Guest Bob Pond Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Thank you George, it appears to have worked! The answer to your question could be the following: Some bugs have become resistant to insecticide sprays and require deeper analysis for their removal which appears to be beyond the current abilities of our friends at Microsoft. Perhaps this serves to illustrate that they are merely a bunch of aerosols!

This is soo messy! Help! Unfortunately, if you use Office or any number of Corel programs, as well as others, they are now broken, and you will now have to uninstall and reinstall them too, also using Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Windows Installer Cleanup Utility has a major downside, and I'm not sure why no one is warning users to uninstall certain programs first (because you won't be able to repair or uninstall them afterward in the usual manner). The best thing to do if you're having a problem with KB928365 and KB928366 is to open a case with Microsoft, tell them you do not want to use WICU, and get further instructions. This serves the twofold purpose of letting Microsoft know just how many people are affected, as well as providing a spur to fixing WICU so that its use does not break other programs. rl > "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote: > >> Do you have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed? >> If not, download and install it: >> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en >> >> -- >> Carey Frisch >> Microsoft MVP >> Windows - Shell/User >> >> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> >> "Flodo" <Flodo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:85D9B3DD-FBA5-4800-A436-A57FA9F777C1@microsoft.com...

Guest Ruma Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 This was helpful. Thanks Carey. While trying to install from this download, it complained that I did not have .NET 1.1 SP1. So I downloaded and installed that as well. And after installing .NET 1.1 SP1, I 928336 again and it succeeded.. Thanks Carey!!

However, when I do install, I repeatedly get the same message: 'Following updates were not installed: Security Update for Microsoft.NET Framework Version 1.0 Service Pack 3 (KB928367). In Googling for help I came across your post, that seemed understandable to me, so I tried it. To the best of my knowledge, I followed your steps, to the letter. But I must have erred somewhere in the final steps. In executing step #4, I receive a message that I already have ".NET 1.1 service pack 1" installed and do I want to install over it, to which I clicked OK(?). In step #5, running Windows Update doesn't result in, "SECURITY patch, the dreaded KB928366", but rather, 'Following updates were not installed: Security Update for Microsoft.NET Framework Version 1.0 Service Pack 3 (KB928367). Perhaps this is of no help, but I did have to opt for step #2 to since Control Panel wouldn't delete the '.NET' entries. Checking just now I see the '.NET' entries(.NET [kb886906], .NET 1.1, .NET 1.1 Hotfix [kb928366], and .NET 2.0) still listed in Control Panel. From the beginning, I have been searching for remedies for (KB928367), yet, this forum is addressing (KB928366), is that an issue? If you have any further ideas or 'fixes', let me know. If it is not inappropriate, could you email me any feedback (srt4me@cox.net), since I don't know that I will be able to navigate back to this forum again. Thank you for your patience and thoughts.

Guest Hopefully Helping Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I also tried to download KB928366 directly and recieved a similar message. My message read that the path could not be found, verify access to the location or try to find the installation package "netfx.msi" in a folder which can install the product Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1. I notice that you searched for "netfix.msi" with an i, instead of "netfx.msi" without an i. Maybe that is what your computer is looking for but, you may want to double check and be sure you are looking for the correct file. What I did was, from the start menu, I ran a search for "netfx.msi" on all my computers files and folders. I got zero results but, noticed that the search had not included hidden files. I used advance search to search in the hidden files as well. It was found at my "c:\hp\drivers\hpiz423\setup". Using the start menu, I selected "My Computer". Then I selected my hard disk drive "C:". In the upper left hand corner under "System Tasks", I selected "Show the contents of this drive". Once the contents were available I went back to Windows updates and tried "KB928366" again and was successful. Thus far I haven't noted any adverse effects and everything seems to be working properly and I haven't had any more trouble with my updates. But if you go this route do not forget afterwards to go back to your "C:" drive and under "System Tasks", "hide the contents of this drive". I wish you the best and hope this will help you to successfully download "KB928366".

Guest Papo Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 It feels as if Microsoft fixes are worse than the virus, and to try to apply them is so costly in wasted precious time that it is best to forget them altogether.

Guest MiMi Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I installed the Removal tool. I have removed all .NET framework related items. I have reinstalled them directly from the Microsoft website. KB928366 still fails and the little Security center balloon pops up and wants to reinstall all .NET items and says it has done so successfully and fails to download KB928366. I have tried tried this a number of times on both my computers. I found a related article that gives a phone number for free support, but they refused the free support because I purchased an OEM.

Guest mby Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I have also tried downloading and installing this several times, completely without success! I get the same error message as Flodo and others, even after manually re-installing .NET 1.1 and .NET 1.1 SP1 and so forth. This worked on one of my XP Pro systems with a different motherboard (an Asus), but it has never worked for this system's mobo (an Intel DG33TL). Note that this system is brand new and I only installed XP Pro SP2 two days ago. All other Windows Updates downloaded and installed correctly. Also, there are not many installed apps, so the fault clearly lies with Microsoft. I should also point out that I got the same error message when I tried it in Safe Mode.

Guest Gustav Brock Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 The trick for me was to download (thanks for the link) and run the install manually. This popped a message that .Net 1.1 SP1 was not installed (which is was). Anyway, a reinstall of SP1 cured the problem.
