Solution for .NET framework KB928366 ipdate standby problems

OK guys, I got mine to work. The person helping me via microsoft support is
still not addressing the actual issue of the standby problem, but I simply
followed her instruction and it worked. I think the culprit is using windows
update to get the KB928366 security update and having antivirus/antispyware
or other security software running. Her instructions gave an actual manual
download for the update, and that is the differece for me. Here they are:

ALSO, BEFORE YOU START, DISABLE ALL ANTIVIRUS, ANTISPYWARE, ANTI WHATEVER
SOFTWARE, HIPS, SOFTWARE FIREWALLS (short of the windows firewall) etc.

1) Either use the add/remove function in the control panel to rid yourself
of all .NET stuff, or use the installer cleanup utility

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...BD/msicuu2.exe

2) Run this utility to super clean the lovely KB928366 p.o.s. of an update

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Now, if you have a 32 bit machine, which you likely do, use the last
download link entitled Cleanup-x86.exe. Why it's not entitled x32.exe is
beyond me, but this is Microsoft we are dealing with!

3) Install the .NET framework 1.1

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...6/dotnetfx.exe

4) Install the .NET framework service pack 1

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...867460-X86.exe

5) MANUALLY install the DREADED stupid p.o.s. security update that we all
would like to shoot with my new trail boss 44 magnum

http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...d81a178b15.exe

ALSO, BEFORE YOU START, DISABLE ALL ANTIVIRUS, ANTISPYWARE, ANTI WHATEVER
SOFTWARE, HIPS, SOFTWARE FIREWALLS (short of the windows firewall) etc.

Overall solution - for the .NET Framework updates...

Take what you need from the solution. If you don't have .NET Framework 2.0
installed - you don't need that part of the solution. Same for 3.0. If
you come to a instruction you cannot follow because you do not have referred
to file/registry entry - skip over it and consider it done. Don't dwell on
the parts you *don't* have - be concerned with the parts you do.


(1) You need to repair .NET Framework 1.0/1.1 - obliterating all remnants of
it
and installing it/patching it fully.

Download/install/use:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Download/install:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

For the articles below, follow the "IT professionals" link and find the
download for your OS.
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867460/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886903/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928366/

Reboot as needed and at the end.

(2) You need to repair .NET Framework 2.0 - obliterating all remnants of it
and installing it/patching it fully.

How to troubleshoot Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installation issues
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908077/
- Unregister and then reregister Windows Installer (See article)
- Manually remove and then reinstall the .NET Framework 2.0 (See Article)
For the articles below, follow the "IT professionals" link and find the
download for your OS.
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917283/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922770/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928365/

Reboot as needed and at the end.

(3) You need to repair .NET Framework 3.0 - obliterating all remnants of it
and installing it/patching it fully.

Unfortunately - there is no particular article pertaining to .NET Framework
3.0 that I could find. I have not had issues, however, just going into the
Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs and just locating/removing it and
its patches. I suggest you do the same and then reboot...

Download/install using this distributable package:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Reboot as needed and at the end.

(4) Cleanup your updates system...

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Then click "GO"... May take a while.

Reboot when it is done...

(5) Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for updates. Choose
the critical updates you need and install them. Do not bother getting
hardware updates (unless you happen to have some Microsoft hardware
installed) and "Optional Updates" are *usually* just what the name infers -
but feel free to see if you want any of the "Optional" ones.

(6) Come back here and let us know how you came out...


This has now come to light from a poster (Ray&Fran) and should be noted:

Got everything installed but KB928367? This is caused by corrupted
..NET Framework 1.0 components. Simply hide the incorrect update...

1. Open IE and go to the Windows Update site directly:
http://www.windowsupdate.com
2. Click "Custom Install" to scan your system (Not Express Install).
3. After it finishes, please unclick the incorrect update.
(Uncheck the box next to it.)
4. Choose "Don't show this update again"
(Check the box next to that under the update itself.)
5. Scan the computer again to check the result.

And that's most likely the only thing you may have to do, which means,
you have to stop the appending *services* of the AV software too (via
"Start -> Run -> services.msc" for instance). That's especially true
for Aviras AntiVir where you have to stop the services "AntiVir
PersonalEdition Classic Guard" and "AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic
Planer", uninstall KB928366 and reinstall this update afterwards.
No need to uninstall the whole Framework in this case.

FWIW,
Freudi

All I had to do was the add/ remove function to remove .NET stuff

Install the .NETframework 1.1 as indicated in section 3 below.

The rest followed almost automatically only requiring me to agree to install
the service pack 1 and on the next restart the update .

I did not have to switch off any Anti Virus. Antispyware or anything,

Why not give it a go before going through the complete solution Instructions

I've been trying to install the new security update many times. It always
comes back as "Installation Failed". I came across your entry and started
following your steps. However, when I got to Step 3 "Install the .Net
framework 1.1", it wouldn't install.

I was just wandering if there was anything I could do to fix my first
problem or fix the problem with your troubleshooting step on my comp.

Thank You.

Hi,

Please see thread titled "[SOLUTION] You cannot install KB928366 (.Net
Framework 1.1 security update)".

These steps are clear but my question is do you need to reinstall any of the
..Net stuff on your computer? I am just a home user using Microsoft Office
programs.

Hey Drew

Thanks! Funny that your post was the most effective way to find the download
(you would think searching for it would be...).
Also, any good firewall (not referring to the windows firewall... I mean a
good firewall that is a full firewall) should have a setting to notify you
of attempts to get through ports that are blocked and allow you to open them.
That way you don't have to turn it off (although you may have to run the
install again).
In my case I suspect the problem is spybot... funny that most other updates
work...
