After biting the bullet and deciding to get ALL 'critical
updates' including sp2 (which I installed via a disk) I
spent over an hour downloading the .net framework update
(which as a 'advanced every day user - non techie) I
always thought was a developer tool, like vb, anyway,
obviously not!
I have spent the last four or five hours trying to find a
SOLUTION to this issue, which is almost as annoying as the
fact that there is no WARNING (at LEAST) on the windows
update site to NOT install this or something! Took over
an hour to download it, now four or five hours trying to
fix it, searching the MSDN newsgroups, finally coming
here, and then again hearing a DIFFERENT 'solution'
(download something ELSE, no. nononononono. I have
already got this useless update on my pc, another stack of
mb's GONE or useless, sp2 cost me 1.2gb, etc etc etc.
Ridiculous. Especially for 'home users' who are just
TRYING to do GOOD MAINTENANCE. AS TOUTED!
..
oh! and I WOULD have put a post on the MSDN newsgroup
which is really MORE relevant than this (as at least you
can be more confident those in the '.net
framework' 'section' might READ posts there, but I had to
sign IN with my passport just to post. No way. Come on.
Jeez. I really DO like microsoft but things are getting
MESSY!
..
a FINAL note, I downloaded the GDI (sp?) detection tool
too, THAT told me I needed to update 'one note'. As it
was preinstalled on my machine, I need the disk. An on it
goes, messy, messy, messy. Yes I DO have the 'fancy
sticker' to prove I 'own' it. I just don't have the
disk. So the sticker is a little useless isn't it!
..

..
the above is my curt response/reply to reading a 'one
solution to net framework etc' post.... posting the above
as a new thread to help any other poor lost users out
there like I was till I decided to give up in disgust.
