MicrosoftHi,
I have just noticed that the prerequisites of the Service Stack Updates appear to be superseded by the next available SSU... Much like the Monthly Roll Up's do...
As an example, Pre-Req 1 requires SSU (12 March) KB4490628, but Pre-Req 2 requires SSU (10 Sept) KB4516655 which superseded it.
Notice that in both instances there is a statement near the bottom of the 'How to get this update' section which reads (in the case of SSU KB4516655😞
"This update replaces the previously released update KB 4490628.".
In fact, if you go to each of the SSU updates starting from the one just released (10 Dec 2019) KB4531787 (go to https://support.microsoft.com/help/4531787) then you will see this statement referring to replacing the previously released SSU.
In short, Poornima_Priyadarshini or anyone else in a position of knowledge: Will the latest SSU alone be enough to allow this ESU to run?
I suspect installing the latest SSU (10 Dec, KB4531787 or KB4531787), the latest Monthly Roll Up (KB4530734), the SHA2 Code Sign patch (KB4474419) as well as SP1, will be enough?
For my part I had to update a customers Win 7 SP1 machine that hadn't been patched for a year, doing so saw it only update to the latest SSU and Roll UP as well as the SHA2 patch via the Windows Update path - neither of the Pre-Req SSU's have been installed.
I await the customer purchasing the ESU license before I can test it actually works though!
Is anyone able to verify?
