    thanks but i get the same error. It´s not really worth the hassle, so i´ll bite it and get the free win10 upgrade. Thx for the effort here though.

    why rush into installing win10 when you didn't even try anything to solve this issue ?
    is the SP1 installed on your machine ?
    if not, you have to install SP1 first before to install the update.
    Otherwise, have you just installed win7 on your machine or it was installed for many years on the machine ? if it's long time installation, you may need to perform a windows repair procedure as your system files could be corrupted.

    Well then buy a Windows 7 ESU key for $65 and this patch works :)
    What are you talking about? Microsoft does not sell the key to the private/final users like us, but only to the companies.
    ---------------------------------------
    SusanBradley's comment was - whether intentionally or unintentionally - only a partial assessment of the situation.

    I'm not sure how it works in the USA, but after reading her comment, I contacted a friend here in Germany today who's involved in his university's contract with M$.

    The university pays around 60 euros per machine - they only have a few still running Win 7 - but this is only for the current calendar year. That is, if you somehow bought a license today, it would expire at the end of 2020.

    For 2021, you'd have to buy another one-year ESU license. However, my friend said the price is expected to double, and then double again for 2022. This last bit of info is speculation, but based upon well-sourced rumors.​

    I also have v4 installed; only needed the April SSU (KB4550738) to install this month's updates including the rollups. You will probably need the May SSU (KB4555449) and that ESU prep package (KB4538483) for June though.

    Ok thanks. Kb4552921 was for NET framework 4.8. I guess the failed updates are for the other Net framework version i dont have installed anyway? I´ll just have to trust that everything went well.
