Installer crashing with error code CLR20r3 when trying to apply UR2 or UR4

March 2, 2014 Posted by Anders Asp

A collegue of mine just ran into this error at a customer site. He was about to upgrade a SCSM 2012 SP1 environment to 2012 R2 but had to apply UR2/UR4 first, but when he tried to run the installer, he got an application crash with this error:

We tried various things to sort it out and after some unsuccessful attempts and a bit of searching the web, we found this forum thread:

Following the advices in the thread we eventually found a way to fix this – run Windows Update and apply the patches! As it turned out, this environment hadn’t been updated for nearly a year (!!) and after running Windows Update the installer worked as expected.
