I was having a terrible time with this update for .Net framework 1.1, resorting to uninstall, using the Windows Installer Cleanup,
deleting file, directories, and registry entries manually, etc. I couldn't even install SP1 after successfully reinstalling
dotnetfx, let alone the new update.

I checked the registry and found the following doubleword value at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{CB2F7EDD-9D1F-43C1-90FC-4F52EAE172A1}

NoModify = 1

Changing the value to 0 allowed me to install the update. I also changed the NoRepair value to 0, just to be sure.

OK and how do you check for that and to make sure it a double value ? That
seems eaiser :)

Re: Simple solution for failed install on kb928366

You don't check to see if it's a doubleword - you check the value of NoModify at the location I specified. If it's '0', change
it to '1'. If it's a 0, updates won't run (the software won't allow itself to be modified).

Re: Simple solution for failed install on kb928366

It would be nice for us non-microsoft geeks to start enjoying our computers
again! Where do I go to find the registry, in order to change any values?
Please excuse my computer ILLiteracy.

RE: Simple solution for failed install on kb928366

There might be many different reasons for this patch not installing correctly
so could you please describe what was the error you were seeing while trying
to installing this patch ? That way everybody would know when this solution
will work.

Thanks,
Jamshed
