Steps to Install the Security Update (KB928366) on Windows XP Prof

[Guest Ziad]

I had the following products installed on my PC:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0

 

 

This is for Microsoft Support Team:

To avoid uninstalling Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0, and since this

update is a Hotfix for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, I considered removing

only Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903) and then Microsoft .NET

Framework 1.1 using the “Windows Add/Remove Programs†tool.

When I tried to remove (KB886903), using the “Windows Add/Remove Programsâ€

tool, a dialog box kept telling me that the file “netfx.msi†is missing.

Using Window’s Search tool, I found this file in the folder were Microsoft

..NET Framework 2.0 was installed. So may be the conflict is between these two

softwares: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903) and Microsoft .NET

Framework 2.0

After all this, I didn’t try to uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 using

the “Windows Add/Remove Programs†tool.

 

Step by Step Procedure to Install (KB928366) on Windows XP Prof. SP2:

 

Note: the reasonable way to uninstall this series of .NET Framework is to

uninstall them in the reverse order of their installation, doing this one by

one, and Restarting after each uninstall.

Step 1: using the “Windows Add/Remove Programs†tool, uninstall “Microsoft

..NET Framework 3.0†then uninstall “Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0â€

 

Step 2: Download Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp utility from:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/9/D/E9D80355-7AB4-45B8-80E8-983A48D5E1BD/msicuu2.exe

After saving the file “msicuu2.exe†to hard disk, double-click it to install

this tool on your computer.

 

Step 3: Remove “Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1†using the above Windows

Installer CleanUp utility, then Restart the computer.

Note: since the software “Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)†is

not listed in the “Windows Installer CleanUp utilityâ€, it can’t be

uninstalled by this utility.

This is not a problem, leave and it will be replaced later on.

 

Note: even if the names of “Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1†and “Microsoft

..NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)†are still present in Window’s

Add/Remove Programs, don’t pay attention to them.

 

 

Step 4: Install .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package and .NET

Framework 1.1 SP1

1. Download the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package

and the updates from the following links and save them to the C drive (C :\)

2. After downloading the above 3 Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 setup files
