Guest Ben Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 I get the error when trying to install the SP1 that I downloaded independently of the Update.
Guest jrobo Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I managed to install the clean up utility, but, like most of us, I could not find .NET Framework 2.0 in the list to remove it. Help! How come Microsoft hasn't come up with a reasonable response for those of us who are still suffering?!! How long till they come through??
Guest jhaysITQ Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 BY chance - do most people that are experiencing this problem have Norton Internet Security? If you look at your installed updates - it will show you when the last update succeeded. The Windows Defender and Malicious Updates have worked even with the 64x updates fail. Mine go back to when Norton Security center was installed. I turned it off, but still get error - may try uninstalling Norton and see if it corrects it. I will repost afterwards.

Windows Vista ye... thats right. i tried all that and still have the error 80070490. the lengthy display above comes originally from a blog by Andreas Klein (if i'm not wrong!)

Guest Number4 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Did you look in the registry for the .NET file? I had some issues with the ..NET Framework and found it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Microsoft | .NETFramework. I had to delete the version in question in my case it was v2.0.50727. I deleted that key and was then able to proceed. ***NOTE*** Messing with the registry could cause the system to not work. I'm not saying this is the way to proceed but it worked for me.

Guest Number4 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I haven't worked with Vista yet so these steps are for XP... The first thing you want to do is back up the registry. In the Registry Editor on the menu bar go to File | Export. Name the file something you can remember, I usually put the date in it to help me and then save it to a location easy to get to, like C:\temp\ or something. Now that you have a .reg file there, if there are any problems with the registry, just double-click the .reg file and it will ask if you want to add it to the registry. Try it out before attempting to delete anything. Now that you have a clean snapshot of your registry that you can reload to put it back as it was originally, go in and delete one of the keys. Reboot the machine and see if you have any glitches. If yes, reload the saved .reg file if no, delete another key and repeat. This is slow and tedious but if you're not comfortable with the registry this is the only way to do it yourself. "jakhoo" wrote: > Hi, > > I'm not good at this techie stuff.

Guest jlanoue Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Has anyone actually ever fixed this problem? I've seen all the posts on what to do but haven't seen any saying problem solved. In my case update log shows all of the Defender Updates were successful and all the Windows Search 4.0 fails. I'm using Dell 1330 laptop, 2.4 GHz, 4Gig RAM, Vista Ultimate on D drive. Thanks for any guidance. ..Joe -- jlanoue Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

The original conversation, in its entirety, can be found here: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.p...9eed32cc15e540/ You might find your answer there.

Press the "Windows Key" + R on your keyboard) --> type in: winver --> Click OK. The picture at the top of the window that opens will give you the general (Operating System name) while the line starting with the word "version" will give you the rest of the story. Post _both_ in response to this message verbatim. -) After you do that, you are referring to this KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925902 .... correct?
