KB929729

I use Windows Vista Basic.

One a week, I go to Windows Update and download all updates, including
optional updates.

On Monday, July 7, 2008, there was an update for Microsoft.NET Framework
1.1. Service Pack 1 (KB929729).

The update has repeatedly failed to download and/or update.

When booting up as well as while running any windows-based program, I now
receive the following error messages:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\fusio n.dll

and

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v.1.1.4322\msco rsn.dll

Earlier posts suggested using the removal tool. I tried that and the removal
process failed. I'm wondering if it's a problem on Microsoft's end because I
only have Windows Vista Basic and not the more advanced versions? Could it be
possible that when this update was written, it was not meant to work with
Basic?

Up to this point, from late November 2007, I have not had any problems
updating Windows. Frankly, the computer has been working very well!

Any suggestions to resolve the problem are appreciated.

Thank you.

1. Write down what .NET Framework versions are already installed before you
go uninstalling/removing any of them!

How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed and
whether service packs have been applied

2. Now see Resolutions Methods 1 or 2 in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 (ignore the title).
