Must I have .NET Framework installed to have Windows Update work properly?

I removed all instances of .NET Framework. Today the update showed me
4 patches but it quit and never installed them. Going to the Windows
Update page showed the same un-installed files, I chose to d/l and
install them and all 4 failed!

Is this a product of removing .NET Framework?

Thank you

JT,

If the updates are being offered then .Net Framework is NOT uninstalled
properly. Go here -
