.Net Frameware 1.1 SP1

i am trying to download and install .net frameware 1.1 SP1 from Windows
update page. it keeps saying that i have to install the update. when ever i
try to install the update, nothing happens. i get the download screen and it
just sits there. the computer does not freeze or lock up. it can sit all
night and after 8 hours, still nothing. what did bill gates forget to do on
this?

I've had this problem too....an answer or pointer to a faq would be great

Just so you know you are not alone I have raise this in different guises as
on my PC I had to end task to closedown. This has now blocked any other
windows update or other application installs using Windows installer
