Guest PrairieSpirit Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Hi everyone, I know that many of you have been having terrible problems with updates of the recent Net Framework. This is what I did (after remembering what I did before when this occured---Oh yes it happened before) to fix the problem and it worked nicely. This worked on windows XP SP2 MCE (media center edition) I uninstalled ALL Net Framework software on the computer. Now when you do this, you may get error's upon rebooting after this uninstall due to some software depending on Net Framework. I clicked ok on this error msg's and they quite after a bit. Then go to updates and update starting from Net Framework 3.0 then 2.0 and then 1.0 and all associated patches and update to them in that order. It all went well with no error's or update problems. I know, this is backwords but this is the way it has to be done for some reason and this is the way I did it before and so did everyone else I wrote to. Just make sure it is from 3.0 down to 1.0 and updates and patches in that order. Most will not have any problem with doing this. It worked for me and I hope it works for everyone else. There is also a cleanup tool that can be used to make sure all of it is uninstalled correctly and what the cleanup tool does not do, go to your normal uninstall in the control panel and use that. I found the cleanup tools here: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/11/20/warning-net-framework-3-0-cleanup-tool-removes-final-release-of-sql-express.aspx Hope it all works out for everyone.....
Guest sherlockomes Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Hi PrairieSpirit.The problem is in the "Hotfix update" for the .NET 1.1 framework. All you have to do to rectify problem is to remove all .NET 1.1 framework items in the add/remove programme section.Once the .NET framework 1.1 has uninstalled it automatically removes the hotfix that appears to have been causing the problem.Restart computer and then go back to windows update and reinstall : .Net framework 1.1 ,service pack 1.1 update for framework 1.1 and then then update KB928366 should install without a problem . cheers Scotty.

Guest PrairieSpirit Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Hi Scott, I did that and tried what you suggest below and it did not work for me. So that is why I uninstalled all Net Framework and reinstalled starting with Net Framework 3.0 back to 1.0 with all hot fixes. Why it did not work, I have no idea, but I did try what you suggest. Being that it is Windows XP SP2 MCE could be the difference, as I have found Media Center Edition is not all the cooperative with many things and if I had my way, I would not have MCE at all. Thanks for the note, much appreciated.

Guest PrairieSpirit Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 What I would do in this case and go and get the cleanup tool mentioned above in other note and see if that helps. I would also check out SL32.tmp and see what it is. The cleanup tool should work and it is quite good at what it does. If all else fails, contact Microsoft and I hope all turns out alright for you. Next computer I get is going to be a MAC for I am more than sick of Microsoft problems now. No matter how good Microsoft claims to be, still things do not work correctly. Nice words to please the ears I guess is all you get from Microsoft lately. Ivan "renfest" wrote: > What I get is that it is installing then failed ..

Guest AM Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Yes I remember having to go through all of this too in the past, but all I uninstalled that time was just version 2 then reinstalled it and it worked fine. My question is, why do we need version 1 if you have version 2. Now I see there is a version 3, do we need versions 1 and 2? Are the newer versions just add ons for version 1 so that you would need to just keep the old versions and download the newer ones too in order for everything to work?

Guest sherlockomes Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 No probs Ivan: Just trying to save you time and energy from uninstalling all the 3 frameworks.As long as you got there in the end.Am just reading that some people can't even uninstall the .NET frameworks from their computers.It's beyond me now.Im only an advanced novice!!... cheers anyway Scott.

My understanding of the .NET Framework family... 1.1 is patches to 1.0. So those two merge. 2.0 did not replace 1.1 - some apps you may run into may still utilize 1.1. 3.0 is 2.0+more. SO if you have 3.0, you can do all the 2.0 stuff and 3.0 stuff. Someone might correct me - but I am pretty sure that is the way of things right now. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Guest Stmar Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 When I go in and try to remove by way of Control Panel it tells me that the ..Net is on a removable disc therefore it cannot find the path and keeps asking me to install the disc. What do I do from here?? The Hotfix does the same thing when I try and remove it.

