Quick background info....
6 months ago I integrated Windows updates into an original Win7_SP1x64 ISO to try to get it close to being "2020 updated" and had zero issues doing so. Even though I figured it was a one-time effort and I wouldn't have to do it again, I made a lot of notes about what I did and why. My Win 7 version is Home Premium and since I'm not going to upgrade to a different version of it I had NTLite strip away all the other versions. That made sense until a few days ago. I now need to do all this again for a Win 7 Professional ISO for reasons I won't bore you with.
I held onto all the updates I used, so I fired up NTLite a bit ago and added the folder they're in to the queue, and I'm curious about the order NTLite wants to do them in. I'd think updates would be integrated by release date, but I see some exceptions in my list.
According to NTLite they'll be installed in the following order.... (curious dates in RED, my notes in PURPLE)
KB4474419: 9/2019, SHA-2 update
KB4490628: 3/2019, Servicing Stack update
^^^ These 2 were the most current versions of each update and needed to be installed before other updates could be integrated. I wasn't sure if I needed to integrate multiple versions of each going back to 2013 or not so I just tried using the most current version of each and there were no issues when I did this 6 months ago.
KB2670838: 3/2013, Platform update for Windows 7 SP1 - apparently needed in order to integrate IE 11 later from what I read
KB3125574: 5/2016, Convenience Rollup
KB2841134: 5/2014, IE 11 - I never use IE, but I read that it should be installed/integrated even if not used because it updates other parts of the OS, and that it should be installed after the Convenience Rollup despite being released 2 years prior? Apparently NTLite agrees.
========================================================================
These are the two I'm curious about...
KB2882822: 10/2013, ITraceRelogger interface support - something else allegedly needed by IE 11, but why does NTLite want to integrate it after the Convenience Rollup and IE?
KB2999226: 10/2015, Update for Universal C Runtime - I read that it was needed before integrating the Convenience Rollup, but NTLite disagrees?
Does anyone know if I really need either of these?
==================================================================
KB4534251: 1/2020, IE 11 Cumulative Security Update.
KB4534310: 1/2020 Monthly rollup
KB4534314: 1/2020 Security update
Basically my update path when I did this 6 months ago was Win 7 SP1 ISO > Convenience Rollup > 1/2020 rollup, with a few smaller required updates tossed in the mix. Unfortunately I don't have anything in my notes about KB2882822 & KB2999226 being integrated out of order chronologically, so I'm posting here for the collective thoughts/opinions rather than spend days and days researching all this again. I try to thoroughly research things, but maybe I overlooked or misunderstood some of what I read. Thoughts?
*THANKS*
