This question relates to 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm a newbie when it comes to using Microsoft Update Catalog.

sfc/scannow reports some errors it can't fix. Following the advice in another thread, I want to download, install, and run SURT. When I click on the relevant Download button in Microsoft Update Catalog, it opens another window with additional links for downloading files. This second window lists 26 (!) files, only one of which has "kb947821" in the name. Do I need to download and install them all?

I've found lots of instruction on using the Update Catalog, but they all say to click on *the* link to download the update. Haven't found any help on situations like this.

Yeah, that's the one with the relevant KB number in the name. But what about the other 25 that are listed? Do I need to download and install those too? (Was thinking maybe they're prerequisites or something.)

Another way of asking my question: If KB947821 is a single download, why does clicking the Download button in the Catalog display a list of 26 files?

most of the other files listed are for and only apply to certain editions or certain Win7 versions (like windows6.1-7601-x64-servercab3_cacc592cdd5868430fe221e067a32e7aca264f1e.exe for Server 2008 R2 SP1)
some of the files have "RTM" or 'rtm" in the filename, which only apply to the pre-sp1 or original Win7 version and not needed for Win7 SP1

you do not need to download them all, just only download the kb947821 msu file and ignore the other ones
