This convenience rollup package, available to download from
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3125574,
contains all the security and non-security fixes released since the
release of Windows 7 SP1 that are suitable for general distribution, up
through April 2016. Install this one update, and then you only need new
updates released after April 2016.

And since this update can be injected into Windows 7 SP1 media, it’s
fully supported to mount a Windows 7 SP1 image (WIM file), then inject
this update into it. See
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744559(v=ws.10).aspx for
the details of how to do this.

When I link to the page it tells me that I must be running IE 6 or
later. I have IE 11..... If they can't get this right, I'm leary of the
whole thing.

The catalog server uses ActiveX plugins. In particular, it
allows you to click multiple items, and put them in your
download gueue. For this particular update, it also
allows you to specify a target directory. I put the
package on my D: drive, which has a bit more room
for stuff like this.

Sounds like the web page is also doing browser sniffing,
if it is rejecting IE11. I would think IE11 still supports
ActiveX.

Since the Edge browser (Win10) doesn't support ActiveX, you
can't even visit that page with Edge, as it would be
treated as a "foreign" browser.

You will also have to learn to "love" servers like
this, because Microsoft has promised to remove downloads
from regular web pages.

Fyi...since this rolloup contains current through April 2016...and
contains security and non-security releases/fixes it will be interesting
to see if anyone can actually validate whether 3035583 is included(which
wasn't a security or non-security fix) or just claim '5583' is included.

Let the conspiracy theorist come forward g

The last time I checked, '583 was not available from
the catalog server as a separate update.

I don't see a reason why it would be included in a
general-purpose rollup. Since '583 has pre-requisites,
there is no reason to deploy it everywhere. That's why
it is delivered directly via Windows Update. But
CEIP stuff, sure. That's for everybody.

I tried it from a full updated Win7 machine and can say:
Same here. it said to alternatively go to the Microsoft Download center
but when I went there...I could see no place to get the rollup


Does anyone have a link that actually works?

Same here - couldn't find it.

I looked mostly out of idle curiosity since I generally allow MS updates
and security-related updates are all installed as far as I know.

Both links works fine here on IE11 and SeaMonkey.

I mentioned that I had to toggle the active-x setting in "tools" to get

This may not be a convenience.

This is the question that came to my mind. It seems the
"convenience" is for the benefit of Microsoft's advertising and
upgrade world-domination-at-all-cost machine, not for the user.