Guest PrairieSpirit Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 This question has been asked before and no one seems to get a answer, so I am assuming that they are dependent on each other for some reason. Common sense would dictate to me that only one would be enough, but it seems to be not so. Perhaps Microsoft can explain this to us and why we need all three. Yes I too am and have been readint that some cannot even uninstall without error'r or difficulty. It makes one wonder if this is all worth it. There are other operating systems (perhaps not as easy to install) that are just as effective without all the problems. I am in hopes that sometime durring this century perhaps Microsoft can make a OS without all the updates and difficulties it now has. Even Vista I read in many areas is somewhat a mess and hard to work with, go figure. This Net Framework (update) from what I am reading is a very difficult one and many are having some nasty problems. It would seem to me that if this is not working well or correctly Microsoft would do something about it and get right on the problem. But they take you through page after page of words and difficult proceedures that take time and in many cases things still do not work right for some. I myself, have grown very tired of a OS that constantly does not work correctly and so, next time I go to Mac. I am a computer technician myself and have been for 15 years and it seems it is always something with the Microsoft OS and products.

Guest omron Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Hi. While that might work just fine, I found a simpler (imho) solution. I just ran dotnetfx.exe and chose "Repair". After that I could install the update without problems. Hope this helps somebody.

Guest georgef Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 this does not work for me as when trying to uninstall, computer responds with error that can only uninstall software that is installed... apparently, even though 1.1 is listed in my control panel, my computer believes it is not installed "sherlockomes" wrote: > Hi PrairieSpirit.The problem is in the "Hotfix update" for the .NET 1.1 > framework. > All you have to do to rectify problem is to remove all .NET 1.1 framework > items in the add/remove programme section.Once the .NET framework 1.1 has > uninstalled it automatically removes the hotfix that appears to have been > causing the problem.Restart computer and then go back to windows update and > reinstall : .Net framework 1.1 ,service pack 1.1 update for framework 1.1 and > then then update KB928366 should install without a problem . cheers Scotty. > > "PrairieSpirit" wrote: > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I know that many of you have been having terrible problems with updates of > > the recent Net Framework.

Guest Darrell Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 I'm one of those that can't even uninstall .Net framework 1.1 and .Net framework 2.0 from Add/Remove programs. I tried removing 1.1 using the Windows Install Cleanup utility, it was removed from the list using the cleanup tool but 1.1 is still listed in Add/Remove programs. I then try to remove 1.1 again from Add/Remove programs and now I get a message " This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

My understanding of the .NET Framework family... 1.1 is patches to 1.0. So those two merge. 2.0 did not replace 1.1 - some apps you may run into may still utilize 1.1. 3.0 is 2.0+more. SO if you have 3.0, you can do all the 2.0 stuff and 3.0 stuff. Someone might correct me - but I am pretty sure that is the way of things right now. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Guest AM Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 I went ahead and did what I did the last time and it worked. What I did was uninstall .Net Framework, version 2.0 from add/remove programs, restarted and then reinstalled .Net Framework, version 2.0 found below. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en After I downloaded it again I went to updates and installed the new update and it was fine. Hope it works for someone else too. Thanks to everyone for different suggestions. It seems what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another.

Guest jws Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 So there are lots of ways to attack the problem, but no guarantees which one will (do the most collateral damage) or (be the least invasive) or (try in a certain order of "try this, if that don't work, go to this"). I've been a PC user for almost 20 years, but this might be the straw - MicroSoft's attitude about it really stinks too. Oh well, Uninstall Reinstall here we go. -- jws "Shenan Stanley" wrote: > AM wrote: > > Yes I remember having to go through all of this too in the past, > > but all I uninstalled that time was just version 2 then reinstalled > > it and it worked fine. > > > > My question is, why do we need version 1 if you have version 2.
