I did a small test on an active ESU system where I had a .NET offer from WU that showed somewhat over 68MB. I assume the size was for both the 3.5.1 and 4.8 updates. I manually installed windows6.1-kb4565612-v2-x64.msu. Searching WU again it still offerred me KB4566517 except the size was now 38.7MB which I'm thinking is now only the 4.8 update. I ran your Setup_NDP48.cmd with the newly created .msi without errors and WU is satisfied and no more .NET offered. Great, I can continue using the slim installer as you said. So, there's no ESU checking when using an .msi - is that correct?
By using Setup_NDP48.cmd, It makes it easier to update w/out manually uninstalling the old .net 4.8 update pack. Just run the Setup_NDP48.cmd along w/ the current Net4.8 slimmer pack. It also eliminate .net esu checking.
I only use the slimmer pack with the latest update on fresh installs during SetipComplete where there is no old .NET48 to uninstall. For anything new online, I could use the cmd with msi or .NET Bypass with WU
July Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows has installed successfully. However, 2020-07 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework has failed with Error code 80073712. I am running Windows 7 Professional x64., don't use an anti-virus, and have BypassESU v7 AIO installed. Any idea what went wrong? Reading through the posts, I can see some people also have problems with .NET update but with a different error. TIA
so it seems that MS somehow f**ked the .net update up, when even people with legal ESU licenses are encountering errors trying to install it.. -andy-
Just wanted to report back that this worked like a charm!! Thank you again so much for all your hard work!!
I installed the updates up till now and I was wondering if it was possible for them to break my connection to my printer and make my computers not discoverable under Homegroup? *Edit: Tried to run through set up and it can't find the printer on the network I recall on my Win7 Ultimate installation I needed to mess with a dll file that got corrupted and wouldn't let me make home groups but I don't remember which one that was... or even if it'll resolve the networking issue *Edit 2: reset some networking settings and got it to clear up.
please someone pin this so people see it at first time and not asking the same net problem every time.thats the solution and it works like a charm.
