Product: Microsoft .NET Framework (English) -- Installation failed

Hello:
I've been getting the below error message when trying to apply the Microsoft
..NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3, English Version security update.

Unfortunately I can't find any other error information other than this
message which comes from the event log. Any idea on what it is or how I can
narrow down the problem ? I also can't uninstall the Microsoft .NET Framework
(English) v1.0.3705 from add/remove programs. It fails with a popup
"Microsoft .NET Framework Setup has failed. If this continues please contact
product support".
Thanks!
