    # BypassESU v10

    - Implemented new safe .NET 4 ESU Bypass (system restart is required to take effect)

    - Prerequisite updates are now Recommended updates (you can install the bypass first without them)

    - Option "[1] Full Installation" will be shown regardless of ESU Suppressor state
    i.e.
    if you already have the Suppressor installed, but not both WU Patcher & .NET 4 Bypass, it will be shown (Suppressor installation will be skipped)

    Note:
    to update from v9 to v10, you only need to run option [7] then reboot

    Is the thinking that this version may not need to be uninstalled between uses or won't know until people try it out?

    As always, thank you VERY much for your time and expertise!

    Removal of the .net 4 bypass, after using it, should not be needed anymore.

    ye but, does this means v9 will no longer work for future updates?
    or is this v10 just a "bug fix" of some kind?

    sry if this is annoying, just curious really ;p

    V9 works fine, only the .net 4 bypass could cause msiexec.exe errors. In v10 it shouldn't.

    Good. Your CBS folder is in good shape. No issues there!

    In the winsxs folder, there is a subfolder called TEMP. NEVER DELETE ANYTHING IN THE WINSXS FOLDER OR IN ANY OF ITS SUBFOLDERS! Doing so will brick your Windows installation.

    Yet we do need to make Windows itself perform what is called a DISM Scavenge in order to properly clear out this TEMP folder. I am writing a batch file which will do this, so that there is no chance of you making a mistake and damaging your Windows installation.

    From what I understand, v9 is still good to go for the time being.

    I will test the latest and greatest v10 this coming weekend.

    Thanks very much again. Checked the winsxs folder. It is huge: 15,6 GB, 89.000 files in 22.000 folders !!!
    Takes explorer several minuetes to display it all !!
    A lot of amd64... folders, msil... folders, wow64... folders, x86... folders. Also the temp folder, with 2 subfolders: pending deletes and
    peding renames. All of these empty !! All this seems very stange to me, why the enormous number of files in winsxs ?
    Could this be the cause of my boot-delays ? When expolrer spends several minuetes going through this, could not this also affect the boot ?
    Looking forward to hearing form you.

    What are you trying to achieve? Boot.wim to install the bypass?

    Is it necessary to update the BypassESU for Server 2008? It's been a while since v5 was released.
