I seem to have that problem a lot of people are having with installing the security update for .NET 3.5 (KB2789650). I kept getting an 0x80073712 error so I tried following some of the recommendations I found here but they didn't work.

Hi, A number of my applications users, including my self suffer direct out of memory errors or System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid errors when creating a new Bitmap using System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(Int32 width, Int32 height, PixelFormat format).

I installed the optional Platform Update for Windows 7 KB2670838 and after entering Save information, no file was created. I narrowed it down to both 32-bit and 63-bit IE 9.0 (latest update) since I was able to create the XPS file from Outlook, Word and Quicken.

Here comes the question: what the licensing conditions are? Thanks. View this thread
