Install Pending while trying to install updates to Win7 ISO

[bfa1509]

Hi there,

I am using WinToolkit 1.7.0.14 to install a hotfix to a Windows 7 ISO. I am attempting to install Windows 7 Professional X64 on a new AMD laptop with an NVMe SSD. From trawling the internet it seems I have to install a hotfix in the form of an update from microsoft (KB2990941 + KB3087873). After I install the hotfix through WinToolkit it says "Install Pending". From looking through other threads this appears to be normal, but because I need this hotfix for the installation of the OS, I can't reboot to finish the installation of the hotfix. I'm stuck in a loop!

Is there any way to finalise the installation before I attempt to install on the laptop? It naturally looks for drivers relating to the NVMe ssd when I try to install.

 

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

 

Regards,

B

Try this instead of WinTollkit.

For KB2990941 here is the official update to add native driver support in NVM Express in Windows 7. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2990941/update-to-add-native-driver-support-in-nvm-express-in-windows-7-and-wi

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the instructions in that link but it failed at the step with the recurse.

I found the solution on sevenforums: https://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/415754-update-your-win-7-installation-media.html . I gave instructions on what I did to get it to work on post #804.

Thanks,
