Rightly so the install fails. The solutions offered here mostly involve removing the newer version and installing the old version, which means of course that the update will work. I think the question is, why is Microsoft pushing out a 1.1 patch to computers with version 2 already installed ? I think the best solution is to tick the "don't ask me again" box and cancel it.

Guest debilman Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I am having opposite problem. I have successfully downloaded version 1.1 a dozen times. Prior to this was version 2, both on same day different time of day, july 10th . Do we really need service pack 1 if we have service pack 2 installed? Version 2 is for service pack 2 and 1.1 is for service pack 1. "bryanl" wrote: > I am also having the same problem.

Ive tried over and over but still the same results. Am I > missing something? I got the same problem, solved it like so: 1) Download the update (KB928366) from the Microsoft Download website: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=281fb2cd-c715-4f05-a01f-0455d2d9ebfb&DisplayLang=en When running the update it asks for a file called "netfx.msi". 2) To get "netfx.msi" (if it's not on your harddrive), download the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en This is a file called "dotnetfx.exe". Use WinRAR to open the file. Among the file in the archive you'll see "netfx.msi". Extract this file somewhere. 3) Point the KB928366-updater to the file "netfx.msi" you just extracted. Installation will continue normal and the update will finish without an error. Hope this might be of some help!

If you happen to have a rarer 64 bit version, server OS, or SOMETHING else follow the same general instructions but get the version of the files appropriate for your system but first, Microsoft has pissed me off beyond belief.

I thought it was a familiar feeling...nice branding...this is a huge humiliation for their .NET team in my opinion or perhaps we should start calling them the .NOT team...anyway.... Steps: 1) Go to the control panel and select the add/remove software tool then TRY and remove everything with .NET in the name. If you can remove everything go to step 3. If you cannot remove everything go to step 2. 2) Go and download the windows installer clean up tool at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 run the windows installer clean up tool and BE CAREFUL to only select the .NET items from the list and remove them. Note: this will likely leave the names as "dead links" in the Add/Remove Software list (ahhh ...Microsoft thoroughness at its best) but not to worry they will do no harm and will get fixed when we finish. It's possible to clean them up but let's stay out of the registry :-) 3) Go and get the file "dotnetfx.exe" this is ".NET 1.1" from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en install it. 4) Go and get the file "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" this is the ".NET 1.1 service pack 1" from: my personal website (JUST KIDDING, RELAX...get everything of course from a microsoft.com domain) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A8F5654F-088E-40B2-BBDB-A83353618B38&displaylang=en install it. 5) Install the SECURITY patch, the dreaded KB928366, we have all grown to hate. You can install it from the Windows Update program (be sure to ONLY select the KB928366 patch and NOTHING else, we dont want to put back 2.0 or 3.0 yet). It's OK go ahead and click ...it will be alright...you can do it...it's just one more time... :-) 6) Re-run the Windows Update and you can add back in .NET 2.0 and 3.0 7) Post to thank me... Now WHY hasn't Microsoft posted instructions yet? .... What is UP?! Good night! George

Any particular reason why it would not be a good idea to uninstall .net 1.1 and .net 2.0 and then install .net 3.0 which does not need any service patch? Thanks, rmd
Guest zzz223@aol.com Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I was also having the same problem with Windows Update. Tried everything from completely uninstalling 1.1 to editing the registry, etc. What a waste of time. Finally realized that maybe Windows Update was the problem. Here is what I did that worked! I run Win2k pro. First I turned off all virus, spyware and firewalls programs!! Then I downloaded, saved to my computer and reinstalled NetFramework 1.1 (dotnetfx.exe) Next I downloaded, saved to my computer and reinstalled NetFramework 1.1 SP patch (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe) Next I downloaded, saved to my computer and installed Netframework 1.1 security update KB928366....the one that kept failing... (NDP1.1sp1- KB928366-X86.exe) Rebooted, let Windows update do its thing and BINGO all is well. Somehow, trying to perform this update from the Microsoft servers just wouldn't work, but if I save all to my harddrive and turned everything off, it updated without any problems. Good luck. SG

Guest Goofy_Brained Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I too have had many attempted installations of this update. I finally downloaded the update and tried update directly with nojoy BUT got details indicating the update was searching for netfx.msi (in default windows document folder location for the administrator account). I found the original dotfx.exe.. extracted the netfx.msi.. put that into folder with the KB928366 update (NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe) and it installed (FINALLY !!) I then had to reboot (due to the continuing explorer lockup) and the auto install for this update showed up. So I clicked on the update shield and it now installed (re-installed) sucessfully as well. and NO FURTHER Update Notices. SOMETHING about needing the netfx.msi in the same folder as the update worked here anyways.

