framework then re-installing it and allowing windows update to run again.

when i go to uninstall it, it says this action is only valid for products
that are currently installed.

Sounds like fun. Maybe this will help:
How to troubleshoot Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installation issues
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;824643

It has a section on manually removing the .net framework, assuming your not
running Windows 2003 server.
