Ok, guys, thanks for test, i will make mst today for vc2008 to shut WU. @RicaNeaga tell me on what OS you tested? my finding that Windows 7 32-bit ultimate not requre KB2538243, but i still not tested on XP. And i tested along with Net4 maybe that why wu not show anything. So today i will try to find soulution, if not burfadel has already solution.
I have all the required registry entries and it still shows on M$ update, so, detection is broken. I just hide it. All together 6 updates total encompassing Win7x64, Office 2010 and .NET 4 and vc runtimes show on M$ Update after installing all the latest from SoLoR and Burfadel.
I have some problems using my own script installing .netframework 4 msp files. I always worked but does not work anymore correctly because many hotfixes are skipped and do not install. Maybe you can help me? for /F %%i in ('dir /b /o:n NDP40-KB9*.msp') do ( echo Update: %%i %%i /passive /norestart ) for /F %%i in ('dir /b /o:n NDP40-KB2*.msp') do ( echo Update: %%i %%i /passive /norestart )
Try installing NDP40-KB2468871.msp first... then NDP40-KB2518870.msp & NDP40-KB2533523.msp followed by the rest.
I just installed only vc runtimes on clean+solor updates Home Premium x86, WU still show nothing. I don't know what is different from yours. EDIT: I will try now on x64 system.
Hmmm, it perfectly worked. Thanks a lot for it. But now I'm curious as to know why it has to be installed according to your description? Why this installtion sequence? Thanks in advance.
Updates for .NET framework used to be released with two .msp files, one with the KB article, and one with a number that escapes be at the moment. The second update was fairly small, and it looked empty if you opened it in 7-zip (unlike other .msp files). I believe it might have been a fix so that update for .NET install properly. Updates post KB2468871 don't have that second update, suggesting whatever it fixed is also fixed with KB2468871. KB2468871 is a 'kind of like' a service pack for .NET framework. When installing Windows updates, you don't install post sp1 updates before installing SP1, so why do the same with .NET Framework? The other two update suggestions are because they two are basic 'base' updates.
Just tested your latest VC runtimes on a clean win7 sp1 x64 + solor's update + net 4.0 client & WU shows KB2538243 is needed.
Actually I see the problem! ricktendo did not add the vcredist x86 and x64 info. The WU check for both of those is different. Also on a x64 system, the x64 VCredist info is stored in the normal location. On a x86 system, the x86 info is stored in the normal location. On a x64 system the x86 info is stored in to Wow6432Node section. The transform doesn't include the correct variation between x86 and x64, resulting in WU showing the update. The update is different sizes depending on what VC runtiems you need to install.
