So as folks may by now know there was an “issue” with the .Net update for May, Abbodi86 has posted a solution but there was another [not sure if posted] which is easy and worked for me.

Here’s how to successfully install the infamous .NET May Update:
1. Download this:

2. Create a shortcut of the executable.
3. Right click on the shortcut and go to Properties.
4. On the Target box, add this: /msioptions “ESU_LOCK=2D40812E-974C-4EA2-8DCC-63C992D505B9” (make sure to add a space before adding it)
5. Click Apply and OK.
6. Run the shortcut and proceed with the installation.
On the “Properties Box” of the right clicked shortcut, make sure you add the /msioptions, etc line from number 4. after the .exe that is already in the box [dont overwrite the lot].
Cheers…
