service pack 1 for net/framwork 2.0 KB110806

After installation the update left some installer files on my c drive in a
folder named dotNetFX20 and it won't let me delete them, there are 9 .mps
files and 1 .msi file.
I get "cannot delete file access denied" I have even tried MoveOnBoot with
no luck.
Now, I know these files don't belong where they are and I know the update is
installed OK. I have an two identical laptops both with xp home and this
stuff is not on the other machine. Why do I have these installer files on my
PC and how do I get rid of them?. Can anyone help??

Wind,

Safe mode booting should free them up to be able to be deleted

Secondly. The so-called move on boot uses a MoveFileEx API together with the appropriate
flag (MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT) to delete 'files' & not 'directories'. It adds the
entries to a registry key PendingFileRenameOperations
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations) which is a REG_MULTI_SZ string (semi colon seperated)

If you don't pass a value to it as the second parameter then the file gets deleted if
using the above stated flag

More info on MoveFileEx:

It's written for developers though

Newbie,
I really do appreciate you responding to my post,I didn't think anyone
would, however I got the same message when trying to delete these files in
safe mode. I tried it as my login and as administrator...same result. Do you
have any more ideas for me?
Thanks,
Wind_lickr

First, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 (ignore the title).

If no joy, see this recent post by my colleague MowGreen:

PA Bear,
Greatly appreciate your response...I have gone thru all the steps in
KB923100 and still can't delete the installer files that KB110806 left on my
c drive from the orig update, I tried when there was no net/framwork
installed (between the steps of KB923100), still no joy. Mow Green's post was
good, but it is geared toward not being able to install KB110806. My orig
install of the serv pak 1 was sucessful, it just left these installer files
behind for some reason. Maybe I should just ignore them, what do you think?

I'm afraid you're not alone with this problem. I'd recommend that you...

Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?gprid=6527

Support for Windows Update:

If users don't report such problems using the available Free Support
channels, MS won't know there's a problem.

At this time, let’s use another tool to finish the removing job in an easier
way, the tool can find the related file and remove them automatically. Let us
refer to following steps:

Remove .NET Framework using removal tool
================================
1. Please download the tool from the following link:
http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools...eanup_tool.zip

2. Please save the zip file (dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip) from the above link
to the local Desktop and extract it.
3. Double click cleanup_tool.exe to run the tool.
4. Please follow the instructions given.
In the "Product to cleanup:" box, please select ".NET Framework - All
versions". If we cannot find that, please select .net 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0
manually.
5. Click "Cleanup Now" button.

You can try taking ownership of the folder. Check out
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421 for instructions.
