If you demand that Microsoft to respond to your Windows Update issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/common/...h=1&gprid=6527
Microsoft generally refrains from posting to this group - instead users
may respond to other users with advice for self-help. Here's what I found:

If you installed security update MS05-004 prior to .net 1.1 sp1,
then installation of .net 1.1 sp1 won't complete. There's the fix, but
in the course of the fix, your computer is opened to attack. The KB says
for this problem *not* to install .net 1.1 sp1 unless you really have to.
Here is the .net 1.1 installation troubleshooter:

I found those links through the Update installation troubleshooter:
