You said: 4. Launch the KB928366 installer. It will soon complain that it
can't find the
installation CD-ROM (don't ask me why). Browse to the folder where you
unpacked the dotnetfx files.

And do what??? Which of the 3 .exe files do you click to complete the
installation of KB928366.

Pardon me ? I never said anything. The quoted text is from another MVP.
AFAIK, just browsing to the folder should be sufficient for the update
to install.
If not, sorry. Haven't had to do any such gymnastics to get the .NET
updates to install on any systems under my watch.
The installer usually knows which file it's looking for on a CD and
*should* know which file is needed in the dotnetfx folder.

I wasn't trying to be rude, I just felt that "4." was an incomplete answer.
I did follow the steps in this threads as to fix this problem with MS Updates
with .NET Framework and I'm still not able to get this to install. My
question to MS, why did they put out an update, that's causing a lot of us to
jump though hoops just to get the darn thing (.Net Framework 1.1 SP1 for
Vista) to work.

MowGreen, I too have never had a problem in the past 10+ years using Windows
OS, but now that I have Vista, this is the 1st time... hmmm, make one wonder.

Not sure why Vista has such a tough time updating, capntawful. Some
systems never have an issue, some update the first time Vista boots and
then fail afterwards, and some never do update successfully .
Could be an OEM 'issue' or interference from the installed antivirus
software.
'tis why Vista will not be installed here until SP1 comes out <w>

From what I've read in this newsgroup, the folks who have used
Patrick's steps have been able to get the .NET update installed without
specifying one of the files in the dotnetfx folder, they just browsed to
said folder and the 'installer' located the correct file.
But, those folks weren't running Vista.

Perhaps the Event Viewer would reveal more information as to why it's
not installing ...
Eventvwr.msc > Applications and Services Log > Microsoft > Windows >
WindowsUpdateClient > Operational
That's about all I know as to where one would find relevant info in
Vista as to updates failing to install.
