Hoy007, Stormit has mirrors for several files offered on this site, including this update pack (just scroll to the bottom of his Google Drive page for this one). [Ninja'd by shhnedo] Don't integrate this update pack as a service pack in nLite; integrate it under "Hotfixes, Addon-ons and Update Packs".

Likewise, my testing shows no difference with MU regarding installed updates. KB4339093 is not offered again. The only updates listed are KB4134651-v1 and -v2.

Done. Please reply here so I know it works for you.

I may be able to help with that. What name would you prefer?

However, you will be able to take advantage of the "improvements", if any, in any of the other files provided in the modified update. The thing is, all the other files in KB4134651 -v2 are superseded by KB4339291 , released on the same day. The only file that matters for the update in question is t...

Simply changing an older file's version does not make the file secure, Nikos. That's the solution offered to trick the Microsoft Update website into believing the new version is installed. That's not good enough for me.

The link works for me. If it didn't work for you before, please try again.

Updated to 20180715. Please read the Changelog for full details.

Hope this answers your question, dudeuk.

Updated to 1.5.40.

Added KB4339093, replaces KB4230450.

I don't know. But this really deserves its own thread.

Installs for me in VM with no other updates installed. No OS alterations. I don't normally use the /O switch, but it doesn't matter in this case. It installs for me either way. Typically, when an update doesn't install for me it means that the component being updated has been disabled (or hasn't bee...

It may, Mike86. But doing so would render the update incomplete and potentially provide a false sense of security. That's something I don't want to do.

Updated to 20180613. Please read the Changelog for full details.

Updated to 1.5.39.

Added KB4230450, replaces KB4103768.

The Summary section of KB4316682 explains what it's for.

Microsoft wrote:Adds the ability [for IE8 in POSReady 2009] to utilize TLS 1.2 support.

This change should be included in KB4230450.

Glad you were able to work it out.

dencorso, heinoganda on MSFN is Windowsfighter here.

Bersaglio also seems to be a member.

There is an issue with KB4034775 that requires special treatment for that file. In 5erPOSUp.inf see lines 19 through 25, and lines 40 through 55 for more on how delayed file replacement is implemented. [2017/11/15 03:10 UTC] - 20171115 Added a delayed file replacement fix for Stickies application no...

That does not install the update: the INF file is technically a registry hive . To make it "right-click installable" you could try replacing the first 5 lines with the following code. I can't guarantee it will install correctly by this method, though. If a time zone being updated is one you're curre...

The only time zone file that you need is tzupdate.inf from the POSReady addon. It is created by a script I run after installing the latest time zone update to an unaltered Windows install in a virtual machine. Rename the INF to TimeZone.inf and replace the file in your source. You can edit line 5 to...

The complexity depends on how it needs to be added, and what the INF is supposed to do.

Yes, Mike86. Microsoft changed how they detect POSReady. The only registry entry you should use is this one:

Code: Select all

HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady","Installed",0x10001,1

I don't know. Always wondered that myself.

user_hidden added that file to his 20160510 update pack, Mike86. It is the latest available file.

Updated to 20180520:

High priority update KB4130978 replaced high priority update KB4093753.

KB4134651, though flawed, may be a necessary evil. One of the vulnerabilities it patches (CVE-2018-8174) is actively being exploited.

Probably shouldn't include KB4134651, GH0st.

My list for May agrees with yours, Atari800xl. KB4134651 is no better than KB4074852.

Updated to 20180508. Please read the Changelog for full details.

KB4134651 is causing the same problems as KB4074852. It is not included in this addon.

KB4074852 will not be included. Too many people having too many problems with it.

You're welcome.

Updated to 1.5.38.

Added KB4103768, replaces KB4092946.

Could update time zones and certificates, but they're easy file replacements. You can pull the files out of the POSReady addon and directly replace those in the source after integrating the update pack.

None that I've heard. Microsoft's Lifecycle page still shows that POSReady 2009 will receive updates until April 2019.

I'll do my best to stay on top of things, Nikos. Been disheartened the past few months hearing of AMD microcode bricking PCs and other bad updates from Microsoft. So, there were no releases from me for a few months to allow things to stabilize a bit. Can't promise I'll release monthly again, but I'l...

Planning a last release of the POSReady addon for the last (ever?) XP patches.

It would seem I was off by a year. POSReady 2009 will receive updates until April 2019.

You're welcome, everyone.

user_hidden still checks in from time to time, shhnedo. He would know best.

Updated to 20180417. Please read the Changelog for full details.

Updated to 1.5.37.

Added KB4092946, replaces KB4052978.

It's coming, dudeuk. Testing is done.

KB4074852 will not be included. Too many people having too many problems with it.

New time zone update today (KB4093753). Was creating the changelog when I decided to double-check the MU website. Hoping to release before end-of-day.

Testing with all updates in the addon except KB4074852, which will be tested later.

EDIT (2 hours later): So far, so good...

Typo fixed, GH0st. Thank you. Forgot to update the VM before compiling the list (VM from October 2017). The other updates are still valid though.

Making progress. What follows is what I have determined so far. Bear in mind that these changes apply to the addons, and not necessarily to other updates released this year by Microsoft. KB931125 will be updated. KB4034044 replaces KB4020535. KB4056564 will be added. KB4056941 replaces KB4022883-v2....

Planning a last release of the POSReady addon for the last (ever?) XP patches. Been waiting/hoping for a definitive Spectre and Meltdown fix that won't brick PCs. Whatever happens, I'll release what I've got for April.

It's up to you, Dibya, but I'll be releasing another addon soon to supersede it. If you do post your addon, create a new thread for it. They could do an update pack, just make sure it does NOT included KB4056615, KB4074852. Avoiding these, include all the others, is a good thing I'll look into those...

Thanks, user_hidden.

KB4012598 was superseded by KB4018466 in pack v20170619.

TL:DR - Probably yes. Want to wait for Microsoft to unblock KB4056892 (a Win10 update), which includes a microcode update for modern microprocessors to mitigate the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities . KB4056615 for POSReady may include the same microcode update, as the update package includes pro...

Doesn't matter, shhnedo. The fix addon edits SysSetup.inf to comment out the troublesome file entries, not the files themselves for IE8.

It has more to do with not having the latest IE update installed. Of course, it kind of defeats the purpose of running automatic updates or visiting the Microsoft Update website if we must track down that update manually anyway.

Updated to 20171222. Please read the Changelog for full details.
