Gilou Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hello there, I have tried to download the windows updates published so far to prepare my version of windows, but I haven't been able to find them: on the download centre, all I see are pre-beta updates.Could you tell me where I can find the updates for windows 7, elsewhere than on the windows update website?ThanksGilou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Which version and build of Win7 are you using to find updates?/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilou Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Right now, I am under win XP.Is that why I cannot find the updates on the microsoft download centre (which is not the windows update site)?Is there any loophole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntaxError Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Search microsoft.com with the KB numbers for each update you want to download, then manually download each one. I'm not sure you can do it from XP because some of the updates require you to run the GenuineCheck tool in order to get them. No idea if codes returned from XP will work for grabbing Win7 updates.I did this from Win7 for the same purpose and didn't have any problems.

cluberti Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 You could consider using a tool such as Windows Updates Downloader, which was written by our own jcarle. There is a Win7 update list hosted here on MSFN for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strel Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) URL REMOVED you'll find restricted hotfixes not deployed through the update system. Edited December 15, 2009 by cluberti Linkinng to files redistributed and not on Microsoft's site. Microsoft does not allow redistribution of any of their files, including updates. Violation of rule 1b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
