These can only be installed if Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 and WSUS have been upgraded accordingly (see also WSUS: Endpoint decommissioned SHA2 update required). However, users of Windows systems that have Symantec Antivirus or Norton Antivirus installed have a problem since the August 2019 patchday. The antivirus solutions only detected updates signed with SHA2 (because of the missing SHA-1 signature) as malware and blocked these packages. Symantec has published the KB article Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2 updates that are only SHA-2 signed are not available with Symantec Endpoint Protection installed. Microsoft has therefore blocked the deployment of the August 2019 updates for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The required August 2019 security updates were not offered. I reported in the blog post Symantec/Norton blocks Windows Updates (SHA-2). Through the following tweet by Woody Leonhard I became aware that Symantec has now released an update to solve this problem. (MS's KB articles haven't been updated.) Remember that block on Win7 patches this month, on systems with Symantec or Norton antivirus? Looks like Symantec has released a fix and you can now install this month's patches.
