Microsoft.Net Framework 1.1, SP1 Will Not Install

[Lynn Quinlan]

Hi there,

Had to re-install my XP. Ran the Windows Update and then Microsoft Update.
Custom install. Had 96 items to download and install, including MS.NET
Frameworks. Have enabled Automatic Updating so I keep being reminded to run
this update. It keeps failing, with this message:

Some updates could not be installed.

The following updates were not installed.
Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1, Service Pack 1.

First. Is this an essential item that has to be installed? If so, how is
this best accomplished?

Second. If it is not required then how do I tell the system to stop
reminding me about installing this update.

Help much appreciated. Everything else ran just fine!

Thanks so much!

Lynn

Same here.

Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and download it, install, reboot and there you are

THis message happened to me also. Turns out I already had .net framework 2.0
and this is a more current version. System smart enough to know it didn't
need. I just went back into the install prompt and unchecked that update,
then said don't remind me again. (we don't automatically take updates...
view each one before we take).

Hello to all. I came across this thread as i was having the same issue. Good thing i did as this looks like a very resourceful forum.

I have automatic updates turned on. While the notification for the update was still in my taskbar i went to the update page and clicked 'do not remind me of this update again'. I then clicked on the notification in my taskbar and and let the update install. The install was successful. I then went back to microsofts update page and clicked 'restore hidden updates'. After that i scanned for updates again. None found. No more warnings.

It may have just been a fluke that this worked for me. Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.

I also cant install any .net components or versions.
I tried to follow the above instructions with no luck. I also tried
the instructions here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320112
only to get the following error (see attachement) when using the installer. I even upgraded the xp home installation to xp pro with sp3!! Same result. Any one have a clue?

Try to update or upgrade your Windows XP service pack and then look out for the updated pack of .NET framework application to be installed. It will be helpful and you may then be able to function as needed. Do check out by upgrading your pack of Windows Xp. I hope this application will then be installed well without any issue.
