The above is an update to .NET Framework 2.0. It will not install on top of
a beta version of .NET Framework 2.0.
The following is a revised version of an earlier post by TKang:
Note:
a. Some ATI VGA users may need to disable/exit the Catalyst Control Center
(which uses .NET) before updating the framework.
b. Users of Windows Live OneCare must disable that application before
removing or updating the Framework.
1: Turn automatic updates off.
2: Download .NET 2.0 (for 32-Bit) at this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
OR
2a: Download .NET 2.0 (for 64-Bit) at this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
3: Use control panel Add/Remove Programs to uninstall Microsoft .NET
Framework, Version 2.0 and reboot. Do not touch .NET Framework 1.1.
3a: see note below at step 7.
4: Install Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (for 32-bit: dotnetfx.exe
3/22/2006) or (for 64-bit: NetFx64.exe 3/30/2006) and reboot.
5: Then run MS Update (and install KB917283) then reboot.
6: Turn automatic updates on (assuming that is your preference).
7. If this procedure failed to allow update 917283 to work, then repeat the
procedure, adding the following at step 3a:
Download
http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools...eanup_tool.zip and
unzip it. Run the enclosed application, and select to clean up .NET
Framework 2.0. Now continue above from step 4.
