KB3185330 (first Win7 roll-up) Failed

So I hid the rollup update and moved on to other things for the time being. Installed a series of optional updates. Windows Update runs nicely and reports nothing left to update so I set a restore point and go back to un-hide the rollup. It's not there. I download it as a standalone and when I run it it says it's not applicable to this machine (already installed or ???). Hmmm........

I went through almost the same steps. I think M$ has misidentified the update. Perhaps the 32 and 64 bit variations have been switched.
 
I find it funny how Microsoft broke their own update patching i get customers that try to save a buck format their own computer install windows 7 and then windows updates just sit there for hours on end stuck on checking for updates.

first you need to install kb3020369->kb3172605->kb3125574
then run windows updates otherwise for some strange reason windows update will be stuck in an endless loop looking for updates forever.
 
Thanks to Galdorf!!
I have had a test machine on the bench to try resolve the W7 update issue - and finally it works. Looks like I missed the KB3172605. Installed that and updates almost immediately came through. Have been at this for days, so thanks again.
 
strange thing is you need to install updates BEFORE installing an AV otherwise it won't work i tried it AV->updates BOOM infinite looking for updates if you do updates->AV works every time.
 
Folks, you should really consider update integration in your install media. I recently integrated the last rollup into my Windows 7 home & Pro installer usb's and haven't had any trouble. The only custom software I install during the O/S install is AOEMI restoration software. All other titles are installed after Windows is installed - via ninite.com.

Sure makes for a fast way of doing it.

Maybe I should set up shop here at home and produce installation media on USB with updates and make them available for purchase. That would help offset my time at home (am off on medical issue.)

If anyone is interested in software integration, this is the video I've watched to create my custom installs -


If you've never used RT7 Lite before, watch this video several times until you feel like you really understand it. I always have it open in another screen when I create my .iso's. Then I use rufus to write my .iso's to USB. I only make 64-bit versions of installers.
 
Careful guys - Terms........

Well it is no longer supported and the Rockers Team appears to be defunct. So if I wanted to register it so I could have the full features (aka, non-lite version) I don't see that happening any time soon. I still like this program and will continue to use it.
 
Does it handle Win10?
Nope. Only appears to work with all 32 / 64 bit versions of Windows 7 only.

Since I don't believe in "reverse engineering ANY software" I'd have to say to look somewhere else for something that can "easily" incorporate and create an auto-unattended installer for Windows 10.
 
If you are really interested in how to incorporate and create auto-unattended installers for Windows 10, you might be interested in NTLite. You can always pick up the free version here - https://www.ntlite.com/shop/ to experiment with and see if it will fill your need(s). The professional version is $99.00 / year and I just checked the renew pricing and it is $49.50 USD.

This program says it covers the following versions of Windows: "Fully supports client Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 (including 1507/RTM, 1511, 1607 and up to Preview build 14955), 32 and 64-bit natively, live and image." More info on their website.

I think if it does what I want to do, then I'll probably snag the professional version. Then I'll be done with RT7 Lite since it is no longer supported.
 
Not sure about RT7.

This may do it though, not used it myself.

So I've downloaded it and looked at it - rather quickly. It appears to be quite complex and not too easy to set up. But I could be wrong about this.

Just to get an opinion here, if I were to use one of these integration programs for Windows 10, what program(s) would you suggest I integrate into the build? Preferably just 1 or 2 programs and no anti-virus or -malware programs. <--- just doing this as a test atm

**UPDATE**

I couldn't get the MSMG-Toolkit to work - even with the instruction manual in pdf. After several tries I just moved on.

Since RT Seven Lite is no longer viable, I've now switched to NTLite, which I might add, works great with Windows 10. I had downloaded the latest release of Windows 10 Pro (14393) and was able to create a "somewhat" auto-unattended USB installer. I was able to incorporate a few latest updates and at least 1 installed program to test the functionality of NTLite.

ATM, it is not fully auto-unattended but I'll keep working on it and report back when I get it to work the way I want it to.

The good thing I can say about using RT Seven Lite is that it helped me to learn some of the "xml scripting" that really hadn't had any experience with other than when I used to write html coding.
