Cannot install update KB979906 for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1

June 11, 2010

Hi j: I started this thread looking for an answer and although i recommend

PA BEAR [MS MVP]'s solution of complete removal and intallation of all the

..NET Frameworks in correct prescibed order as being safest method, i took a

risky shortcut (as i always do) and just uninstalled the .NET 1.1 Framework

alone and then just reinstalled it again as i am a bit lazy.I was very

pleased when i checked for updates the problem KB979906 was there and

installed perfectly without a hitch.I have had no problems since then

(although it is early days). I think the problem is that the .NET 1.1

Framework has become corrupt with all the fixes and patches so a simple

re-installation does the trick.

I hope you could maybe try this as an option for all your computers but

don't blame me if it is unsuccessful. I am practical but no computer buff. It

is worth a try though if your only other alternative is complete removal /

re-installation of all .NETs. on all 200 machines. cheers S...omes

I'm afraid that solution won't work for me. I've had my machine for less than

two years from Dell and it's the second time it's had this corruption - the

only way to fix it was to backup my stuff and reinstall everything...

I suspect this problem is never really going to go away, simply because it's

the way Dell fiddle with the OS so their hardware can work! Isn't there just

a simple direct-download link for this file like everything else?

@PA Bear,

That was an AT&T vulnerability, not an Apple vulnerability as originally

reported.

@Harry,

Yeah, people are switching - or simply buying Macs to begin with -

especially students. I run Hackintosh on all my home PCs for better

performance than I can get with Windows 7.

I'm also having the problem described in this thread, and as of Patch

Tuesday, I now have three patches backed up that won't install on one of my

servers. Thanks to all who've posted here.

What solution? Without quoting the post you're replying to, who knows what

your talking about?

Ok, I am going to post this alternative in hopes that it works for someone

else:

Download the manual install file from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=5e55ee58-f00a-4237-bddc-492b63a18b96

Save the file then shutdown all programs (IM Programs like MSN and Yahoo,

Outlook, etc) that access the internet. Next turn off ALL internet

communications and disable the wi-fi.

Run the downloaded program and it should install without incident.

Worked for me & I didn't have to reinstall the .NET framework.

(I hope this solves the problem, I can not begin to say how much all of you

have helped me in the past, so this is me trying to give a little back)

Solution RE: Cannot install update KB979906 for .NET Framework 1.1

Here's what works for me, and how I got there. Note that I'm a mac user, and

don't have the patience for the long drawn up fixes.

A long time ago, I ran into a similar problem. An old version of Norton

Utilities found a several missing files in the .Net installations. I copied

these files from backups, ran the updaters, and everything seemed to work. I

also saved a copy of the missing files in case the problem recurred. It did.

This time around, here's what was missing from my installation:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\_dataperfcounters.h

In the past, other files that have disappeared include

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CORPerfMonSymbols.h

After copying these files over, I ran Windows update, and the patch worked

this time.

Your results may vary.

I'm using XP Pro SP3. I've got the same KB979906 won't install problem.

I've downloaded a copy of the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 file, dotnetfx.exe.

If I uninstall .NET Framework 1.1 using the Add or Remove Programs function

in Control Panel, and then run this dotnetfx.exe file, is that what you are

describing you have done that worked?

Thanks for your help.
