.NET update failure (KB928366)

[Dake]

Hi,

I suggest we let MS know, if they don't already, about this problem and get
an official fix. Couldn't find a fix so they either don't know or ?

Here's the info on this update from the Knowledge Base. There is a place to
comment at the end--consider telling MS that this update is failing:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=928366

RE: .NET update failure (KB928366)

Here is EXACTLY what you do to solve this problem for Windows XP 32
bit. 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 looked in my log and this same
thing happened 6/2006...thanks MSFT for torturing us again this year.
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/...E3-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/...4F-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

RE: .NET update failure (KB928366)

bob,

Thanks for your instructions however I have listed in my add/remove programs
..NET 1.1 as well as .NET 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903) but I can not remove them.
Also they are not listed when I run Windows Installer Clean Up so I am at a
loss as how to remove them.

Your help is appreciated.

RGDS & TIA

Re: .NET update failure (KB928366)

Go here to download and install the .Net Framework removal tool
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspx. With this
tool, remove all versions of the .Net Framework that is installed on your
system. After all the .Net Framework software is removed from your system,
restart your system. Download and install .Net Framework 1.1 then go back
to the Windows Update site and install the update for .Net Framework 1.1.
Download and install .Net Framework 2.0 - then go back to the Windows Update
site and install updates for the .Net Framework 2.0. Download and install
..Net Framework 3.0 then go to Windows Update and install any updates for
..Net Framework 3.0 if there are any.
