Guest Dake Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Hi, I suggest we let MS know, if they don't already, about this problem and get an official fix. Couldn't find a fix so they either don't know or ? Here's the info on this update from the Knowledge Base. There is a place to comment at the end--consider telling MS that this update is failing: http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=928366 Dake
Guest bob Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Here is EXACTLY what you do to solve this problem for Windows XP 32 bit. If you happen to have a rarer 64 bit version, server OS, or SOMETHING else follow the same general instructions but get the version of the files appropriate for your system but first, Microsoft has pissed me off beyond belief. I looked in my log and this same thing happened 6/2006...thanks MSFT for torturing us again this year. I thought it was a familiar feeling...nice branding...this is a huge humiliation for their .NET team in my opinion or perhaps we should start calling them the .NOT team...anyway.... Steps: 1) Go to the control panel and select the add/remove software tool then TRY and remove everything with .NET in the name. If you can remove everything go to step 3. If you cannot remove everything go to step 2. 2) Go and download the windows installer clean up tool at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 run the windows installer clean up tool and BE CAREFUL to only select the .NET items from the list and remove them. Note: this will likely leave the names as "dead links" in the Add/Remove Software list (ahhh ...Microsoft thoroughness at its best) but not to worry they will do no harm and will get fixed when we finish. It's possible to clean them up but let's stay out of the registry :-) 3) Go and get the file "dotnetfx.exe" this is ".NET 1.1" from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en install it. 4) Go and get the file "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" this is the ".NET 1.1 service pack 1" from: my personal website (JUST KIDDING, RELAX...get everything of course from a microsoft.com domain) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A8F5654F-088E-40B2-BBDB-A83353618B38&displaylang=en install it. 5) Install the SECURITY patch, the dreaded KB928366, we have all grown to hate. You can install it from the Windows Update program (be sure to ONLY select the KB928366 patch and NOTHING else, we dont want to put back 2.0 or 3.0 yet). It's OK go ahead and click ...it will be alright...you can do it...it's just one more time... :-) 6) Re-run the Windows Update and you can add back in .NET 2.0 and 3.0 7) Post to thank me... Now WHY hasn't Microsoft posted instructions yet? .... What is UP?! Good night!

Guest Curtis M. Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 bob, Thanks for your instructions however I have listed in my add/remove programs ..NET 1.1 as well as .NET 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903) but I can not remove them. Also they are not listed when I run Windows Installer Clean Up so I am at a loss as how to remove them. Your help is appreciated.

Guest Darrell Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Go here to download and install the .Net Framework removal tool http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspx. With this tool, remove all versions of the .Net Framework that is installed on your system. After all the .Net Framework software is removed from your system, restart your system. Download and install .Net Framework 1.1 then go back to the Windows Update site and install the update for .Net Framework 1.1. Download and install .Net Framework 2.0 - then go back to the Windows Update site and install updates for the .Net Framework 2.0. Download and install ..Net Framework 3.0 then go to Windows Update and install any updates for ..Net Framework 3.0 if there are any.
