Waiting until February 2024 "patch Tuesday" was my original plan. But I decided to ask today because I have another use for my 3rd generation Dell Precision M6700 laptop. And if I don't have to wait another month, I can move on to my next use for it.
January 2024 patch Tuesday: (Windows Vista SP2 64-bit was already up to date to December 2023): Windows Update automatically detected and displayed and installed this update: KB5034173 January 2024 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2008 64-bit (reboot) This update was manually installed afterwards with the use of the required batch script: KB5034120 January 2024 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 64-bit Note: This updated it from version 9.0.310 to 9.0.315. (reboot) This update was manually installed afterwards: KB5033907 January 2024 Security And Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 4.6.2 for Windows Server 2008 64-bit (reboot) The guide in the original post has been updated to reflect changes to step #18.
January 2024 Security And Quality Rollup for .NET Framework cannot install, maybe a new bypass needed
The NET Framework 4.6.2 update that Windows Update detected wouldn't install for some reason. That's why I selected and manually installed the KB5033907 update.
ndp35sp1-kb5034008 ESUEngine.dll check for Server 2008 ESU keys The .NET 4 Bypass in BypassESU-v7-WS2008 only fake Win7 POSReady (because it's the same) i'll update the bypass soon who would expect .NET 3.5 to get an update after all those years
The NET Framework 4.6.2 update that Windows Update detected can be installed by dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer_u manually.
My assumption was wrong ndp35sp1-kb5034008 ESUEngine.dll is the same as ndp47-kb5033907, and should accept the fake POSReady bypass so the failure is caused by something else @windowsnt60 can you share the KB5034008 log file from %Temp%?
