Hi!

As we've had multiple similar failures, I would like to wait a few days for the March update and then resume troubleshooting as it may be the case of a faulty update.

Thanks for your understanding.
 
As I said, both Microsoft and Dell failed to fix this Windows Update (WU) KB4487078 installation failure with Error Code 2. When I asked Dell for help, they charged me $129.00 because my Dell XPS 8300 was Out Of Warranty (OOW). Since they did not fix it, I received the $129.00 back. I fixed it myself by:

  1. Control Panel, under Programs, Uninstall a Program. In the list, "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2", Remove.
  2. Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1, Remove.
  3. Restart & Sign-in.
  4. Attempt WU KB4487078. Failed with Error Code 2.
  5. Received via Windows Update KB4054530, "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 for Windows 7-64".
  6. Unhide WU KB4487918 (09/11/2018) and install both KB4487918 & KB4054530 together simultaneously. Successfully installed both updates with no Error Code.
  7. Restart & Sign-in.
  8. Unhide WU KB4487078 and attempt to install. Successfully installed with no Error Code.
  9. Restart & Sign-in.

Question: Should I attempt to install the WU KB4487256 (see below) that was sent out by Microsoft one week after the original WU KB4487078 (Important. Published: 02/12/2019)?

2019-02 Preview of Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB4487256) (Optional. Published: 02/19/2019).
 
Guys,

is this issue particularly to your device or a general issue for KB4487078 on all devices.

I am going to install this update on all org devices by the SCCM? any suggestions?
 
Ahmad, someone else should probably answer your question, since I'm not really qualified. From my perspective, this only occurred on my Windows 7-64 Dell XPS 8300. My other devices run Windows 10-64. I need to update my most recent previous post regarding my solution/fix for Windows Update (WU) KB4487078. These numbers refer to my previous post and either insert or add to that post from 03/10/2019:

4A. Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off, "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1", Reinstall.
  1. Verified "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2" in Control Panel, under Programs, Uninstall a Program, has been added back to the list.
  2. Verified Registry Release key value 461814, which indicates 4.7.2 has been reinstalled in the Registry.
