    Greetings! This may be of interest to some. Initially, (2) of the Systems I ran the dotNET solution on worked and (2) failed. After some poking around I realized that the entire FilePath, including the optional command string (/msioptions) was greater than 364 char based on where I was running the solution. The PASTE operation into the ShortCut's TARGET string terminated at 364 char without saying anything. When I applied the change, it worked fine... not realizing that the total TARGET string had been truncated at 364-char.

    Once I realized this, I ran the fix from a much shorter FilePath and the two failed Systems worked just fine. This is what's called seeing the forest through the trees <duh...>. Hope this helps someone...

    Hi Everyone,

    I have tried using Vinzf's method to install KB4556399. Works on two of my Win7 machines. BUT I get the following error when using the following on one of my Win7 x64 machines.
    for x64:
    ndp48-kb4552921-x64_6912af0422fc16a14f4f398fda98117f1e2f01b8.exe /msioptions "ESU_LOCK=2D40812E-974C-4EA2-8DCC-63C992D505B9"

    Error log:

    1) I have triple checked I have the correct file for my X64 , have re downloaded in case of a corrupt file
    (same file worked on my other two x64 machines)
    2) Triple checked that I have the correct command line : C:\ndp48-kb4552921-x64_6912af0422fc16a14f4f398fda98117f1e2f01b8.exe /msioptions "ESU_LOCK=2D40812E-974C-4EA2-8DCC-63C992D505B9"
    3) I have ran both elevated and non elevated
    4) I have tried to repair the original .NET install , but that also fails with a similar error log , when I run ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe

    Anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance for any help...

    I had the same issue but after I installed kb4552921 the .net windows update installed. After that, the service stacking update appeared and also installed. Try updating dot net via windows update now.

    Now, a miracle has happened!
    KB4556399 install failed twice, and succeeded the third time....

    I mean, after the third reboot, KB4556399 it is installed, understand that who wants. :1eye:

    None. I did not modify any packages.
    If you're referring to how I've gotten the custom action dll: just by watching the file activity using sysinternals procmon and capturing that dll quickly during execution of msiexec.
