Re: NET Framework 1.1 Update Failure

I had a similiar problem I was only able to solve by uninstalling
..NETframwork 2.0 by the method described here:

If you don't have 2.0 installed then you have a different problem. You
should try repairing or reinstalling .NET 1.1.
Here is a link that may help:

This problem is posted in this and other microsoft newsgroups practically
every day yet rarely do I see any knowledgeable solutions to the problem.
DotNET 2.0 should not be on the windows update site since it is still buggy.
