Good luck with that one. Will probably be scary to look at its S.M.A.R.T and running a quick read speed test.

In which case you might as well use microsoft's own MediaCreationTool.exe ...

You can't update something when there's nothing to update.

^ That's probably because the .wa addons aren't meant to perform cleanup before installation, whereas the repack is.

No longer available.

If you need to install .net framework 4.8 on a live system, you should download and install this: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/2d6bb6b2-226a-4baa-bdec-798822606ff1/8494001c276a4b96804cde7829c04d7f/ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe

By integrating KB4486153. In any case, this isn't the right place to ask. The thread is meant for Windows 7.

@rulman You don't use any commands. The instructions clearly say the addons need to be placed in the same folder as the updatepack7r2.exe.

Do some more research on Simplix UpdatePack and use it on a regular windows 7 edition.

You should've stopped there. Windows 7 has a lot of obsolete updates and/or updates that are only required to make Windows Update client happy. If you're making your own up-to-date iso, using Windows Update after installation is, imo, pointless.

No point then. Have fun with the "latest" images.

And your point is?

No, just multiple cumulative updates integrate for no reason. For reference, my own x64 AIO (Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise) made using simplix updatepack and abbodi's addons(directx, visual c++, .net framework) is the same size as the single index x64 Ultimate, Pro and Home Premium images. Mine are even more up-to-date than these "official homebrews"...

Those are garbage. 5GB+ iso for a single edition and integrated updates are a mess. Better download regular 7 SP1 media refresh iso and manually update it with simplix updatepack.

Did you bother checking the date on the posts you speak of?

Buy a license.

Nevermind, found the solution:

Just download clean windows 7 sp1 x64 image, simplix it and install it. On Dell's website there aren't all that many drivers for windows 7: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/servicetag/0-NzVmWG5PRnRDT01aQzFJSVNxUHJUZz090/drivers The diagnostics and firmware/bios stuff you don't really need.

"Access denied" makes me think "permissions", but even after I take full ownership of C:\ and subfolders, the problem persists. I've tried setting Mount and Temp folders on drive D:\ (yes, drive, not just partition, it's a separate drive), still same problem. I've never experienced this before. All I've done is perform a clean install of Windows 10 on my SSD(I had to).

Can you share your service tag?

Works great even with Simplix UpdatePack 19.12.19(old one at this point).

The recent iso's are badly updated: - more than one CU integrated for w/e reason - all the telemetry is most probably in there - the size of a single index iso is 5GB+, which is roughly the same as a 64-bit AIO with integrated updates, .net 4.8, visual c++ runtimes and directx The common joke is those iso's were made by newbie interns and are really highly NOT recommended. Just download a clean media refresh iso, use simplix updatepack on it(download abbodi's addons and put them next to the updatepack if you want). You'll achieve a much better result.
