POSReady 2009 updates ported to Windows XP SP3 ENU

[bluebolt]

Yeah, my mistake, I rubbed out 0.0.0 yesterday and presumably that's why this update showed up today.

[Dave-H]

So you uninstalled version 0.0.0 of the add-on, and were then offered version 1.0?
If so, I will try that, as version 0.0.0 is ancient, and I might as well grab a later version while it's still available!

[bluebolt]

Yes, using method 2 here:

I don't use any add-ons, but that net framework assistant has always been there (in red/disabled), so with the recent hullabaloo I decided to finally get rid of it.

[Dave-H]

Thanks, I followed that and was offered the update.
It's still version "0.0.0" though, I guess that's correct?

[bluebolt]

I guess so, as I was taken full circle back to where I started, with the .net framework assistant still listed/disabled in my add-ons.  I had assumed the add-on would be removed by this procedure.  One more step was needed:

“Go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Windows Presentation Foundation\DotNetAssistantExtension and delete everything in that folder but keep the folder name…Start Firefox. The add-on should not be in the list anymore.”

So now I am rid of it.

Because of .NET Framework 3.5 Assistant add-on for Firefox (KB963707) I have a suitable uninstaller where the update KB963707 is no longer available in WU / MU.

Thank you, when I turned on my computer this morning the yellow shield appeared, offering that update again.  I ran your uninstaller and rebooted, and now the offer is gone.

Speaking of .NET Framework, Microsoft is gonna release the new .NET Framework 5.0 on November 2020. They can't wait to drop Windows 7 and do to it what they have done to XP, I guess...

Has anyone tried this program to save all their updates automatically? http://www.portableupdate.com

Microsoft will have "dropped" Win7 in mid-January 2020, so, of course, they would find no justification for a new .NET FW release, 10 months after Win7's EoS, to have backwards compatibility with OSes they wouldn't service at that time ...  I'm just lazy to check, but I suspect .NET FW 5.0 to require Win8.1+...

Then again, Windows Embedded POSReady 7 EoS is on October 12, 2021...

Also 2023 when it comes to the extended ''paid'' updates for Professional and Enterprise. I hope that when they'll be released somebody might leak them, of course assuming that the update packages will not be tampered. (by verifying the signature/sum)

Fingers crossed for a hero to leak them.

I've had an Office 2010 update (which didn't break Office again thank goodness) so I guess that's it!
