or "Update is not applicable to your computer" for NET Framework 4.7.1 on Server Core installation Windows Server 2016
Trying to update net framework to 4.7.1 on a Server Core installation but no dice. The installation starts to extract the files for the setup, runs the setup.exe /x86 /x64 /redis flashes the .NET logo and shows the license terms windows to continue. Accepts and clicks install and the installation just disappears without further explanation.
The problem exists on another server - identical source and installation. But it works on a identical source and installation but with Desktop Experience.
Looking at the log file...

Looking in the CBS.log file. But nothing indicating why the installation doesn't go through.
Copying the extracted files to a new path while the installation package has not stopped - running: wusa.exe Windows6.1-KB4019990-x64.msu
Finally something to work with, it shows: The update is not applicable to your computer
Looking at all requirements from Microsoft doesn't explicit state the Framework 4.7.1 is not supported on Server Core.
So would appreciate all theories or ideas on how to troubleshoot this for a solution ?
