XP SP3 blocks .NET security patches

<< < (3/3)

Lashiec:
OK, seems this is fixed. Automatic Updates offered me yesterday .NET 3.5 SP1 (a gigantic download, BTW), so apparently security patches for .NET are again being pushed through the update system.

tomos:
hmm,
I'm getting offered this even though I only seem to have NET3 installed - I also have NET2 Servicepack1 but no sign of NET2 itself - what a mess

Worthwhile installing 3.5 do you think?

btw, I never bothered with SP3 (just mention in case relevant)


For those of you that have to update your Windows Installer to 3.1 first, you'll find that here.

I notice version 4.5 is available.
This I know nothing about - do I need to   :tellme: ??

Lashiec:
I guess so. The next major version of Paint.NET will require it, so I would need to install it sooner or later. I rarely pause to think about installing updates or not, apart from reading the notes regarding possible issues, anyway :)

Lashiec:
One thing I forgot to comment is that .NET 3.5 SP1 slips an extension in Firefox without asking. Just for you to be in the know.
