Hi Gus, I am willing to test it for you.

Hi @mbartosh, I sent you a private message.
Thank you, Gus.

I did get an exit code 87 on one of the updates. I have not seen that one before.

Error 87 is a standard error message from Windows Installer. The actual message string is ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. This simply means that an invalid parameter was passed to the installer. This can happen if an unknown parameter ( AKA command line argument) is passed to the installer.Apr 9, 2021

The updated fixlet still didn’t release until now? I need to install CCU on 24H2 manually for these two months…

I recently stood up 3 Windows 2025 Servers. Two with desktop and one as Core.
I’ve been trying to patch the Core server up to date with December and January cumulative and it always fails.
I took inspiration from the February Cumulative, and added the second prefetch, etc… Still failed.

With the new February fixlet though, it went through fine the first time.

I have 1 2022 server that is also Core and has been failing for months. I’ll give this method a try over there and see if it resolve it as well.
