A problem....
The patches supplied for download with respect to urgent DNS vulnerability, on Windows Server 2008 R2
KB4565524
KB2565539
cannot be installed as they stand on that platform.
They require that the Windows Module Installer must be updated:
"The Windows Modules Installer must be updated before you can install this package"
The error message references this page:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/925316/error-message-when-you-install-a-msu-update-package-on-a-computer-that
Which points to KB955430 for Server 2008 - which unsurprisingly is ’not applicable’ to the platform,
and points to KB2533552 for Server 2008 R2 - which seems to be a completely unrelated patch, which is ’already installed’
Therefore, how do I install this essential patch on our remaining instance of Windows Server 2008 R2?
