Found another solution to the .NET 1.1 SP install issue

None of the sulution I found here up previously has worked for me so I looked
over in the developer .NEt framework forum and came across this solution that
worked for me.

It appears that the .NET 1.1 SP installer tries to start or stop the W3SVC
service and is unable to do so. If you open the Services control panel, you
may see that the World Wide Web Publishing service is stuck in the "Starting"
state. I ran the command "IISRESET /stop" and after a couple of minutes the
service shut down. After this I was finally able install the .NET 1.1 SP.

BTW, I still haven't found out why the W3SVC does not start properly.

Hope this helps someone else.

Cheers,

-- Ian

This is the solution I used to resolve the .NET Framework 1.1 SP 1 update
issue:

1.) Restart your computer.
2.) After your computer is back up and running, press Start->Run...
3.) Type "iisreset /stop" and press OK.
4.) Wait for the command to finish.
5.) Run the Windows Update as you have before and apply all the available
critical updates.
6.) After your updates have been applied restart your computer again.

Hope this helps,

Just to follow up:

After restarting my computer, the World Wide Web Publishing service starting
working correctly. So I guess all my problems are solved for now.

Thanks Ian!

I was in the same situation and this worked perfectly. I would have never
figured that out.
