RE: KB928365 and KB928366 PROBLEM SOLVED READ!!!!

Only this one worked for me....withall of the damned reboots and running no
other programs than this calls for (found elsewhere in these threads):

1. Download and install this
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...BD/msicuu2.exe
2. Run it (Windows Installer Clean Up) from the start menu
and look for/remove .NET Framework.
3. Reboot.
4. Download/install this
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...6/dotnetfx.exe
5. Reboot.
6. Download/install this:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...867460-X86.exe
7. Reboot.
8. Download/install this
http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...d81a178b15.exe
9. Reboot.

Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan
for/install critical updates.

I just tried the below, NDP1 will not install for me, says it cannot verify
the patch or something like that.

Glad to see this works for some, but certainly is not getting it for me. I
went ahead and tried visiting windows update again, still no go.

MS, has screwed up royally, with this update. I just hope I am not screwing
something on my system, but doing all of this...

Hi George, I'm trying to live happily ever after BUT ... have hit a snag. I
wonder if you can help?

I've deleted all the .NET installations, installed dotnetfx.exe, and then
I've tried to install the NDP.1 exe file. I then get the following message:

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by Windows Installer Service because
the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a
different version of the program. Verify that the program to be updated
exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."

I'm best at following instructions rather than working things out for
myself, so can you suggest what's to be done here?

1. Uninstall the .NET Framework version(s) in question;

2. Download and run this Uninstall Clean-up tool:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...4-97BD16967A09

3. Search the MS Download Center
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx) for the .NET Framework
version(s) you need to reinstall, then download & install them;

4. Download/install the update(s) via Windows Update or Automatic Updates.

As of this writing I still don't have the KB928366 update issue resolved. In
the past 3 weeks I have had 3 different support techs and none have been able
to fix this problem. Most of the solutions they gave me were the same ones
George had posted. The latest one completely cleaned all NET Framework files
but now I am unable to open the Windows OneCare Live. Someone questioned even
installing NET Framework, I don't know what other programs use it other than
Windows OneCare Live. One time I had problems with it and had to remove all
NET Framework programs and reinstall them. I can't help but think that the
money spent paying the 3 support techs would have been better spent if
Microsoft had designed another update to update the update. My confidence
level in Microsoft drops with each passing day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks George,
You should be paid by Microsoft.

At work I have discovered installing a Windows Installed update
(KB893803), I could install KB928365 without uninstalling any .NET
files. It has worked on several machines.

Hope this helps.

Hi George!

Your solution certainly made my day!

For more than a month I've been very annoyed by those icons popping up
and telling me that there is an update KB928366 which I need to have.
You bet I've tried to update but the icon still comes back. Looking in
the log of updates there is a number of green checkmarks from medio
July, but apperently something didn't get right. After applying your
solution everythings seems OK.

Again, thanks!

Bertila

thanks george. solved my problem. toobad m.s. couldn't. they are pathetic !!!
