    Great Job Clint! Explaining info and directions. In researching I only found the what to do, not cause and reason. Yours was the first I found that got me to understand.

    Installing it manually still did not work for me. It started, and immediately quit.

    I had 2 updates in a Hyper-V Guest. It worked for one of the updates but not for the second.

    When I run it for the second update I get "The update does not apply to your system" message.

    Thanks for the help.
