RE: INSTALLATION FAILURE FOR SECURITY UPDATE FOR M.NET FRAMEWORK

I did as directed for Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework,
Version 2.0 (KB917283) and this did not work. Any other suggestions?


"Go into control panel-Add/remove programs-Click Net
Version 2.0-Click Change and a repair option appears-repair/restart and
download will install"

Download the "dotnetfx_cleanup_tool", Run it, and use the spin box to remove Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0. Leave version 1 alone. After it uninstalls and reboots, go to Windows Update
and it will show that Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 needs to be installed. After that, the
update for it (KB917283) will install correctly. Another pain in the ass from Microsoft. You
would think the error message would TELL you that 2.0 is not working right...

BEWARE! The file recommended by "Unk" eliminated my installation of Windows
Live OneCare and froze my firewall to the "off" setting.
