    Thanks. I know this error, and thoroughly investigated multiple times. It's caused by other software on your computer, or one of the other root causes listed in the FAQ entry. It's you local connection issue, and not a bug.

    perhaps a connection issue between nod3's PC and the MS server and needs to check with his internet provider
    maybe clear the dns cache with ipconfig.exe /flushdns and then restart the computer (or even restart his internet router)

    I'm not experiencing the problem he had as the Windows ISO Downloader tool is working fine 4 me and I can't reproduce the problem 🙂

  2. the Aug. 2018 Win7 SP1 ISOs are only available in USA English - not available for foreign (non-English) languages.  they are also "standalone" editions that bundle a single edition and are NOT AIOs (so the ei.cfg removal trick won't work with the Aug 2018 ISOs because ei.cfg is actually not present in these ISOs)
    they also contain certain win7 "telemetry" updates which some people despise 

    original Win7 SP1 ISOs (not the Aug 2018 ones) can be used as AIOs with the ei.cfg removal trick - and these older Win7 ISOs are available in many languages

    they could be released either in mid-May or June since 2004/20H1 did not even reach the RP ring and is still in the Slow ring for almost 4 months

    Version 2004 has finally reached the release preview ring Thu April 16 as build 19041.207 - aka. May 2020 Update

    2004 ISOs with the 19041.207 build will first be available only to windows insiders & MSDN subscribers in late April and then a public release sometime in May (perhaps either Tue May 12 or May 19, neither of which happened on a Tuesday in May).

    also MS decided to make 19041.208 the final version on 4/30,  then released build 19041.264 on 5/12 and ultimately ended up releasing the 19041.264 build to the public near the end of May

  4. sorry - HP OEM based Win7 ISOs are not available for download like Dell - heck not even Microsoft provides OEM based Win7 ISO downloads as they said so themselves

    Microsoft does not supply Windows 7 ISO downloads for OEM preinstalled operating system Product Keys for Dell, HP, etc. machines

    edit 4/16 - you have to either buy win7 system recovery DVD images from HP (if they still have them available for your specific HP model) or google search for an hp win7 oem iso if you are lucky enough to find one compatible for your HP computer

    yeah, after installing I noticed that I had the correct build (1909 build 18363.418). I also read somewhere that 1903 updates also apply to 1909, is that right?

     

    that's correct, jvidal.

    What's new for Windows 10, version 1909 and Windows 10, version 1903 release notes

    Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909 share a common core operating system and an identical set of system files. As a result, the new features in Windows 10, version 1909 were included in the recent monthly quality update for Windows 10, version 1903 (released October 8, 2019), but are currently in a dormant state. These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on using an enablement package, which is a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that simply activates the Windows 10, version 1909 features.

    To reflect this change, the release notes for Windows 10, version 1903 and Windows 10, version 1909 will share an update history page. Each release page will contain a list of addressed issues for both 1903 and 1909 versions. Note that the 1909 version will always contain the fixes for 1903; however, 1903 will not contain the fixes for 1909. This page will provide you with the build numbers for both 1909 and 1903 versions so that it will be easier for support to assist you if you encounter issues.

    They are indeed badly and unprofessionally made. Looks like somebody installed Windows 7,  installed updates, syspreped it and added it back to the WIM file. I would use the original Windows 7 ISOs from 2011.

    yup.  the aug 2018 w7 isos were truly oversized (overrated) and badly made

    Win7 has already past EOL yesterday 1/14/2020

    For a definite answer, you might want to contact Microsoft and ask them when they plan to shut down the downloads API. Everything else is speculation.

    (My personal speculation is that it's too late. But let's wait and see what happens on 1 February.)

     

    Feb. 1, 2020 is a Saturday though

  7. yup, 1909 ISO download links now working on my end.  😀

    wait, there's something wrong. The downloaded files, although called "win10 1909" contain version 18362.418 (19h1), according to the file [1].xml inside install.wim.

    this doesn't add up. it should be version 18363.xxx (19h2)

     

    edit: after installing, the about dialog says "Windows version 1909 (OS Build 18363.418)"

     

    don't pay attention to the xml files inside install.wim, jvidal.

    many of the 1909 system files are actually build 18362.x versions. 
    also 1909 = 1903 SP1

    read the following from this blog:

    Versioning

    You can verify that the Windows 10, version 1909 update was successful by running Winver, versioning APIs, WMI, and other common interfaces, and verifying that the operating system build number is 18363. Because of the common baseline, even after installing Windows 10, version 1909, individual system file versions will still appear as 18362.

