It really gives off an air of sloppiness, and again, I would not expect that from Microsoft these days. But making it available from a long-abandoned web page that is accessible only via Microsoft's browser, requires an ActiveX add-on, and doesn't work is just baffling. The rollup, service pack, call it what you will, is desperately needed and a good decision. This package will be distributed over Windows Update. This will be a continuously evolving, cumulative batch of non-security fixes. So, the dependency doesn't qualify it as a service pack.įor updates released after April 2016, Microsoft also plans to produce monthly rollups of non-security updates for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012/R2. You could install SP2 for Windows XP without having to install SP1 first.
One reason why Microsoft is not calling it Service Pack 2 is because it requires Service Pack 1 to be installed. That's amateur hour I would not expect from Microsoft these days.
I tried to add them to the cart, and no luck. After installing an ActiveX add-on, I was given a catalog with either the Windows 7 rollup or the Server 2008 rollup, plus a separate Windows 7 patch. So, I loaded the page in IE 11 instead of Firefox. If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 7, click on Download the package now in front of All supported 圆4-based versions of Windows 7. If you prefer to use a different Web browser, you can get updates from the Microsoft Download Center.
