Cannot install either KB951808 or KB946691

Problem: I am unable to install .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5. Answers that I
have found to my problem indicate that I must install all Windows
updates first. However, I am unable to do that because KB951808 or
KB946691 will not install, and I don't even have Office software
installed.

I am running Windows XP Home Edition, SP3 with OpenOffice as my word
processor. I have searched high and low. Is the fact that I installed
SP3 the problem.

My ultimate goal is to run Microsoft Expressions Web 2. Please send
any suggestions to my email address:

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.
