.NET update failure (KB928366)


Recommended Posts

Posted

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:

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!

 

George

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.

 

RGDS & TIA

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.
