.net sp1 install failure-was this a valid update for Vista?

Just wondering if anyone has been able to verify that the problem update so
many of us have been having trouble with, .net 1.1 sp1, was actually a valid
update for Vista. It still seems a bit strange that a service pack that old
wasn't incorporated into the .net installation in Vista.

HI Engel,

Thanks for the reply. I did follow the earlier posts, and have completed
the manual install of SP1, subsequently Windows Update found that
installation and downloaded and installed the latest security update for SP1.
I suppose I shouldn't worry about it now, but I was really hoping for
someone to come back and verify that SP1 is indeed a valid update for Vista.
As I said, it just seems strange that we had such a hassle installing it, and
since it's so old it wasn't incorporated into Vista.

Anyway, thanks again for the reply!

Larry

(copy/pasted from my other post)

I had the same problem for several days, and posted to the thread with 70+
replies. I ignored it until today, when I followed someone's suggestion to
find the downloaded file and right-click and Run as Administrator (Vista). It
installed properly from there. However that was an old update (dated
2004)....and just 15
minutes ago I got another downloaded update for the same NET Framework 1.1,
but this time it was a new one dated today 11/30/2007. That one installed
successfully first try.

Fallstar,

I believe that would have been the security patch for the service pack,
(SP1), that we were having so much trouble with.
