[WinPartners] Clean installs of Win7 SP1 32-bit hanging

[Albert Wang]

Hi guys,

We have found that applying this fix (Servicing stack update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1: September 20, 2016)  solved our Windows 7 clean install but broken update problem.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
Albert
