UPDATE PROBLEM

Microsoft has provided update o be installed in my Windows XP system.
However, I am consistently unable to install it. Why? the update is:
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)

Having the same issue here too, was just about to post the question what is
up with this but you beat me to it.

I got the error message ox643.

windows have to change programmers they sucks.

I am having the same problem and it started last week. I had to go out of
town for a few days and I am back to the same old trouble. Yikes!

Checked the forums, no answers that have helped.

Anyone @ MS listening?

I had the same problem and this worked for me:

I have the same Issue.I guess Micro Soft is armtwisting all of us to go for
Windows 7

Yeah, uh-huh...

Me too!! I get the message
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).
COME ON MICROSOFT GET YOUR FINGER OUT !! please

Worked for me also. Much eaiser to deal with than other stoff I found on
fixing this problem.

Tried "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1" and it failed. This was
in the error log.

[11/27/09,07:41:12] Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 'package': [2] Error:
Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 'package'. MSI
returned error code 1603

When I try
"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)"
I get
"

Which I don't have the energy to try right now. I guess Microsoft is saying
the way to make their .NET Framework safe is to remove it.

I have found myself in a similar scenario, one of my colleagues has directed
me to the link below, which talks about enabling IIS 6 Metabase
Compatibility. However on my Windows Server 2008, this was already set...

Net framework 1.1 SP 1
..NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update will not install
________________________________________
When installing updates using Windows update or Microsoft Update you may
receive Error 0x643 or 0x80070643 (23 Oct-09)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982

=====================

Step #1 => Before doing anything else, write down what .NET Framework
versions are currently installed:

How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed and
whether service packs have been applied
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785

Step #2 => Now see Resolution Method 2 in...

When you try to install an update for the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0,
or 3.5, you may receive Windows Update error code "0x643" or Windows
Installer error code "1603" (ignore the title, if need be)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100

After running the appropriate/needed tool, (re)install all .NET Framework
versions (but only the ones you wrote down in #1 above) manually using the
download links on the page then run Windows Update manually to install
security updates for same.

NB: If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 using the tool, reinstalling .NET
Framework 3.5 will also install .Net Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2; then
Windows Update will offer .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.

IMPORTANT! => If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, reinstall your .NET
Framework versions in the following order:

1. .Net Framework 3.5, then...
2. .Net Framework 1.1, then...
3. .Net Framework 1.1 SP1

NB: KB923100 references this page:
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...30/611355.aspx. Please read
ALL of it as well as the related page
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8904493.aspx before using the .NET
Framework Cleanup Tool.

Step #3 => Check-in at Windows Update and install any critical security
updates offered.

I considered pointing that out too. ; }
