Microsoft releases Windows 7 SP1 convenience rollup

This seems to have taken a backward step for me...

Installed this on a new build with the update slipstreamed into the install disk. Start searching for the remaining updates and its been sat searching for over 30 minutes now.

Tried this on another machine with the KB3102810 integrated aswell, same results, still searching.

Tryed with a original SP1 disk, installed KB3102810 as usual and was downloading and installing the full 220 odd updates after 10 minutes of searching maximum.

So it seems like this update even with the "Update agent fix" has broken the update seaching again...

Anyone else finding this?
 
Did you include the April 2015 Servicing Stack update (KB3020369) it mentioned as a prereq for this rollup when slipstreaming?

You have to. I was a little premature and tried without it and DISM failed...

Nice. I'll have a go at that WIM mounting business to make myself a nice new ISO.

edit: Bah. It has inexplicably failed. :(
edit2: Doh, make sure you have the pre-requisite first...

Yea it wont let you add this without it.

I even tried a original SP1 build then installed the "Update agent fix" then the pre req for the update then the update itself all separate but the updates are still broken. Removed the "big" update and working fine again.
 
I'm currently testing a different method of acquiring all updates and if I get it tested in an integrated ISO with DISM that works, I'll post a guide.

Yeah, it won't be compatible with Chrome & FF until sometime this summer.

Manual clean install instructions:

1) Disconnect the network cable
2) Install Windows 7 with SP1
3) Install KB3020369
4) Install KB3125574
5) Connect network cable
6) Scan for updates. The initial scan took my VM somewhere in the region of 30-60 minutes
 
Just testing it now on some really old machines i've to build for ages.. (put these machines to one side because of slow Windows updates)
 
I have been doing this already using Simplix Pack and integrating it in to my Windows 7 AIO it does take hours to do it but since it goes through every version of W7 there is one would expect it to take a while.

Works well though :) use it a lot at work.

I have tried this again today on a fresh VM.

The VM was installed with the original update fix, "big" update and the pre-req slipstreamed onto an original disk.

Seemed much better today, took about an hour to search and find the updates from a fresh install and found about 55 updates.
 
This doesn't have this months updates in it. I installed this last week to try to get around the W7 update check not working and when I finally got it to check for updates this week it picked up a additional 24 updates.
 
After slipstreaming this convenience rollup into a Win7 SP1 ISO I'm finding there are far fewer updates but some of the updates that it still needs are from 2013-2015. Maybe it's the Dell ISO I'm using or something.
