I don’t know the answer. You can try it and it might be slow. Or you can try the fix first as a precaution.

My understanding is KB3097992 will include changes introduced in KB3097966
I am upgrading to CU15 on windows 2012 R2, thanks in advance

I tried clicking ‘next’, Tab and hit [Enter] on ‘next, run as Administrator on Setup.exe and Event Viewer didn’t detail anything reason for the anomaly.

Running the installer via cmd, elevated as Administrator provided a status on the components being upgraded;

setup.exe /m:Upgrade /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Hope this helps others

Tried ngen.exe update – got -1 at the end. Proceeded with the install anyway.

One of two servers updated, started at 10 am, finished just past 2 in the morning! Looking in the log it was ngen errors constantly. Just doing server number 2. Servers are high spec, E5-2660v3, 16GB of RAM, storage on SSDs etc. I think ngen is single thread only which could be why it took so long.

This is ridiculous Microsoft, thankfully we don’t have live users yet, but I dread any upgrades moving forward. Is there another workaround? Removing KB3097966 for the duration of the install may be a much better option for those who need to upgrade within a certain time window. I may test this.

We are running framework 4.0.30319 and the CU1 upgrade for one server took 3.5 hours

You’d be uninstalling a security update, which doesn’t seem like a wise move to me.

I replaced it easily enough.

Thanks for the article!

Q1: What if after running ‘%windir%microsoft.netframeworkv4.0.30319ngen.exe update’ status code is ‘-1’?
Q2: Do we need to run ‘%windir%microsoft.netframework64v4.0.30319ngen.exe update’ on x64 servers? (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2570538)
