static dotnet patches

[cecinit]

When setting up custom dotnet patch downloads, what patches belong in which directories?

The 8.0 static downloads sets up this file:
StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet.txt
containing:

Code: Select all

http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/4/1/641D746E-7417-46EF-8E02-CD044649931C/dotNetFx40LP_Full_x86_x64de.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/a/4/ba4a7e71-2906-4b2d-a0e1-80cf16844f5f/dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/0/0/40098B30-0BF6-4AF7-AAF3-EC6CCF4FE737/dotNetFx45LP_Full_x86_x64de.exe

(I see those German language versions in there - I'm going to delete those.)

I need some other .net patches, & I am confused what belongs where.
8.0 sets up this:
StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x64-glb.txt containing

Code: Select all

http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/7/2/d728b7b9-454b-4b57-8270-45dac441b0ec/dotnetfx35langpack_x64de.exe

(Another German language version we wouldn't need)

Likewise with this
StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x86-glb.txt (same patch but for this arch)

It looks like StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet.txt is for multiple (x86/x64) architecture
patch sets, & the <arch>-glb.txt files are for the respective Intel archs - is that correct?
What happens if I put the custom static patches in the wrong file?
Presumably it's ok to delete the German lang packs.

Thanks for any advice, ==mwh

Removing the German patches is ok, but when you put the patches into the wrong file, they will be downloaded to the wrong dictinary and Update Installer won't find them.

glb means all languages
X86/64 is 32bit / 64bit
Thats all

The StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet.txt is for the main installers and language packs only.
StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x64-glb.txt is for all language (global) and 64bit architecture (x86 is 32bit). Meant for additional static patches.
