• Addon for integrating updated .NET 4.8/4.7.2 package into offline install.wim images as pre-installed.

• The addon is simply .7z file with .WA extension.

• Mainly to be used with Wintoolkit, but can also be used with Simplix UpdatePack7R2.

• The addon will conflict with some Windows Updates (.NET 3.5 Family), so leave the addon's integration to the last.

• To function properly, .NET 4.8/4.7.2 require D3DCompiler_47.dll component, which is found in either the current "Monthly Quality Rollup" or "update KB4019990". It is recommended to integrate it first, or you can install it later.
