It does contain error codes for Windows Update, so at least that's a
start in the right direction.

It worked for George, but does it work for everyone ?
MS needs a body count on this issue, Michel. Otherwise they'll say it's
just a small percentage of Users who are experiencing this. <w>

FWIW, all of the .NET updates installed just fine on all of my systems.
Perhaps the problem lies in the original installation being faulty due
to interference from antivirus software. This causes subsequent security
updates to fail.
Or, perhaps folks run 'registry cleaners' that delete needed
information|setup files for said updates to install properly.
Quien sabe ?

Same here. But I do admit that every time MS releases a .NET update via
WU/MU we have a massive influx of failed notices in this and related
newsgroups.

I'm starting to think that all .NET updates need to be treated like a
service pack, where they are downloaded and installed offline rather than
being pushed/streamed via WU/MU/AU.

There must be *some* commonality for why there are so many issues
installing these and other .NET updates.
Perhaps I'm naive ? <w>

I suspect the Fickle Finger of Fate will end up pointing to real-time
protection by anti-virus, anti-spyware, and/or third-party firewall.

I forgot to turn off all the above, anti-virus, anti-spyware, 3rd party firewall,
WinPatrol, you name it I left it all on.
No problems.
I did note however during installation my security did pop up to ask me to allow
installation and WinPatrol did ask about a service which I allowed at the time because I
knew what was happening. Perhaps some security software, just stops the installation
process altogether without warning.

Well, certainly not all AV & anti-spyware apps and/or third-party firewalls,
but...

I've seen threads here and posts elsewhere stating that disabling, e.g.,
CounterSpy and/or ZA allowed the MS07-040 updates to install without a
hitch.

Useless to me. I don't even have .NET 1.0 installed and this damned SP3
update keeps getting shoved in my face. Then it fails with 8007F070,
which isn't mentioned on that site anywhere.

Installed on my system with no problems and I never turn off my AV or ZA
for any update.

If you need help with the SP3 stuff - well - most likely you need to locate
your Office XP CD and put it in before you attempt the update. I say this
assuming you have Office XP and not Windows 2000 - another possibility.

Also - something *could* be awry with your WU...

Try one (or both) of these:

Solution to try (1):

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix Windows Installer, fix Windows Update, and all the
Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Then click "GO"

Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".


Solution to try (2):

1) Reboot and logon as a user with Administrative Privs...
2) Immediately run the following batch script (You will have to create it by
cutting/pasting as directed.)

- Click Start, Run, type: notepad C:\register.bat and press Enter. Choose
Yes when you are prompted.
- Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window:

Choose Yes when you are prompted to save the file.
- Click Start, Run, type:
C:\register.bat and press Enter to run the commands I have pasted.
The Process may take sometime.

3) Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

(You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right
after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.)

4) Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A

5) Reboot.


If you need help with the .NET Framework stuff:

(1) You need to repair .NET Framework 1.1 - obliterating all remnants of it
and installing it/patching it fully.

How to troubleshoot Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installation issues
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824643
- Unregister and then reregister Windows Installer (See article)
- Manually remove and then reinstall the .NET Framework 1.1 (See Article)
For the articles below, follow the "IT professionals" link and find the
download for your OS.
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867460/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886903/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928366/

Reboot as needed and at the end.

(2) You need to repair .NET Framework 2.0 - obliterating all remnants of it
and installing it/patching it fully.

How to troubleshoot Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installation issues
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908077/
- Unregister and then reregister Windows Installer (See article)
- Manually remove and then reinstall the .NET Framework 2.0 (See Article)
For the articles below, follow the "IT professionals" link and find the
download for your OS.
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917283/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922770/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928365/

Reboot as needed and at the end.

(3) You need to repair .NET Framework 3.0 - obliterating all remnants of it
and installing it/patching it fully.

Unfortunately - there is no particular article pertaining to .NET Framework
3.0 that I could find. I have not had issues, however, just going into the
Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs and just locating/removing it and
its patches. I suggest you do the same and then reboot...

Download/install using this distributable package:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en

Reboot as needed and at the end.

(4) Cleanup your updates system...

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Then click "GO"... May take a while.

Reboot when it is done...

(5) Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for updates. Choose
the critical updates you need and install them. Do not bother getting
hardware updates (unless you happen to have some Microsoft hardware
installed) and "Optional Updates" are *usually* just what the name infers -
but feel free to see if you want any of the "Optional" ones.

(6) Come back here and let us know how you faired.
