Thanks abbodi1406 and co for this fantastic tool. The WU bypass worked perfectly for me. However, I noticed an issue with the .NET 4 bypass in BypassESU-v11. I have some CS6 applications installed on my machines, including Photoshop. When the .NET 4 bypass is active, the 64 bit version of Photoshop is unable to start. Before the splash even shows, it gives a cryptic "The system cannot find the file specified" error message and immediately terminates. With windbg and procmon and I can see that 64 bit Photoshop loads its 64 bit AdobeLinguistic.dll immediately before it throws the error, but that's it. No other clues. Interestingly, only 64 bit Photoshop is affected. The 32 bit version of Photoshop with its 32 bit AdobeLinguistic.dll runs just fine when the .NET 4 bypass is enabled. Simply disabling the .NET 4 bypass resolves the issue and 64 bit Photoshop is able to run correctly again (no restart needed). I know it has been reported that the .NET 4 bypass causes issues with msiexec. Perhaps this issue with Photoshop CS6 64 bit is related? I also apologize if someone else has already reported this. This 311 page thread is just too long to read in its entirety.
@zyoops It is already replaced with 2022-02 Monthly Rollup, but Microsoft forgot to update the metadata you can hide it --- @FuzzleSnuz .NET 4 bypass in BypassESU-v9 cause issues with msiexec .NET 4 bypass in BypassESU-v11 cause issue with some (or many) programs that have internal manifest, but still require external manifest this is effect of PreferExternalManifest registry value so the safe route is to remove .NET 4 bypass after installing .NET 4.x updates
4th year ESU only for Windows Server VMs running in Azure, sorry. You won't get them on Win7 at your home.
After this months update KB5010458 (I think involving NET Framework) there is created a folder (b3096d19790240a87cee58e6) of other folders (1025, etc.), xml, dll's,etc. which I don't recall getting before. Is this needed or safe to delete it? Thanks
Security Intelligence Update for Windows Defender Antivirus - KB915597 (Version 1.359.512.0) Just show up
Once again. no problems updating (manually) my Win 7 (x64) with ESU Bypass. Eternally grateful to Abbodi1406 and his amigos.
Mmm... I have problems today with the installation of the .NET 4.8 updates. KB5010581 + KB4503548 will not install. BypassESU-v11 with .NET 4 bypass is activated. How you can see in the image file, I made several attempts... What can I do? Thank you! PS: the uninstall process of .NET Framework 4.8 by Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features also failed :-(
I'm experiencing this same exact issue, and not knowing if related with the updater, posted this morning in the Windows 7 forum. I ran through your described steps and using your CMD line script was able to remove all .NET from my desktop. After restart got the pop up saying that "this program requires .NET, so then tried a reinstall of 4.8 only to again have that fail.
Thanks abbodi for your effort and your tools! They have always worked until now. I tried the command line Code: NDP48-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /q /x86 /x64 /norestart /skipenucheck /keepaupaused /repair /chainingpackage explorer.exe but... the Windows event viewer shows me the following error: Spoiler: Error Produkt: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 - Update "KB5010457" konnte nicht installiert werden.
