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.
