Windows 7 64Bit Update KB953297 NET Framework

[MadeFL]

I installed windows 7 64 Bit just 3 weeks ago and so far it runs well. But
the update KB95297 NET Framework 1.1 SP1 will not install. So far it has
tried 16 times over the last 1.5 weeks. Checking my system I have NET
Framework 3.5 installed. SO why is there a service pack for 1.1?? If I
download the NET Framework 1.1 and want to install it - windows warns me that
there are compatibility issues under wndows 7 and I should not install it.

SO how can I get that update to install?

According to this article, .NET 1.1 SP1 is not an OS component of
Windows 7:
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...of-the-os.aspx

" Windows 7 (all editions) includes the .NET Framework 3.5.1 as an OS
component. This means you will get the .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2
and 3.5 SP1 plus a few post 3.5 SP1 bug fixes. 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 can
be added or removed via the Programs and Features control panel. "

So, the question is, how did .NET 1.1 SP1 get installed or detected by
the Windows Update Agent as being present on the system ?
It's not listed in Programs and Features, correct ?

Check the v1.1.4322 subfolder

Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

My x86 Win7 system shows only 2 .config files present at that location.
Perhaps x64 is different ?

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.

Is this procedure applicable to Windows 7? I'm thinking the .NET installers
probably won't work, since they significantly predate W7, and since W7 includes
3.5.1 as an OS component.

I also note that the process in KB318785 doesn't work as documented, even on
Windows XP; my machine has .NET 3.5 SP1 but only the v2.0.50727 folder contains
a mscorlib.dll file. Admittedly the article claims to only apply to versions
1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. Do you know what the equivalent procedure is for 3.x?

In short, I dunno. Win7 is NOT listed in the Applies To section of KB976982
or KB923100 but this wouldn't be the first time a KB article's not kept
fully updated, Harry, but your installer argument is certainly a valid one.

[Then again, if the OP (who hasn't posted any follow-up as of the reply) had
upgraded to Win7 from Vista or WinXP, all bets are off.]

As for your WinXP box, KB318785, and .NET 3.5 SP1:

- KB318785 now points to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/kb00318785.aspx
here (at least here & while signed-in to my Live ID)

- KB00318785 suggests that the folder
%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 would be present if .NET 3.5 was
installed; and...

- KB00318785 includes some of that [censored] Community Content, any of
which may prove helpful to you.

[Harry Johnston [MVP]]

Yes, I was looking at the same page you reference. The instructions are
unclear; you could assume that only folders with a copy of mscorlib.dll indicate
an installed version, or that the presence of one of the listed folders
indicates an installed version. Neither is correct!

The community content looks promising, particularly regarding the relevant
registry keys, but I haven't tried it.

OT: Looks like KB318785 is pointing to KB00318785 without being signed in to
a Live ID. Come to think of it, I did see something a while ago about (more
technical?) KB articles being moved to MSDN. Guess that's starting to
happen.
