My neighbor still has ancient PC and its CPU cannot accept MS Windows 10 OS, so till further time, my neighbor is still on MS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OS... Now, in in the mid of April of this year and after the manual and all Prerequisites installations required here (originated via Page 1 of this MDL Thread right here), for the first time ever, I install on this of my neighbor's PC, the "BypassESU-v5-AIO", and its Full installation here... Everything went fine with that, it install all the MS Updates regularly, all the way til May 13 2020, when he had problem with "2020-05 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB4556399)". Luckily, I was able to fix that with the great and thankful solution (the "dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer.cmd"), originated from Page 150 & 157 on this MDL Thread right here... After that, no problem at all with any newer MS Updates, until today's "2020-07 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB4566517)". Now, I was able to fix today even that, on the way that I temporary disabled the AV, and within shorter root folder, extrapolate all from "BypassESU-v5-AIO" package, and Run from here & with the Admin privileges, the "LiveOS-Setup.cmd" file... He offer me to "Remove WU ESU Patcher", so I done that, and during that removing process, he removes everything successfully, but he reported the "Access is denied" message on removing the "C:\Windows\System32\sle.dll" file (?) Nevertheless, I rebooted the PC then, and after that, I again temporary disabled the AV, and within shorter root folder, extrapolate all from "BypassESU-v7-AIO" package, and Run from here & with the Admin privileges, the "LiveOS-Setup.cmd" file... He then offer me to "Install WU ESU Patcher" or to "Install .NET 4 ESU Bypass". I pick up to "Install WU ESU Patcher", and soon after that, the installation problem "2020-07 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB4566517)" was fixed instantly! I presume that this is OK procedure and that I did not miss something... An again, this is a really thorough and most detailed procedure now, for some other MDL members that breaks their head of, how to solve this buggy MS .NET Framework issues in generally and within MS Win 7 ESU system... Good luck to all!
What is the correct way to completely uninstall V5 from a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition and to install V7?
OK so it is normal I do not get option 1 as described? * Make sure to install the prerequisite updates (reboot if required) * right-click on LiveOS-Setup.cmd and "Run as administrator" * from the menu, press the corresponding number for the desired option: [1] Full Installation {ESU Suppressor + WU ESU Patcher + .NET 4 ESU Bypass} most recommended option [2] Install ESU Suppressor mainly for security-only updates users, whom don't need the Monthly Rollup through WU [3] Install WU ESU Patcher this only allow to offer ESU updates via WU [7] Install .NET 4 ESU Bypass this allow to install NDP4 ESU updates (manually or via WU)
OK thx. I am currently restoring my image from the June update so I can give it another try. This is on a physical machine. I tried to do the same thing on an exact VM setup and there it worked flawlessly. I'll let you know the outcome.
I can verify on my system - Windows 7 x 64 Pro - that after uninstalling ESUv4 and installing ESUv7 and disabling Avast, I can install the NET 4.8; where as previously I could not with Avast enabled. ESUv4 would not install NET 4.8 under any circumstance. Thanks to all.
The 4th one worked, but I don't know how to install it. Wasn't I supposed to have to use a password 2020 somewhere to download this? It's not a live-OS like v5 that I installed.
Here is some guidance + the info at the OP: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dates-eligibility.80606/page-162#post-1597180
Sorry, but I'm confused about what exactly I'm supposed to do with the v7 file I just downloaded. When I double click on it, it asks me what program to use to open it---what program?
OK thanks I got it to open. But it gives only 3 options: 4. remove WU ESU patcher 7. install .net esu bypass 9. exit
The reason I'm asking is because KB4566517 keeps failing to install. I'm retrying it now that I've installed the .net bypass. Thanks.
