
The other updates in the Rollup are older and should already be installed..NET Quality Rollup KB4598500
.NET 3.5.1 KB4578952 (Oct 2020)
.NET 4.5.2 KB4578955 (Oct 2020)
.NET 4.6 – 4.7.2 KB4597239
.NET 4.8 KB4597254 -

AskWoody MVPInstalled SMQR kb4598279 using W7ESUIv3 (it’s a double restart) and dotNET kb4598500 using dotnetfx4 on x86 Win7 Pro. No problems reported here in event viewer.
Another clean run, so far, so good 🙂
Peripherals still to check over..to be updatedUpdate: No issues with local Pixma Printer or scanner, SFC – no integrity violations.
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created IT- AE-

ManagerKB4598500 is an optional .net – meaning that there is no new security fixes in it. If you have your system set to not offer up optional updates in the same manner as important updates it’s not shown to you in Important, but rather the Optional section.

AskWoody LoungerJan. 2021 rollup (KB4598279) and .Net 4.8 update (KB4597254) installed without problems, using version 0.2 script, on both 32-bit desktop and 64-bit laptop. I define “no problems” as Win loading normally or with a slightly longer 1st restart, and Firefox loading as usual and streaming youtube and basketball games.
One oddity: all of the entries for previous security monthly quality rollups are missing from the list of installed updates (Control Panel > Programs and Features > view installed updates). Even the ones prior to Win 7 EOL Jan. 2020. The servicing stack updates and .Net updates are still listed. I just noticed this; perhaps this was always true, i.e. a by-product of the rollups or the installer script.