Total reformat over a weekend. No you're not missing anything. Microsoft is. The screwed up and know it. As I painfully learned today, this is a common problem. Free Microsoft security support has been swamped with phone calls at 866-727-2338. Fortunately they're being very nice about it and walk you through the steps to overcome the installation problems for the ,Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0 security updates issued July 10, 2007. The bizarre nature of this is that tech support told me that these updates work fine if you do not already have .net framework 1.1 or .net framework 2.0 installed -- heck, why would you update them if you don't have them already installed? Such is the joy of dealing with tech support overseas at 2 a.m. their time. Also you need to keep the 3 versions of .net framework on your computer (1.1, 2.0, and 3.0) -- they are not cumulative. Different applications require different versions of .net framework to function. I'll try to repeat their step by step instructions so you don't have to call. It worked fine on my Windows XP Pro, SP2 computer it did not work on my wife' similar computer. Read through them first before you do anything -- especially the caution at the end. The steps from Microsoft Security Tech Support and from Aaron Stebner's Weblog at upnet.notlong.com -- Microsoft Tech Support actually took me there first. (1) Try to perform a standard uninstall of the .net framework for which you could not install the July 10 security update. Of course, you do this in the Control Panel's Add-Remove Programs. (2) If this fails to completely remove the .net framework you've targeted, then you'll want to download the tool from Stebner's Weblog -- this is the tool that Microsoft Tech Support uses and recommends. The file name is dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip . Unzip the file and run it. You will get to choose which versions (1.0, 1.1, 2.0) of .net framework you want to uninstall and clean up. While Mr. Stebner warns against simply uninstalling the .net frameworks, Microsoft Tech Support had me run this tool without first attempting the standard uninstall. On my computer this worked just fine. Stebner warns: There are a couple of very important caveats that you should read before using this tool to cleanup .NET Framework bits on your machine: 1. You should try to perform a standard uninstall first. This tool is not designed as a replacement for uninstall, but rather as a last resort for cases where uninstall or repair did not succeed for unusual reasons. 2. This cleanup tool will delete shared files and registry keys used by other versions of the .NET Framework. So if you use it, be prepared to repair or reinstall any other versions of the .NET Framework that are on your computer to get them to work correctly afterwards Download the tool completely uninstall .net frameworks 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. (3) Reboot your computer after uninstalling/cleaning up the .net frameworks you want to remove. NOte that when you restart your computer, any application that is dependent on a .net framework version that you uninstalled will not work. Be patient -- they'll work once you've reinstalled the appropriate .net framework(s). (4) Run Windows Update - custom. It should show all of the .net frameworks not currently installed on your computer. Now you have probably not worried about .net framework 3.0 since there was no security update for it. But there is a regular update for it. You will probably find these .net frameworks under "High Priority," but more likely under "Software, Optional." You can download ALL of the .net frameworks and updates that are visible to you here -- 1.1, 2.0, 3.0. (5) After they've installed, reboot your computer. (6) Now, the .net framework 1.1 that you just installed includes the latest security update (Microsoft made this change today, July 12, 2007). You should NOT try to install that update. So you should go back to Microsoft Update, choose custom, and if it shows the .net framework 1.1 security pack update tell Microsoft Update not to show it any more. Apparently Microsoft Update thinks you didn't install it because it was built into the 1.1 that you just installed. (7) If you uninstalled .net framework 2.0, you should have been able to reinstall it via Microsoft update. If it did not show up in Microsoft update, you can track it down online via a search engine or at Microsoft.com and download it and install it manually. CAUTION. Frankly, you would be most prudent to clone your hard drive before running these updates -- just to give yourself some protection. On my wife's Windows XP Pro, SP2 computer, the .net framework 1.1 reinstall did not take and I could not install it because I started getting Runtime errors from the Microsoft Visual C++ RunTime Library. So I had to revert to a clone after copying all the data (the D partition) to the clone's D partition.

Guest codeaholic Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I have this problem as well. Currently its occuring on a live production server. Most of the suggested fixes is to "uninstall asp.net" and "reinstall". These are simple not viable options for me. In addition, I need asp.net 1.1 as well asp.net 2.0 operational on the server at all times. Why doesn't someone from Microsoft fire the person that created the problem and get this fixed? -- codeaholic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ codeaholic's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=27935 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=781035 http://forums.techarena.in

Guest Tony P Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 K928366 won't install - found a solution I was having this problem on a Dell Inspiron. I killed off all non-essential processes, started the update, and then killed explorer.exe too. I don't know what was causing the update to abort, but here are some things that were running: kpf4ss.exe kpf4gui.exe (Sunbelt Personal Firewall) Googletoolbarnotifier nvsvc32.exe (NVidia) EM_EXEC.exe (Logitech) appservices.exe (Iomega) acs.exe (Atheros) EggHeadCafe.com - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com
