Just to add from a posting of MowGreen's -
I've dealt with .NET Security updates installation issues by using the
advice posted by the .NET guru, Aaron Stebner. Since I get paid for this
type of work, I can tell you that it is the fastest, least dangerous
method to getting this issue resolved -
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...30/611355.aspx
Aaron suggests one attempt uninstalling the .NET Frameworks via
Add/Remove Programs. If that does not work, then use the Automated
cleanup tool.
* NOTE *: Any software that requires a specific .NET Framework in order
for it to run should be shut down and Disabled from starting on a
reboot. This will eliminate error messages on the reboot and make it
facilitate Removing the affected .NET Framework via Add/Remove Programs.
After rebooting, run the Windows Installer Cleanup tool and follow the
steps laid out in the MSKB that PA Bear posted *IF* you could Remove the
...NET Frameworks via Add/Remove Programs:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100
IF the Automated cleanup tool was used because a .NET Framework could
not be Removed via ARP, then there is *no need* to run the Windows
Installer Cleanup tool.
Then redownload the .NET Frameworks that were uninstalled from the
Microsoft Download Center and SAVE them.
Input .NET Framework x in the Search field and click Go:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?
Recommend creating a folder for the .NET Frameworks on the root drive
[ the drive where Windows is installed to ], naming it DotNet, and
moving the downloaded runtimes and subsequent downloaded Security
updates/ Service Packs to that folder.
YMMV, but it's worked flawlessly for clients' systems for the past year.
Install the .NET Frameworks ONE at a time, restarting if requested to.
[ You will need to create a subfolder in the DotNet folder in order to
install both .NET 1.0 and 1.1 as the installer is the same name for both
runtimes ]
Reboot *each* time that you are requested to.
After all the desired runtimes are installed, go to the Windows or
Microsoft Update sites. After the site loads do a CUSTOM scan for needed
updates. Write down the KB numbers of the ones that are suggested AND---
* the order in which they are listed *
Then visit the Microsoft Update Catalog -
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx
Enter the KB article number in the Search box and click Search.
[ex: KB110806 ]
*Make sure* you download the correct runtime updates/service packs for
XP 32 bit [x86]. You can confirm this by checking for
Architecture: X86
on the Update Details page when you click on an update.
When you locate the correct ones, click the Add to Basket button for
each of them. Then click the Close button.
Enter the next KB number, repeat, lather, rinse <w>
Click the Go to Download basket link and then click the Download button.
Follow the prompts.
When you've downloaded them all, move them to the DotNet folder and
install them in the order they were listed on the Windows/Microsoft
Update sites. ALWAYS reboot if/when requested to.
