Article ID: 2544514 - Update 4.0.2 for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 – Runtime Update

Update 4.0.2 for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is now available. This update contains some new features that are based on specific requests from some top customer and on some important .NET Framework scenarios. This update also contains some important software updates for ClickOnce and for .NET Framework 4-based Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications.
Notes

  • This update release updates only the runtime files for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. For more information about the details of this update, see the "More Information" section.
  • This update contains all the runtime changes from the following update:

    2478063 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2478063 / ) Update 4.0.1 for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 - Runtime Update

    Therefore, this update is a cumulative update. Any application built for the .NET Framework 4.01 can run on a computer that has the .NET Framework 4 and the Update 4.0.2 runtime installed. We recommend that applications built for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.1 be upgraded to the Update 4.0.2 runtime. However, this upgrade is optional.

  • We do not support any application that this update was used to build on any prerelease version of the .NET Framework 4 such as a Beta. Additionally, we recommend that any such application be upgraded to at least the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 RTM

...

Features that are introduced by this update

  • AlwaysOn support in SqlClient
  • SQL Server Express Local Database Runtime support in SqlClient
  • A new DbProviderFactories.GetFactory overload

Issues that this update resolves

Issue 1
Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a .NET Framework application that targets the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.1 or the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.1 Client Profile.
  • You publish the application.
  • You install the application. ClickOnce is used to install the application.
In this scenario, the installation fails, and you receive an error message that contains the following text:

Version 4.0.1 is required

Issue 2
Consider the following scenario:

  • You create a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application.
  • You set a window to be a child window of two windows.
In this scenario, WPF reports incorrect child-window dimensions.
Note After you install this update, WPF returns the correct dimensions of the child window.

...

I've got to say the .Net versioning story seems to be getting more and more confusing...
