I had this problem too and this is how I fixed the issue on my machine. I
was originaly trying to install the update rollup 2 for Windows XP Media
Center. I went to the web page below and after I was able to successfully
load Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 and Update Rollup 2 for
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (KB900325).
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=900325
"If the 886904 update is installed, you must uninstall the 886904 update
before you install Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center
Edition 2005. Otherwise, the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 installation will not
succeed."
This is what I suggest you to do:
Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs
Make sure the Show updates checkbox is checked
Scroll Down and look for Mircrosoft .NET Framework Hotfix (KB886904)
Click on the the hotfix and click on remove.
Then reboot your computer.
You should now be able to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service
Pack 1
If you are unable to uninstall the hotfix that means you have already
tried or that you have uninstalled the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1.
I do not know how to tell you to work around this problem. I had this
problem before I found the web page above and I ened up reloading my machine
and starting from scratch.
I hope this helps you out.

help or even know if this update is really necessary or can I do without it.
Thanks
