A hidden Patch Tuesday gem: A Windows 7 hotfix rollup

[Gary]

Mine was 2 years ago at 38 and since that day all they have done is disgust me with the smell.

Both of us are quite lucky, my Cardiologist told me that most men that have heart attacks in their 30's are fatal. I only had to have Angioplasty done both times, on different arteries .

You should, It is not good for your health, I have not had a smoke since 12.01.1994 the day of my last heart attack and also my Anniversary.

I gave up 5 weeks before my heart attack so I don't believe a word

I was only an occasional social smoker and stopped October 1989 and had my first heart attack in Jan 1990.
Mine is family history. I was 32 at the time.

It is not available on windows update, says so in the article. You have to download the files. Seems like it is hard to find. I put the link into Firefox and it tells me to use IE. So I fire up IE10 and get a pretty page with a globe on it.

Microsoft Update Catalog

On one of my machines IE10 does not work with this site. No offer to install the add on for the catalogue.

I don't use IE10 only as a backup but I don't get anything on any of my machines now except the main page, no prompts to install an add in. Any ideas?

 

[SIW2]

Any ideas?

The update links are in my post above your last two.

Dunno about the ie add on.

Thanks, I saw that and have downloaded both of them. When you write your tutorial about rolling up Windows 7 updates will we need to have the catalogue website working?

 

[SIW2]

No, probably easiest to use stevens update lists and just d/l them into a folder without using ie.

 

[DavidE]

can you post what the add on is as this will be helpful to others wanting to use the hotfix, including myself

I'm not sure if I missed something and this was already answered...
The IE add on (ActiveX) is Windows Update Catalog.

When I first opened the Microsoft Update Catalog page with IE 9
- IE prompted me to Install an Add on (I agreed).
- Then it prompted me to Run the Add on (I agreed).
- I had to close and re-open the page to see the changes, including the Search Box.

I found this MS article about the Add on.
Unable to install microsoft update catalog addon - Microsoft Community
Note: The link to download the DLL in this article is NOT an MS site!

So did anyone actually install this?

Also curious why it's hidden in such a way? It kind of feels like Microsoft didn't want this released to the general public.

Thoughts?

I was wondering the same thing Drew. I've not installed it either.

I did not install it (yet)...

Teerex did as the voluntary guinea-pig in post #127 of
http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-...9-list-available-hotfixes-windows-7-a-13.html

I just installed the IE10 update on a test box, so my excuse is I'm busy figuring out how well that works...

 

[Britton30]

Let us know how it works out David. I know one friend who installed IE10 and found many of his faves wouldn't load so he upgrade back to IE9.

 

[DavidE]

I will, but IE is not my primary browser...!

What finally prompted me to give it a try is the posts by Brink and w7bill in this thread
http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers...0-windows-7-any-good-windows-update-site.html

Most of what I've read about IE10 is negative, but when a resident alien likes it ...

It must have lost something in the translation from alien speak.IE10 به نظر می رسد به یک مرورگر خوب

 

[DavidE]

I've read some posts where Brink (Shawn) is jokingly called an alien because of his Pic...
I was just funnin with that...
He and many others here know a LOT more than i do, and i respect and appreciate that...

 

[DavidE]

Anyway, back to the original question...

So far everything is working well for me with IE10.
It seems much faster, I've had no problems with favorites/links, restoring the previous session...
Music plays well, I haven't tested Videos yet....or login in Secure sites....

Edit: I love Blues guitar, and I'm distracted with this new toy at the moment

 

[DavidE]

I got a Gibson 335 - like the guitar on the left...mine is Walnut (dark brown) circa 197x...

 

[SIW2]

I installed the update.

Was able to remove some I think it superseded and win update has not bugged me to reinstall those.

Might explain why it isn't being offered by wu.

Not noticed anything else.

Brink claims he is an alien himself, I'm beginning to believe it too.

Thanks Simon, I do have updates, well, up to date.

Britton30. It is just a huge roll up of existing updates compressed into one big "fix". It will be most handy for corporates who roll out updates infrequently as they have to make sure it does not break anything on the Intranet. Think point of sale, stock control systems and so on. It will me most useful for us Geek types when re installing 7SP1. You can run the patch, let it install and then once the required reboot has occurred have a secure system. They have got those hours of downloads into one small patch. I have installed it and noticed no difference. Oh and since I never used IE 9 I don't know if that worked OK with the catalogue site either.
