Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5

[sapper]

Hello anyone- I would really appreciate it if someone can translate into
commonly understood language what this update is about and so on... in the
past I elected to ignore the SP1 update because of compatibility issues with
the Acer computer I am using.

As well the information in Microsoft is very limited in terms of the updates
so -

Anyone help me?

We've asked MS for clarification on KB951847 but there's been no public
response to-date.

Thanks- I'll look that over. I don't have SP1 and I understand the update to
NET Framework 2 Service Packs 1 and 2 to be appropriate and somewhat
critical. I suppose I'm just curious as to what the update does. Really- I'm
curious

Hey- good to know even you guys are slow getting that kind of technical
information- thing is I'm not about to drop something in to my computer
unless I know what it is.

For some reason when I try and install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service
Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x86 it does nothing
for a minute then comes up with an error messag saying Error Code: 0x643: Try
to install the update again, or request help from one of the following
resources. Anyone have any idea what to do?

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup.

1. Write down the .NET Framework versions which are already installed:

whether service packs have been applied

2. Now see Resolutions Method #2 in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100.
After running the appropriate/needed tool, (re)install all .NET Framework
versions manually using the download links on the page.

I am having the same problem. I have tried several times and a message
appears that it was not installed succesfully. Please let me know if you hear
of anything.

I am having the same problem. I have tried to install both several times and
the same error message appears. When I went to troubleshooting, that error
code didn't exist. Do you use Windows Live One Care? I recently purchased it
in December, and it has been since January 1st that I have been trying to
install that update. A friend informed me that could be the reason. Please
let me know if you know or find out anything. Thanks.

OS: Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 SP3
The .NET Framework update fails. The download is complet but the install
has failed repeatedly.

I have the same problem with the Silverlight update.

How might I get these updates to install?

[TaurArian]

You have two problems - I'll deal with Silverlight first, you'll have to fix
the installation and then update.

Hi,
I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 & .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix KB928366;
.NET Framework 2.0 SP2 beta; .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 beta &
..NET Framework 3.5 beta installed on my pc.
Windows Update keeeps informing me to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
SP1 & Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update KB951847 x86?
If I attempt to update with these two updates they both fail.
As .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is a cumulative update for previous .NET
Frameworks [2.0; 3.0; & 3.5] should I uninstall the individual Frameworks and
install the Cumulative Update or simply ignore the Update?

1. Before doing anything else, write down the .NET Framework versions which
are already installed:

2. Now see Resolution Method 2 in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100
(ignore the title). After running the appropriate/needed tool, (re)install
all .NET Framework versions manually using the download links on the page.

NB: You'll want to install .NET Framework 3.5 (not the beta).

3. Now run Windows Update manually.

On XP Home, I'm also having the same problem for some time now. I too have
OneCare whose icon is green then becomes yellow (missing update). So I click
on Install Update for MS NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and NET Framework 3.5 Family
Update. Although it does not give an error code, an Installation Summary of
Failed Update is provided. Initially I thought that, since I already had NEt
Framework 3.5 SP1 without the NET Framework 3.5 Family, I uninistalled it and
tried to install both from Windows update. The result was the same. It
simply reinstalled the first 3.5 SP1 but not 3.5 Family the the OneCare icon
turns green, but then becomes yellow again and I go through the same cycle
with the same result.

I was having the same error when installing Turbo Tax or the 3.5 update from
the Microsoft site. Running the .Net CLeanup tool mention in Method 2 of
article 923100 worked and I was able to install .Net 3.5 and SP1.

Maybe everything was OK from the get-go?...
