After running my updated Exchange 2013 and 2016 scripts I noticed that .NET was tripping on itself during the install of either the prerequisites or post hotfixes. So, I decided to completely re-write those sections for .NET 4.6.1 and 4.6.2. I also cleared out .NET 4.5.2 as this one will be deprecated soon. Windows 2008 R2 support has also been removed from the 1.17 version of the Exchange 2013 script.
A separate script was created for Windows 2008 only (third link below). This will be updated until Windows 2008 R2 leaves extended support.

On Windows 2016:

The biggest change is present in the .NET 4.6.1 install for Windows 2012 R2. There are a lot of prerequisites that are now present as well as a post hotfix. this script fixes any and all issues that were present in previous versions:
As well recognizing that the hotfix for .NET 4.6.1 is missing:
