update (KB930494) won't install

I had to repair WinXPMediaCentre, which meant reinstalling 85 windows
updates. All but one installed fine (after some messing around) but this one
- Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.0 Service Pack 3
(KB930494) - fails to install.
It repeatedly downloads automatically and prompts me to install, or sits in
my taskbar with the shield icon. But it always fails to install. I've
installed the latest windows installer, but it makes no difference.
How can I sort this?

This has been a major problem with this update for many. There have been
fixes posted here, that involves uninstalling, running windows installer
cleanup, etc
I tried, unsuccessfully. I have just hidden the update, and will wait and
see if MS fixes this broken update.

See my reply to your original thread, Phil.

<QP>
I assume you're running either WinXP Media Center Edition or Tablet Edition,
Phil. You'll see many threads in this newsgroup about problems installing
one or more of the recent .NET Framework updates. We have no idea why so
many users are having such problems.

=> For official support on the problem:

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

Otherwise...

=> Try temporarily disabling your anti-virus and/or real-time protection
provided by any anti-spyware applications (e.g., CounterSpy, Spysweeper,
Spybot, AVG Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before
attempting to install the update(s). [If you disable a third-party
firewall, make CERTAIN you the Windows Firewall is enabled!]

=> If no joy, MS Product Support Services (PSS) has been recommending the
following to resolve the problem:

*Do each step, in order, for best results.*

1. Uninstall .NET Framework 1.0 SP3 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

2. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

3. Download and run the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...4-97BD16967A09

4. Download .NET Framework 1.0 SP3, saving it to your desktop then install
it manually
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...c-83e78d4abc5b

5. Install 930494 either via Automatic Updates, Windows Update website
(http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com), or manually using the download from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...B-6961034147BC

Let us know how you make out.

I am also having this problem and tried to fillow your advice without
success. Also tried to raise an incident request but not sure if that worked
either as I did not get any confirmation

I also am having the same problem and when I went to look for the .NET
Framework 1.0 SP3, I can not locate it on my PC. Where would I locate it as
I can't find it and I am still getting the exclamation mark saying I need to
do this update. It's very annoying. Hopefully they will fix this without me
destroying my own computer first.

Can't open Windows XP Media Center says I must reinstall the .NET Framework but can't find this

When opening XP Media Center receive error ehshell.exe a fatal error occurred.However,mscorees.dll could not be loaded to display the appropriate message please re install the .NET Framework.

By editing the subject, you began a new thread, at least as far as users of
some newsreaders are concerned. And seeing as you neglected to quote any
earlier posts, I'll ask: What "same problem" are you having?? Did you also
reinstall WinXP MCE?

PS: One post about the problem would have been sufficient.

The thread you attempted to reply to dates from July 2007. Have you read
all replies (e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...9b8d0121e42e)?

==============================

How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed and
whether service packs have been applied
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785

1. Write down all .NET Framework versions and SPs installed.

2. With http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 open as a reference (ignore
the title):

a. Uninstall any/all .NET Framework versions SPs and associated Hotfixes
currently listed in Add/Remove Programs.

b. Reboot.

c. Download/run the cleanup tool referenced in
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...30/611355.aspx

d. Reboot.

e. Manually download/install .NET Framework 1.0 SP3 from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...C-83E78D4ABC5B

f. If you uninstalled any later .NET Framework versions above, manually
download/install them, too.
