Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.1 is not supported by Windows 7 and will not install. And if you try to install it in Windows 10 or Windows 11, an alert will tell you that it is already installed.
Supported Windows Versions (.NET Framework v4.8.1) Windows Client versions: Windows 11, Windows 10 version 21H2, Windows 10 version 21H1, Windows 10 version 20H2 Windows Server versions: Windows Server 2022
Because it, too, checks for ESU license. At least to January 2023, when ESU year 3 ends. ESU year 4 to 6 already appeared in the licenses, though.
If the ESU program is not extended for another three years, has anyone looked into Windows Embedded POSReady 7 updates possibly being installed until October of 2024?
Afaik BypassESU works with Windows Embedded POSReady 7. But you have to download and install the update packages manually, the auto updater will not work.
The following September patches installed perfectly: Kb5017397 Servicing Stack Kb5017361 Quality update Kb5017036 4.8 Net update So far running good, haven't noticed any problems or bugs yet.
For the very first time since the Bypass came out, I was unable to install one of the updates, namely the one for .NET framework 4.8 (Kb5017036). I got it through WU, but the install failed, as was the case when I tried to install it manually. I think it's important to mention that this only happened on one of my six Win 7 computers. Let me say here, I don't think the problem has anything to do withe the Bypass. I won't bore you with the details of the error messages. What I'd like to do at this point is simply uninstall .NET Framework 4.8 and reinstall it. On Win7 the process seems pretty straightforward, but apparently it can lead to bigger problems, and in some cases, it can't be reinstalled. I need it, though, to run a program called Mail Washer, which I use every day. Does anyone have any ideas or comments? Thank you.
Later versions of windows (8+) include the CLR 4 (.NET 4.x) as "Windows feature", which makes removing/reinstalling it messy or impossible, since parts of Windows require it. This is not true for Windows 7, which only includes CLR 2 (.NET 2.0-3.5) as a "Windows feature". You may have seen Windows 10-centric literature bring up this topic in their typical fashion of assuming every mention of the word "Windows" equals Windows 10. This kind of misinformation is widespread on blog sites and MSDN alike, so it is good to practice skepticism and scrutiny for any information that refers to "Windows" without mentioning version. .NET 4.x is completely optional on Windows 7. You can uninstall/repair/reinstall it at will as many times as you desire. Control Panel > Program and Features > Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 I'm a newbie user so I can't post links, but you can search for ".net framework 4.8 offline installer" or ".net framework repair tool" to help you.
