Can't Install KB886903: Security Update for .NET Framework, Ver 1.1 SP1

I can't install the following critical update on Windows XP:

Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1

I've tried applying it several times, including after rebooting the machine
and doing a disk cleanup. The error messages I see are the following:

Run #1:
Message Box Header: SLBE.tmp - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Message Box Body:
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0x400 (1024), Thread id=0x39c (924)
Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.
[OK] [Cancel]

Run #2:
Message Box Header: SL8F.tmp - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Message Box Body:
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0x830 (2096), Thread id=0xfb8 (4024)
Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.
[OK] [Cancel]

After clicking OK I see the following:

Message Box Header: Installing Updates
Message Box Body:
Updates were unable to be successfully installed:
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1
The following updates wer not installed:
[Close]

I scanned this newsgroup for other mentions of this problem but am
unfamiliar with the tool referenced (some kind of Windows Update
Cleanup???). Could someone please advise... Don't like to see a critical
update not go on.

 

Can you try downloading and installing it from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8552-eb710c26a3cd/NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe?

 

I'm one o' those folks who've had NO success fixing this (MVP claimed there
are only *six* of us in the world with this problem!), so I gave your
suggestion a try. Result is a popup that says:

"SL7E.tmp - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0x8a4 (2212), Thread id=0x43c (1084).

Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application."

If I click CANCEL, I get:

"SL7E.tmp -No debugger found.
Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT
debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2 (2).
Please check computer settings.

cordbg.exe !a 0x8a4

Click on Retry to have the process wait while attaching a debugger manually.
Click on Cancel to abort the JIT debug request."

This seems like a particularly frustrating bug, and I've religiously
followed EVERY suggestion I've seen in this group, but to no avail. I'm
willing to be patient....some more.

Next suggestion?

Taurarian replied with this link:
http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/49/249097.aspx

....that contained this registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\DbgJITDebugLaunchSetting
which unfortunately doesn't exist on my machine, although .Net 1.1 *is*
installed.

Also, Taurarian's link contains another link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/htm
which only says "Page Cannot be Found".

Keep 'em coming; all SIX of us with this bug would like to join the rest of
you whose Updater actually works. :^ \

How to troubleshoot Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installation issues

 

After carefully following all steps on the indicated page (oy: I've done
this several times before, too-- just was hoping someone had a new angle), I
get this:

"SLAF.tmp -Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xb0 (176), Thread id=0x1c8 (456).

Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application."

If I click CANCEL, I get the very same "No debugger found" message.

Folks, I'm not a newbie to computers; I followed these instructions to the
letter. No joy.

Any more suggestions?


Yours truly,
Uncle Beer

 

I'm out of ideas, but perhaps the last post from Mark P may or may not be of
assistance to you

Link may wrap to more than one line.

 

Hellllooooo:

I noticed the helpful suggestions have come to a halt. I've literally tried
EVERYTHING suggested to fix this, more than once. To the letter.

Any chance of MVP's passing a message on to Redmond (or wherever the MS
folks chill): that some of us are having ongoing problems with the .NET
security update? That would be greatly appreciated.


Yours truly,
Uncle Beer

 

I did this (as I have before, more than once...): Windows Install Clean-Up
shows *NO* programs to clean up, so this is a no-go.

Any more suggestions? Anyone? . . . . .


Yours truly,
Uncle Beer

 

Perhaps try online assisted support from Microsoft?
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkID=21608

I'm totally out of any more suggestions.

 

I still have a solution! Can I try?

Seriously, thank you to Taurarian, who does an outstanding job every day at
trying to take on the tough cases.

"Uncle Beer",

Please try the following:

Check the My_Computer_Zone has FullTrust permissions enabled:

1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Double-click Administrative Tools
4. Click to select the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework
Configuration tool.
5. Drill-down to Runtime Security Policy
6. Then Machine
7. Then Code Groups
8. Then Machine
9. Code Groups
10. All_Code
11. Then Right-click on My_Computer_Zone.
12. Click the Permission Set tab
13. Verify and/or change permission set to FullTrust.
14. Reboot the machine
15. Try the installation once more and see if this works for you.

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]

Looks like you should have noticed that the link was broken
and pasted the rest of it after the part you tried?
(It's amazing how often an html extension is truncated at htm...)

For your convenience here is the complete link:

I'm not sure how this helps you though since you already are getting
the diagnostic.


Good luck

-----------------------------------------------
Note: Information from Peevee
I didn't apply line 5 why?
Couldn't install Run dotnet.exe for a fresh new .net install.
Without line 5 all went well
copy of line 5:
5. Go to the start menu, then run. Type in "msconfig" and set it to
Diagnostic and then reboot to prevent other software from getting in the way
of the install.

 

Go to Microsoft KB867461 area alot of help there as I had the same problem.
There seems to be a problem with (KB886903) and I had to also find this out
the hard way. I was told to go this other way and it worked. Good Luck
