.NET Framwork can't update


Recommended Posts

I am being prompted to run updates for .Net Framework 1.1 and 2.0 They are

KB928366 & KB928365.

Each time they fail. From everything I read, I understand the solution is to

remove them and reinstall, however the uninstall fails as well. I keep

getting "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify

that the source exists and that you can access it." I am on a stand alone

workstation, not a network (well a small peer to peer), and I am the Admin,

and I am running XP- Pro. I have tried to follow all the tech support help I

can find, however I can not remove the product, what do I do, short of

formatting and reinstalling, which I truly do not want to do.

After much forum-diving and emails back and forth to Microsoft, I

pieced together a solution that worked for me. It's posted here:

(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/details.aspx?FamilyId=10CC340B-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.

If you look at the solution posted by CATESTER, that is the reply that worked

perfectly. Thank you for your attempt, however, I appreciate your time.
