KB951847 failed with Error Code: 0x643

2 Problems: 1) for the past 2 or 3 weeks, the Windows Update Manager asks for
Disk 1 every time I log on to Windows. What does this refer to? (It takes 5-6
tries to bypass this sequence of requests)
2) 2 hours ago I tried to check for missing updates. According to Update
Histroy Lorg All MS updates for the past 6 months were successful. I then
tried a new update and received a message that update KB951847 failed with an
Error Code of 0x643. Neither Google nor Microsort searchs give any indication
of what this error code means. I tried rebooting & then reinstalling this
failed update as well as the list of suggestions, except for trying SAFE
Mode, in kb/910339 without any success.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup.

1. Write down the .NET Framework versions which are already installed:

whether service packs have been applied

2. Now see Resolutions Methods 1 or 2 in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 (ignore the title). After running
the appropriate/needed tool, (re)install all .NET Framework versions
manually using the download links on the page.

Thank-you so far. I have WinXP SP3 installed on a Gateway 700GR Desktop with
1GB of physicsl memory available to Windows. I found the
%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder via the RUN Command. There is one
3.5 folder but I don't know how to tell if 3.5 SP1 is installed. The latest
entry in the \logs folder is dated 3/25/2008. I checked the last 40 MS
updates back to 10/4/08 without seeing any mention of .Net Framework updates.
Is there any any faster way to ck for the SP to version 3.5?

It looks like my intermediate reply got lost, so I am resending up to ****

I have WinXP SP# running on a Gateway 700GR Desktop. Using the RUN command,
I found one .Net Framework with version 3.5 . How far back will I have to
uninstall .Net Framework Folders in order to be able in successfully instal
..Net Framework updates without getting more 0x643 errors?

KB318785 tells you how to determine which version(s) of .NET Framework are
installed. KB923100 gives you two methods of removing all .NET Framework
versions (I'd recommend Method 2) and links to download/install the one(s)
you'll need to reinstall. See previous reply, please.

Also note that KB923100 gives you a link to no-charge support.

It didn't help the update still fails. Before trying this I ha
framework 1 SP3 1.1 SP1 and 3.5. (also framework 2 and 3 as part o
Vista) after doing what was suggested I installed 1 SP3 and 1.1 SP1 bu
I cannot even install 3.5. I tried installing by setup and the whol
package too

Is there anything else I can do except reinstall Vista? I also trie
the SFC to find and correct missing system files. I might go back to X
if I must reinstall. This same KB installed without any problems on m
other computer which has XP PRO. Thank
