Update Microsoft.NET Framework version 1.1 failed

I have just did a clean install of Windows XP Media Center. I used windows
update (custom) to install the updates and most of them were installed with
SP3. When I try to install "Microsoft.NET Framework version 1.1" it says that
it failed and was not installed. There is no error code. I appreciate your
help on how to install it. I am trying to install it so that I can install
KB900325 Update rollup for Windows XP Media Center. Thanks.

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

Do you find any version of .NET Framework 1.1 already installed?

PA Bear, thanks for your help. I have v1.0.3705 on my computer. Beacuse I
have v1.0 on my computer shouldn't I be able to install v1.1 and also v2.0?

A. Did you install WinXP SP3 via Windows Update or manually? Have you
rebooted since you installed SP3?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were ANY of these applications running in the background when you
installed SP3 (and/or SP2)?

B. The above notwithstanding:

CrystalBall© sez...

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.

C. If the problem persists after reregistering the DLL(s) in 943144:

1. Write down what .NET Framework versions are already installed before you
go uninstalling/removing any of them!

A. I installed Win XP3 via windows update using custom rather than express
after a clean install of XP. I have booted many times since installing. Since
doing the clean install I have not installed an anti-virus, security suite,
Defender, or any other related security software.

B. I ran 943144

C.
1. The only .NET framework on the computer is v1.0.3705

2. I did not try installing any other .NET framework or any other updates yet.

Why did you do a "clean install"?

Excuse me? Your currently running without an anti-virus application? Not a
good idea IMHO. Please tell me that the Windows Firewall is enabled, at
least.

Is Microsoft.NET Framework version 1.1 still failing to install? If so, is
it a Service Pack for version 1.1 (e.g., Microsoft.NET Framework version 1.1
SP1)?

The hard drive failed and when I replaced it I decided to make it a Media
Center computer.

After reading your post I was able to install .NET Framework v1.1 and then I
was able to install the Update Rollup 2 update. Hopefully tomorrow I will be
able to set up the computer to my tv. Thanks for your help.

YW. Thanks for the "rest of the story" and your feedback.

You now have the equivalent of a new computer, so...
