update.InstallationBehavior.Impact returns 0 for KB951847 (.NET 3.

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family
Update (KB951847) x64 is supposed to be installed "exclusively" but when I
run a manual scan using WUA APIs (on Win2k8 64-bit) then "Impact" value
returned is 0. Not sure what is going on here .. should I be checking some
other flag for "exclusive" patch install? It seems to work fine for KB955430
and KB948465.

/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------/
' Normal = 0
' Minor = 1
' Exclusive = 2
MissingUpdates.Write I + 1 & "> EXCLUSIVE: " &
update.InstallationBehavior.Impact & chr(10)
WScript.echo update.InstallationBehavior.Impact

output ==> 0 (for KB951847)
output ==> 2 (for KB955430)
output ==> 2 (for KB948465)
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Thanks in advance for any tips.

You're using an *old* package . . .

You should be using "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET
Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847)
x64", which has a relaese date of October 16, 2009. The previous packages
were released in February, 2009, and June, 2009. The October, 2009, packages
are marked for exclusive install.

I am not using wsusscn2.cab file for scan ... it connects directly to
internet to get the recommendations. Infact this is what I get for .NET on
my system:

TITLE: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5
Family Update (KB951847) x64
IDENTITY: 4ef5e48b-e24a-4df2-8824-bc0da223d376
REVISION: 101
SEVERITY: Unspecified
USER_INPUT: False
REBOOT: 2
EXCLUSIVE: 0

Infact, I tried using latest cab file to try offline scan but the results
were same - exclusive was not flagged for the same patch. I wonder if the old
defn are cached somewhere.
