Installation Failure of Micorsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack

I've tried and tried to install this using the automatic update..It keeps
failing to install.

Do I need this?

if I do need it, can someone walk me through on how to properly install it.
getting a little tired of the error.

First, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 (ignore the title).

If no joy, see this recent post by my colleague MowGreen:
