Well guys after 4 hours of messing with this I can tell you what worked for
me. With any luck it can guide you too.
1. Download Windows Install Clean-Up program at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290301 and install.
(You can find it in the programs section of your start menu after install)
2. Download .net framework 1.1 (file name dotnetfx.exe) at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en (dont install yet)
3. Download .net service pack 1 (file name NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe) a
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en (dont install yet)
4. Run Windows Clean-Up and remove the defective .net framework, Reboot.
5. Go to the start menu, then run. Type in "msconfig" and set it to
Diagnostic and then reboot to prevent other software from getting in the way
of the install.
Information from Peevee
I didn't applied previous line 5 why?
Couldn't install Run dotnet.exe for a fresch new .net install.
Without line 5 all went well
6. Run dotnetfx.exe for a fresh new .net install
7. Run NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe, it will prompt that its already
installed, do it anyways.
8. Go back to msconfig and set it back to normal, reboot.
9. Run the regular windows update thru website or automatic service.
It should now do the update that previously resulted in errors. Good luck!
