ricktendo Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Need info on Windows 7 hotfixes:Wondering if there is a commandline (like XP hotfixes) that will tell the .msu hotfix to install the LDR (or QFE) branch version of the files...and what about when integrating updates with WAIK, can it be instructed there also?

cluberti Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 You can install the LDR branch onto a Vista (or Win7) machine via the following commands:1. Open an administrative cmd prompt2. create a folder for the expanded MSU, as well as a folder for the expanded CAB file, and then type the following commands:C:\> Expand -f:* "<full path of .msu file> <expanded MSU folder>C:\> Expand -f:* <full path of extracted kb article # .cab file> <expanded CAB folder> C:\> pkgmgr /ip /m:<expanded CAB folder>\update-bf.mumNote that you could install packages via pkgmgr to an offline installation as well, although I've not tried it. However, since pkgmgr supports both online and offline packaging, this should work - I do not know if you can use the WAIK to do this, however.

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 @clubertiit doesn't work for me. I've tried it out and trusted installer fails.2009-08-11 23:29:57, Error CBS Exec: Missing file for package: Package_for_KB971557_BF~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0, file: msrle32.dll, source: \\?\D:\Daten\Temp\avi\x86_microsoft-windows-video-for-windows_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.22447_none_9297557ea1f9cc4d\msrle32.dll. hr: 0x800f081f2009-08-11 23:29:57, Info CSI 00000089@2009/8/11:21:29:57.798 CSI Transaction @0x2d48a8 destroyed2009-08-11 23:29:57, Error CBS Failed to pre- stage package: Package_for_KB971557_BF~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0this is the output of the cbs.log. When you do this DPX is not called to generate the files from the patches shipped with the update and so the installation fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 no, the wants to install the LDR/QFE VErsion of a Update.Official Updates come with 2 version of a file. A GDR, which fixes the (security) update and this version is stable and well tested. There is also a LDR version. This version includes hotfixes from earlier KBs and the fixes from the LDR branch. When you install an update, the installer looks if you have a hotfix for the updated files installed. If such a hotfix was found, the LDQ version is installed. If you only have GDR updates installed, you'll get the GDR files from the update.Now, ricktendo64 always wants the LDR version to be installed, no matter if he had a hotfix installed or not.

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 ok, I found a way to get it working cluberti.You have to install the Update first so that the new files are being generated and placed inside the WinSxS folder. The installer will now instal the GDR version. When you now install the update-bf.mum the trustedinstaller will install the LDR version. So you have to do 2 steps.I've tested this on Vista and Win7 (RTM) and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Good to know - any specific reason you'd want to run the LDR branch over the GDR branch, btw? LDR fixes are basically untested compared to their GDR counterparts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I only wanted to test it out.When I need a specific fix, I request the hotfix and install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 I always used the QFE versions of the files in XP, no particular reason just that they have more bug fixes and they are usually the ones that are used for the Service Pack when it comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
