# BypassESU-LH v8 - Updated .NET 4 ESU Bypass (msiesu.dll) - Updated WU ESU Patcher: unblock the option for Vista implement the fix for WU DataStore.edb (with option to turn off via PatchWU.cmd) - Prerequisites for "WU ESU Patcher" Server 2008: KB4493730, KB4474419 Vista: KB4493730, KB4474419, Vista_SHA2_WUC project "Patch WUC as Server 2008" - Added tips to ReadMe.txt to help avoiding WU scan errors C8000266 or 8007000E - Note: the new fix for WU DataStore.edb will void current database if WU is currently working with previous version (for Server 2008), then you should not install the new "WU ESU Patcher"
So this is a newer version of BypassESU that supports Windows Server 2008 and Vista with support for the Premium Assurance updates up to January 2026, I suppose?
There is no such thing as "Premium Assurance updates", it's all ESU updates v6 & v7 already allow to install all of them up to 2026-01 (except .NET 4.x updates)
Still any possible to add support updates ESUs for Net Framework 4x via Windows Update? Or is something in tests? And why still updates IE need combinations for can install handly with use scripts? Can't download normal from Update Catalog, click and install without errors? We have 2025. Why still any fixes? Bypass ESU for Vista/Server 2008 should be like bypass ESU v13f for Windows 7 /Server 2008R2.

- Yes, it's called .NET 4 ESU Bypass - IE9 x64 updates / components (even in the Monthly Rollup) are restricted to Server 2008 you can't create a bypass that change the structure of update packages - you can do that with WU ESU Patcher - unlike Windows 7, Vista did not get any ESU licenses or components you can't create a bypass for something that don't exist
So if I understood good, all ESUs (with Net v4) come normally via windows update with Bypass v8. Earlier versions bypass was only normal security but net was by hands manually. And nothing don't make IE to via Windows update. I understood good all?
Yes .NET 4.6 > 4.7.2 have the same updates, and all are compatible with NT 6.0 however, only 4.6.2 is the officially supported
That bypass ESU only made, you don't need use that database fix after use SHA-WUC as server 2008 and download like after use that sha-wuc with fix. Still manually net framework and IE 9 updates. I can please about link to that version MSE what all tell how it work still for all users? It is in Polish language and free?
That bypass made that, after use sha wuc and patch to server 2008 and install all that v8 LH, WU find updates normally. Don't need use that fix what needed use before v8. But still need Net Framework 4x to install by hands - error in WU and IE by hands. That i told. About MSE I liked use that, but don't update from February or March database. And someone told about something what look like MSE but have better protection and is free too - too Microsoft product.
