Windows 7 August 2018 Downloads Incorrect


Recommended Posts

Thanks for reporting. The links have been fixed in version 8.05.

Green highlighting is only applied to Win 7 and Office 2010 downloads. All other versions are always available. It seems to be working though:

By the way, black text items might still work. Green means the download links have been created, and can be fetched from the cache. Selecting a black item triggers the decision algorithm ("will the requested download link be generated or not?")

Windows 7 August 2018 Ultimate (x86 and x64/en-US)
both point to same link x86 version, there is no download for x64 version.

Also why not proving security monthly rollup downloads as well?
for example: http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4489878

2019-03 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4489878)

The full list of monthly rollups KB's could be obtained from

Windows updates are much easier searchable through the catalogue. I don't think it's necessary to provide them too.

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

That edit comment, I think, is connected to the matter I've reported in my thread about creating a Win7 slipstream disc as well - these standalone editions do still contain the different Win7 version .clg files but the content of the install.wim is actually just a single edition.

But I also believe they may be packaged wrongly and that stops the individual version being identified by the:-

Dism /Get-WIMInfo /WimFile:C:\xxxx\xxxx\sources\install.wim

command. This means you can not use it as it is for slipstreaming things like the Convenience Update Rollup package. Whether it affects a straight forward install I am not keen wasting time just to find out.
