• .NET Framework patch numbering screw-up?

    Message from JO:

    I have two .NET Framework updates pending on my Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64-bit computer.  KB3102433 – “Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 for Windows 7 for x64” published 2/9/2016 is a recommended update.  Being offered this update is understandable because the latest version of .NET Framework installed on my computer is 4.5.2, at least that is what is shown under programs on the control panel.  KB3179930 – “Reliability Rollup for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1 on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for x64” published 9/22/2016 is an optional update.  The information that Microsoft provides under the “More information” link references a different KB number (3179949) and makes no mention of .NET Framework 4.5.2.  In fact, the prerequisite is that .NET Framework 4.6 or 4.6.1 must be installed.
     
    I am in no hurry to install any of these.  Nevertheless, I am wondering whether KB3179930 is actually an update that is designed for .NET Framework 4.5.2 as advertised in the title of this update.

    Anybody know for sure?
