Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update KB953297 Fails to install

Windows XP Home
Service Pack 3

All other updates released this date installed fine with the exception of
KB953297. Another home computer installed this update with no problem. The
only difference I can find is that the computer where the install failed had
..NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix KB928366 installed. The article
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953297) states that this recent update
"supersedes" the hotfix. I tried to uninstall the hotfix but that lead to
another problem where it could not find the "netfx.msi" file to continue.
So I stopped that hoping to find another answer here. Any thoughts on what
I should do?

Hi Shawn,

I believe if you go to MS Downloads and download the manual installer for
KB953297, you can open it and extract the "netfx.msi" file -- the installer
is a self-extracting zipfile, so you need WinRAR or WinZip or similar
utility to open it and extract the "netfx.msi" file .. HTH and good luck ..

Translation: If you had *not* installed KB928366 and you install KB953297,
you do not need to install KB928366.

Thanks for the replies. After attempting several of the fixes mentioned in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824643, all unsuccessful, I re-installed
version 1.1 and then the new update installed fine.

I had the same problem, all 100pc's on the network were failing (due, I
think, to previously installed Visual Studio .Net apps, which updated dot
net). It appears that the installer is referencing a registry key to find
the location of the netfx.msi file. When it fails to find the file it
errors out.

I grabbed the dotnetfx.exe file from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en,
opened it with WinRAR (or use any comprssion program) and extracted the
netfx.msi to our network. I then entered the network location into the
registry key
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\DDE7F2BCF1D91 C3409CFF425AE1E271A\SourceList\Net]
"1"=hex(2):<long hex string you will need to change to your netfx.msi
location>

Then I re-ran the updates and it installed fine.

Hope this helps someone,

Hi Shawn: Had same problem.... Solution--Uninstall .Net Framework 1.1 from
add/remove programs.This automatically removes an earlier hotfix which i
think is causing the problem.Restart computer and go to windows update as
normal and check for updates.If all is well you will reinstall .Net Framework
1.1 and the problem update KB953297 successfully. This worked on both my
laptops but for some reason i had to try 2 times before the update KB953297
successfully installed on one of mylaptops. Good luck.. Scott.

I am having the same problem. Found a post for an earlier solution for
Windows XP and Windows 2000. Just type in KB953297 64c and it should come up.

Hi Shawn: Had same problem...What i did was to uninstall the .Net Framework
1.1 programme from add/remove programmes.This also appears to remove an
earlier hotfix which may be causing the problem. Restart as normal then go to
update site and check for new updates..which will include the .Net Framework
1.1 and KB953297 which should install with no probs. I did this on both my
laptops and worked except i had to try twice with the KB953297 update on one
of them but it did solve the problem.. Hope it works for you ... Scott.

My experience was to use the Framework Cleanup Tool to remove all versions of
Framework. Then using MS Update custom, added versions from lowest to most
recent one restart at a time. All Framework versions and updates installed
successfully.

Just to mention, uninstalling all Framework versions caused a problem with
Roxio 2009 install, so had to uninstall Roxio and reinstall after the
Framework installs.

Yeh... seems if there's an update failure, it's alway seems to be .Net
Framework.
