Well, I managed to download .NET Framework 3.0, in lieu of 3.5 simply
DISCONNECTING non-stop, and though it (3.0) tells me that it has been
successfully downloaded and you can now disconnect from the internet",
"setup is proceeding to install it" etc., and not more than a few seconds
elapse before it tells me that "an error occured, all files are being removed
from the computer"...an icon is on the desktop, and I'm advised that when I
click on the install icon it will be installed...again, and again..ad nauseam.
3.5 SP-1 will not even complete downloading (56MB file, I believe), but gets
to maybe the 3 or 4MB point and starts all over again, never getting beyond
that, and not even offering to "put an icon on the desktop/saving what's been
downloaded so far, etc."
Now, for SOME reason, even my Media Center Edition 2005 refuses to
load...won't go beyond step 2 of the setup before "crashing" and freezing the
whole NINE YARDS.
HELP!...I've "fallen", and I can't get up!!!