    The real question is why do you want to downgrade to 1703? It is no longer supported. I suggest you just keep using 1903, it is quite good.

    well SnowBall, only the home & professional editions of win10 v1703 have been out of support since last year (October 2018) but Microsoft will retire v1703 support for the enterprise & education editions this October 2019

    but downgrading to 1703 regardless is not a good long-term solution and the "refreshed" versions of 1903 are pretty stable now

    btw - the MediaCreateTool1903.exe file currently downloads build 18362.356 ESD files (1903 Sept 2019 refresh) and not the older ones

    Thanks for the reply SnowBall.

    I'm using the HeiDoc.net Windows ISO Downloader v8.21.0.128
    When choosing Win10 anything / English,  it displays the 64-bit download link:

    https://software-download.microsoft.com/db/Win10_1903_V2_English_x64.iso?t=fc1a0adf-8be9-4cff-b511-133dfd29a202&e=1569837870&h=37f81667403ec0fc3deabc9afd1037fa

     

     

     

    the problem is on Microsoft's end and not with the Windows ISO Downloader tool as they have not yet posted the actual 1903 V2 ISO downloads.

    Edit 10/2: so wait until Thursday morning (Oct. 3) or next Tuesday (Oct. 8 ) and try again by any one of those future dates :)

    even the Techbench by WZT (tb rg adguard) site is also currently having non-working 1903 V2 ISO links

    Edit 10/3 - try downloading the 1903 V2 ISOs now as of Thursday Oct. 3, 12:45pm pacific local time - they are up now 😀

    Who burn DVD in 2019 anyways ?

    I do sometimes - I got the last batch of DVD+RW discs from my local Staples store in southern California at the end of August and I sometimes burn those original Win7 SP1 ISO images (not the Aug 2018 ones) onto rewrite-able DVDs.  for the Aug 2018 Win7 ISO images, dual layered DVDs (DVD+R DL) are required as I also got those earlier in the year - also from Staples.

    I think I may need to install the recent SHA-2 only Windows update first though.

    Does anyone here know about that and whether it is being backdated to cover earlier Windows updates?   

    sometimes the SHA-2 only updates (like the KB4474419 update originally released back in March 2019) for Win7 get revised to fix newly discovered problems with it [KB4474419 got a V2 release in August and now got a V3 release this September].

    so just install the revised KB4474419 update along with the latest servicing stack update for Windows 7 (minimum KB4490628 update but that update has been replaced by the KB4516655 update this September) and you're all set.

  11. the Aug 2018 Win7 downloads are "standalone" edition downloads (only come with Home Premium, Pro & Ultimate as separate editions and not bundled together) that include IE11 & .NET 4.7.2 but are available in US English language only.  all post sp1 updates except the big KB3125574 rollup update are included

    btw, Oct. 1 is a Tuesday - less than a week away from now 😃

    is this an RTM version (no service packs integrated?)

    The Direct Link to the 1903 Media Creation Tool is released:

    https://software-download.microsoft.com/download/pr/MediaCreationTool1903.exe 

    The Landing Page for the Media Creation Tool hasn't been updated yet:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/

     

    this tool has been re-posted by Microsoft recently 5/21 AND with the updated products.xml file that can download & create the 1903 ISOs which are build 18362.30

  14. Microsoft has just posted the 1903 ISOs on the Windows 10 downloads page as of Tuesday May 21, which have build 18362.30.

    However v8.12 & v8.13 of the Windows ISO Downloader tool list 1903 as the "Windows 10 April 2019 Update" which is not correct.

    I'll wait for v8.14 or higher, which should have the proper description of 1903 as the "Windows 10 May 2019 Update" like the one mentioned recently on the Win10 download page

    Dell never provided a ISO for Windows XP or Windows Vista (each system shipped with a CD or DVD) and will be unlikely to do so as the Operating Systems are End of Life. Microsoft also removed the setup files for Windows Vista which it had available.

     

    for XP no

    for Vista, yes (my brother & I bought a Dell Inspiron e1405 laptop for my mom back in mid-2007 which did come with a Dell OEM DVD disc of Vista Home Basic 32bit edition); if you mean provided by a "download" then probably not

  16. also some Win7 users prefer obtaining the smaller "security-only" updates on their own and not the big security monthly rollups

    edit: I also have to point out that the Aug 2018 Win7 ISO downloads do not contain ei.cfg as the Aug 2018 Win7 ISO images are standalone editions that do not contain other editions
