Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update KB953297 Fails to install

[Guest Shawn E. Hale]

Windows XP Home

Service Pack 3

 

All other updates released this date installed fine with the exception of

KB953297. Another home computer installed this update with no problem. The

only difference I can find is that the computer where the install failed had

..NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix KB928366 installed. The article

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953297) states that this recent update

"supersedes" the hotfix. I tried to uninstall the hotfix but that lead to

another problem where it could not find the "netfx.msi" file to continue.

So I stopped that hoping to find another answer here. Any thoughts on what

I should do?

[Guest Randy Bell]

Hi Shawn,

 

I believe if you go to MS Downloads and download the manual installer for

KB953297, you can open it and extract the "netfx.msi" file -- the installer

is a self-extracting zipfile, so you need WinRAR or WinZip or similar

utility to open it and extract the "netfx.msi" file .. HTH and good luck ..

Translation: If you had *not* installed KB928366 and you install KB953297,

you do not need to install KB928366.

Thanks for the replies. After attempting several of the fixes mentioned in

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824643, all unsuccessful, I re-installed

version 1.1 and then the new update installed fine.

I had the same problem, all 100pc's on the network were failing (due, I

think, to previously installed Visual Studio .Net apps, which updated dot

net). It appears that the installer is referencing a registry key to find

the location of the netfx.msi file. When it fails to find the file it

errors out.

 

I grabbed the dotnetfx.exe file from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en,

opened it with WinRAR (or use any comprssion program) and extracted the

netfx.msi to our network. I then entered the network location into the

registry key

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\DDE7F2BCF1D91C3409CFF425AE1E271A\SourceList\Net]

"1"=hex(2):

 

Then I re-ran the updates and it installed fine.

 

Hope this helps someone,

Box

Hi Shawn: Had same problem.... Solution--Uninstall .Net Framework 1.1 from

add/remove programs.This automatically removes an earlier hotfix which i

think is causing the problem.Restart computer and go to windows update as

normal and check for updates.If all is well you will reinstall .Net Framework

1.1 and the problem update KB953297 successfully. This worked on both my

laptops but for some reason i had to try 2 times before the update KB953297

successfully installed on one of mylaptops. Good luck.. Scott.

I am having the same problem. Found a post for an earlier solution for

Windows XP and Windows 2000. Just type in KB953297 64c and it should come up.

RE: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update KB9532

 

Hi Shawn: Had same problem...What i did was to uninstall the .Net Framework

1.1 programme from add/remove programmes.This also appears to remove an

earlier hotfix which may be causing the problem. Restart as normal then go to

update site and check for new updates..which will include the .Net Framework

1.1 and KB953297 which should install with no probs. I did this on both my

laptops and worked except i had to try twice with the KB953297 update on one

of them but it did solve the problem.. Hope it works for you ... Scott.

RE: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update KB9532

 

My experience was to use the Framework Cleanup Tool to remove all versions of

Framework. Then using MS Update custom, added versions from lowest to most

recent one restart at a time. All Framework versions and updates installed

successfully.

 

Just to mention, uninstalling all Framework versions caused a problem with

Roxio 2009 install, so had to uninstall Roxio and reinstall after the

Framework installs.

 

Yeh... seems if there's an update failure, it's alway seems to be .Net

Framework.

RE: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update KB9532

 

Hi Shawn, I've had the same problem with KB953297. I used the Cleanup

facility mentioned by Thiggy in his message but only for 1.1. Then, when I

tried to load SP1 for 1.1 directly from its own page I got the message

"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\V2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll could not be

loaded"

This obvious Microsoft programming bug referring to V2 instead of V1.1

folder is probably the problem occurring for everyone, or if they don't also

have V2 on their machine it's just crashing.

Microsoft, in their great wisdom, don't seem to have an email address to

report these obvious bugs found (I'm a programmer/designer retired after

almost 40 years in the field - pre Microsoft I might add).

 

So, if the Microsoft person responsible for reviewing these messages can

pass this on and get the problem fixed, please do it.

 

And Microsoft, I've also had problems with KB970892 as well, but I don't

have that debugged for you yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.

 

Do I need still need older versions of the .NET Framework on my system after

I unintalled .NET Framework 1.1 because I was having the same issue with the

update for kb953297 but .NET Framework 1.1 will not re-install. I went to

the download page and attempted but it failed. I no longer have microsoft

..NET Framework 1.1 on my computer. I do have microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

SP1 on my computer. Do I really need .NET Framework 1.1?

Probably. It depends on what applications you have installed.

 

Perhaps this will help?

You ask an excellent question. Hopefully someone will step up with an

answer. Why would someone install an update of an older verison than current

running on a system?

The .NET framework is installed on user's computers in order to run other

software that uses it. Unfortunately, software designed to use .NET 1 will not

work unless .NET 1 is installed, even if a later version of .NET is.

Not quite correct. If you install version 3.5 SP1 (incidentally this is

all you need even if you don't have 3.5 original) , it installs all

essential previous versions as well. You don't need any other previous

versions. I have done it, and tested it with adobe CS3, CS4 and

Expression Web 2 & 3, Microaoft Accounting 2009 and Office 2007.

 

3.5 SP1 is a huge file so it makes sense to bundle everything in it.
