Any other suggestions would be welcome (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 came out... -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
