Hi

To reset the pending download you now have, clean out the Download
folder (WU5's temporary download folder) located here:

%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)

You can use the procedure described here:

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=11&ln=en

You might need to delete the DataStore folder mentioned in the link
above, as well as the EventCache folder.

Note that a side effect of deleting the DataStore folder is that you
lose your WU v5 History listing (not critical).


You can also download and install the GDI+ updates from here:

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028
Buffer Overrun in JPEG Processing (GDI+) Could Allow
Code Execution (833987)

This solution did help in installing GDI+ update But my Update to .NET
framework 1.1 SP1 is still hanging. I have a .NET visual studio trial version
installed on my computer. Is this causing problems installing .NET framework
SP1
