What is the context of that code in the logs?

Note that other context may be found with the decimal equivalent
of that hex value.

<cmd_output>
>net helpmsg 5100

Asia

And sometimes codes are bogus... ; )


Try a search? Note that once the download phase of an automated update
is done it is often helpful to look for help with install problems further afield
than this newsgroup, especially if the install problems persist when you try
to download the update and install it manually.

FWIW the following links were found with this search expression
on MS Live Search:

(0x13EC OR 5100 OR 13EC) framework install error site:microsoft.com

BTW the same search expression could be used on Google.

When this problem occurs, the installation returns error code 5100.
This code indicates that the installation could not be completed successfully.

This hit reminds me to tell you two things:
1. sometimes codes are so generic that they are almost useless,
even with their context, so look above the code's context for other codes
and more specific clues about what happened
2. you haven't disclosed your OS ; }

This one contains a solution for an XP Media Center owner
who happened to have an older unsupported version of the product installed.
E.g. instructions on how to identify that case and fix it were given by Vasudev MVP.

I was getting a similar error. When the initial 3.0 upgrade was released I
accessed it through Windows Update and it showed as being installed
correctly. When the patch came out it constantly failed when it tried to
update. Rather than uninstall the .NET Framework 3.0, I went to the
Microsoft Downloads page, downloaded the program, saved it to my desktop and
installed it from there without uninstalling the program. It can up with the
standard "Repair" or "Remove" option. I choose "Repair" and when it was done
I rebooted. I then went back to the Window Update and applied the patch. Go
figure. it worked flawlessly this time. The only thing I can figure is that
the initial software on the Windows update site is corrupt.

Check Add/Remove Programs to see if you have the WinFX Runtime Components 3.0
- Beta 2.
