    The .NET 3.5 SP1 and 4.6.2 won't install without the Bypass as I have posted screenshots of both. Both the 3.5 SP1 and 4.6.2 files are .exe files. Only the 2.0-3.0 is a .MSU file.

    I have no issue using the Repacks, that's what I plan to use for any fresh (not VM) installs I do later. But for others who don't want to use the repacks the Bypass will be needed. If Captain doesn't want to include the Bypass then I suggest links to the repacks should be included in the OP. Saves people posting questions like "Why won't the 3.5 or 4.6.2 updates install?" later, but I'll leave that up to Captain to decide.

    From what I can determine, there doesn't appear to be any update for June 2024 "patch Tuesday" for Microsoft .NET Framework.
    Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

    There's a new Servicing Stack Update (KB5039341), so a change has been made to step #16 of the guide.

    Windows Server 2008 running on Hyper-V cannot boot after installed 2024-06 cumulate updates or 2024-03, 2024-04, 2024-05 cumulate updates, but Windows Server 2008 on VMWare can boot successfully, I don't know why. Is this caused by the Update's or other issue?

    When I do a clean install of Windows Vista SP2 64-bit, I do it in the normal manner.
    I don't install it in virtual machine(VM) mode, as most here appear to do.
    It's my guess that's why I don't experience some of the issues they do, and vice versa.
    It would be impossible for me to make changes to the guide that everyone would agree on, so it'll stay with its current steps for now.

    These are the updates that Windows Update detected and installed in my Dell Precision M6700 laptop today which was already up-to-date to May 2024:

    I always wondered why the official installer was so large! :D Could never work out why it was so bloated compared to all the other installers.

    These are the installers I have used in the past and on VMs with a batch script I made to install them all in one go. But I'll definitely use the repacks going forward,

    Yep, I noticed that none of the Windows versions had a NET Framework update for June 2024.
