Guest Wolf Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Installation Failure Error Code: 0x66A Try to install the update again, or request help from one of the following resources. For self-help options: Frequently Asked Questions Find Solutions Windows Update Newsgroup Anybody? This machine is running XP SP2 and is current except for this update failure. Wolf
Guest Wolf Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 The solution: The .NET Framework 3.5 contains an updated version of the .NET Framework 3.0, and that updated version of 3.0 contains this hotfix already. Unfortunately, there was some incorrect detection information in the Windows Update logic that is used to decide whether or not to offer this hotfix to a system. You can safely ignore this failure and just skip installing this hotfix since the equivalent fix is already a part of the version of the .NET Framework 3.5 that you have on your system. The Windows Update authoring logic that is causing this error is in the process of being fixed, and will be refreshed on the live Windows Update site in the near future. For more details, please visit: .NET Framework 3.0 hotfix (KB932471) will fail to install if .NET Framework 3.5 beta 2 is installed.
