the new october .net framework security updates for 1.1,2.0, & 3.5 for XP are
not installing. I keep getting a "failed" message after all 3! Help!

Same thing happening to me on Vista, does anyone please have an answer
....Thanks

Installed many updates. Only .net 1.1 failed. V2.0 installed OK in XP
Pro. Tried restart and ran Windows Update again. 1.1 failed again.

I am having the same problem! 0x645 error code this happened once before and
a microsoft tech had me uninstall netservices and then download the updates.
i tried this to no avail. help!

This is what I got from Microsoft

===================
The issue can be caused by a corrupted windows update folder. At this time,
let us try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.

1. Click "Start", "Run", type: "notepad C:\remove.bat" (without quotations)
and press Enter. Choose "Yes" when you are prompted.

2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window.

net stop wuauserv

net stop CryptSvc

ren %windir%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old

ren %windir%\SoftwareDistribution sold.old

net start CryptSvc

net start wuauserv

3. After you paste the above commands, please close the "Notepad" window.
Choose "Yes" when you are prompted to save the file.

4. Click "Start", "Run", type: "C:\remove.bat" (without quotations) and
press "Enter" to run the commands that were pasted.

After we have finished the above steps, please restart the computer and try
to update Windows again.

Hey Wilkins, i triedyour fix and restarted and tried installing updates but
it failed again.I have tried about 2o times and my review history keeps
showing error 0x643.I also tried a search for flash.ocx and swflash.ocx and
found two instances of flash.ocx and removed them but this also didn't do the
trick.One thing that did happen though is that yellow update shield is gone
advising me updates are now available to install.I tried manuel installation
as i said and this failed as i said.Got any other remedies?

On the MS Update website, there is a link somewhere (sorry, I forget where)
that says something about contacting Microsoft. I think the link is under
your update history (failed) somewhere. Microsoft is very responsive. Over
the years I've had 2-3 issues with updates and they have always e-mailed me
and resolved the issue, even if it took a few days/trys.

Same happening to me ... the self-help path says (basically) there's a
problem with the .NET installation so uninstall _ALL_ .NET stuff then
reinstall it _ALL_. Then says it can be done manually using the Control Panel
Add/Remove programs or via a not-guaranteed-to-work cleanup tool.

Seems like a long-winded solution to a problem that shouldn't exist? (I'm
not a developer and .NET is a mystery to me - I have no direct need to use
it, but somehow I must???)

Here is the reason for the
"Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows
7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 (KB953297)"

Not installing.

I found when I checked the windows install
cleanup utility, that the .NET Framwork 1.1
was no longer installed. I checked the add or
remove programs, clicked on it and tried to
uninstall it only to be told that the program
was not presently installed. I can only
assume that either NET 2 over wrote it or
somehow the program became lost.

You should reinstall
from MS Downloads
1.1 NET redistribution pk
dotnetfx.exe 23,698kb

Then you will have to download Service Pack 1
from MS Downloads
NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe
and install it.
""NOTE""
The installation will say
you have sp1 already installed do you wish
to continue"
Say yes or the other Fixes will not
install.

Next install 1.1 sp1 hot fix
from MS Downloads
NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe

Finally you can install the Oct 09
fixes.
either from the MS Update site
or
from MS Downloads
NDP1.1sp1-KB953297-X86.exe

I spent the better part of yesterday at the office
working on this problem. to no avail. I appreciate all the other helpful
posts, but your advice did the trick! I just fixed the same problem on my
home desktop following your method. I had never used the windows install
cleanup utility before either. I think it might help solve some problems
I've had with updates to MSO 2003.

i am having the same problem cannot download net frame 1.1 security pack what
can i do to resolve this

Pillsbury, i uninstalled .NET Framework 1.1 from the Win Install cleanup
utility,but i didn't reboot my PC and the yellow shield is till at bottom
advising me to install updates.I am a little confused .Could you step by step
explain procedure?? After i remove .Net Fraework from Win utility cleanup,do
i need to rebooy my PC before going to to Win UPdate and reinstalling the
NDP1.1 u[pdates you mentione here? Confused

The thread starting with Pillsbury provides a solution that worked great for
me. I also had the Windows Cleanup Tool from the last time I had this
problem. It clearly appears that are certain computers .net framework 1.1
gets wiped out with future downloads. I have not saved on the one computer I
have this problem with in a folder all of the files recommended

Worked perfect for me also. I likewise have had this happen before. I have
saved all your files in a folder on the computer with the problem. I have 7
computers and this problem only occurs on one of them each time. THANKS!!!

I am not a computer guy just a user but I was able to download the file
easily. I had to first go to the entire Microsoft Download file to find it.
You also cannot use the Microsoft Update approach but must go right to site.

DED, i tried as i said Pillsbury's instructions but it aint working for me,I
am confused i am not getting anywhere,what am i doing wrong,please someone
help!!

If you use Firefox 3.5, don't touch that one for .NET 3.5. Microsoft just
royally insulted all Firefox users and tried to ruin Fx. Mozilla put them in
their place by sending a block signal to all computers using Fx 3.5. I hope
Mozilla sues the pants off Microsoft for what they tried to do to Firefox.
The update for .NET 3.5 installs a plug-in SILENTLY (yet again...Microsoft
pulled this same crap earlier this year with Fx silent install that hurt Fx
and got criticized for it and now they do it again and even worse this
time). The plug-in is for Windows Presentation Foundation which is a part of
..NET 3 and 3.5. That plug-in in Microsoft installs silently (or did until
Mozilla sent a block signal Friday to all Firefox installations) makes Fx
worthless as a browser because it makes it totally open to drive by malware
installations. Microsoft has no business rewriting Firefox code silently
without the express permission of the user (and for that matter they should
also ask Mozilla for permission to rewrite code for a rival browser).
Geeez.....

If you don't have reason to need .NET 2, 3 and 3.5 just get rid of them.
They cause nothing but problems and practically no applications that most
people use depend on any of them except maybe .NET 1.1 which is the smallest
and best behaved of them.
