[SOLVED] server 2019 DotNet updates won't install

[lennertholmbergkarnov]

In continuation of this thread: server 2019 rollback everytime it's patched we are facing the problem of DotNet updates not installing

When running the installers for 2024-02 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.7.2 and 4.8 for Windows Server 2019 for x64 (KB5034683), (2 install msu packages ) they both return with "update was not installed" and no further errors

I've ran DISM and sfc as described, and also tried windows update troubleshooter, and though it finds and fixes error, the installations still fails

Follow these instructions to remove an update.

• Open the Start menu of Windows and type the command CMD
• When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
• When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, then press enter.

wusa /uninstall /KB:5031010

• Let me know if it says it was successful or you get the message: The update KB5031010 is not installed on this computer.

It uninstalls the update, and returns no message at all after uninstalling

Try to install KB5034683 again and post the result, if it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

after installing KB5031010, the KB5034683 installs nicely and there are no longer any missing updates.

Thank you so much for the help
