It may be a pain for you, but that (and use of the clean-up utility) is the
only sort of fix that is known in this newsgroup.

The problem is not exclusively with the Microsoft update: it has installed
without problem on all the PCs that I look after, and I imagine that the
same is true of many millions of other users worldwide. Whatever is causing
this update to fail on your PC is not unrelated to the state of your PC, and
its history of .NET installation and updates. So the only known remedy is
for you to regularize the state of your PC by performing a clean-up and
reinstallation of the affected software.

Exact procedure I had to do was this.
Uninstall Microsoft .Net Frame 2 from your system
Run cleanup_tool.exe
(http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools...eanup_tool.zip)
Reboot computer
Install Microsoft .Net Frame 2 (download first and install from computer)
Install KB917283-X86 patch (download first and install from computer)
Reboot computer

I downloaded everything to my computer and put it in a folder first.

My guess is that not everyone has to run the cleanup tool but it should
guarantee a smooth implementation of the patch. I had 1-xp machine that had
no issues at all. I had another xp machine that required only the
reinstallation of .net Frame 2. My 3rd xp machine and w2k machine required
the cleanup tool to be used. I recommend you do it all.

Be nice, stop shouting, and take your medicine.
The fix has been posted numerous times. If you can't scan the headers first...
