How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed and
whether service packs have been applied
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/kb00318785.aspx

IF no there are no higher versions than .NET Framework 2.0 installed,
suggest that you apply Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Then install the application compatibility update for .NET Framework 2.0
SP2:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...4-6450b0212565

Scroll to the bottom of the above page and click the Download button
next to NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe

*Save* both downloads when prompted to either run or *save* them.
When the downloads are completed, close *all* open programs and browsers.

Apply .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 first (NetFx20SP2_x86.exe), restart if
prompted to.
Then install NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe, reboot if prompted to.

If either do not install properly, then see:

You can also run the .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool to check the
..NET Framework that was *included* in MCE and subsequent .NET Frameworks
that were installed:

If there are still issues installing either the .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
or the application compatibility update (NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe), you
can contact Aaron from here:

Thank you, MowGreen, for a very thorough answer. Fantastic.
I DID run into difficulties with the first install. The NetFx20SP2... did
NOT install. Before I go through all of the other steps, can I ask you how
much I really need these Service Packs etc?
Are these optional? If so, can I just remove them from the list?
Thanks a lot.
Bob

You're mowst welcome, Bob. The question is not if *you* need the SP,
it's IF the *software* that installed .NET Framework 2 *needs* them.
Since .NET 2 isn't native to MCE, then some software or hardware that
was subsequently installed is what installed .NET 2.
Here's a list that includes the Hotfixes for .NET 2 on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951847

Suggest you Verify that .NET Framework 2 is installed properly prior to
attempting another installation of .NET Framework SP2.
Then follow Aaron's steps if it's not installed properly.
That's what appears to be the issue here, the improper installation of
..NET 2.
