I am on w8.1-64 bit. today I downloaded and ran wsus Offline update.
I already have .net 3.5 and .net 4.5 installed, but it still went ahead and downloaded
dotnetfx35.exe 231.50 MB and .net 4.6 60 MB and .net 4.7.2 80 MB.
When 4.7.2 "includes" 4.6 why it downloaded 4.6?
In any case I already had 4.6 and 4.7.2 downloaded and kept in my pc. I had forgotten to update them so I was at 4.5
Had it asked for some confirmation before going ahead for these huge downloads, I would have realized and moved my backed up files to its client files, or would have installed them myself and then re-ran this software.
And it also downloaded deu version of .net whereas my pc has English. What is the point?
You are having same mentality as MS as you think users to be dumb and you are not giving users option to decide what they want you to do and what they don't need you to do. You would force your way of thinking on users.
You had exhausted my 1.4 GB quota for the day downloading all these useless things, and now I have to use other sim to run net.
I am sad.
Thanks.
