Hello,
does anyone has also problem with installation of KB977020 hotfix on 2008 R2?
The Windows6.1-KB977020-v2-x64.exe file says:
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
I tried to download also x86 and ia64 version just in case the links are messed up but none of them works.
Why the hell should we install update for .NET 2 when there is already patched 3.5 SP1? And even if I have to why it doesn't simply work? It was just a fresh installation, windows update, RTM installation and SP1 attempt (other prereqs intalled without problems)
Seriously guys, I hope heads are already falling, this rushed process is too much even for Microsoft's standards.
It just seems to me that you adopted to the fact that many of your customers are waiting for SP1 of any of you product before even considering its deployment. Looks like you now release SP1s as RTMs - with fixed deadline so you can have a good cash-flow, right?
Well tell those resposible execs we see through it and we don't like it. If quality of SP1s sucks those people waiting for deployment will just wait for SP2s and then what - you adopt and plan SP2s with deadline?
