failure to install updates

Ok, I have read many posts that complain about automatic updates downloading
updates but failing to install them. After spending hours going though
microsofts help files i found something that fixes the problem, being that i
had the same problem myself. A little incentive there anyways the
article doesnt address the problem directly but do the steps and automatic
updates will funcion like it should again.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/910359

hope this helps

Bulldog, any chance the below noted steps could help fix the .Net Framework
1.1 installation problem that many ms customers (incl. myself) have been
experiencing......no doubt you have seen(KB928366) problems!
Many thanks,
chappy

MVP Patrick Philippot has previously posted a method to resolve the
installation issue of KB928366 :

>>
>> 1. Instead of using Windows Update, download the KB928366 package from here:
>> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
>> Do not install yet.
>>
>> 2. Download the .Net framework 1.1 redistributable package from here
>> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...7-034d1e7cf3a3
>>
>> 3. Use Winzip or a similar utility to unpack dotnetfx.exe in a folder of
>> your choice. You should get the following files:
>> netfx.msi
>> install.exe
>> InstMsi.exe
>> InstMsiW.exe
>> netfx1.cab
>>
>> 4. Launch the KB928366 installer. It will soon complain that it can't find the
>> installation CD-ROM (don't ask me why). Browse to the folder where you unpacked the
>> dotnetfx files.
>>
>> That's it.
>>
>> This procedure can be applied to any similar situation regarding .Net
>> framework updates. I'm using it since years (that is, since this Windows
>> Update bug exists).
>>
>> Good luck.
