    Cannot install update KB979906 for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1

    Running : Windows XP media center edition SP3
    Have tried installing KB979906 a few times and also downloaded update
    manually but cannot install this update. Receiving error 0x643.Is it safe to
    uninstall the .NET Framework 1.1 and re-install as possibly corrupt , without
    having to uninstall/re-install all other .NET frameworks 2 , 3 and 3.5
    including the updates that go with them? ..

    you might want to look at the following kb article to see if this will help
    with the error 80070643.
    <http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error-80070643>

    Followed link and used repair tool for .NET Framework then
    tried to re-install update with no success.I took a chance and just
    un-installed the .NET 1.1 framework from add/remove programmes which also
    removed all the previous 1.1 Framework fixes with it.I then re-installed it
    via windows updates with success.I restarted computer and then checked for
    windows updates as normal which included KB979906 and it installed perfectly
    without any errors.The earlier hotfixes did not appear as necessary updates
    so i can only imagine they are now no longer required as KB979906 perhaps
    incorporates all necessary fixes but i am only guessing.
    Luckily i did not have to uninstall all other .NET frameworks 2 , 3 and
    3.5 and reinstall them which would be a long process but the quick
    alternative worked ok for me (so far)....

    Same thing happened when we tried to update. 2 people updated, 2 people .Net
    not working.

    It seems these two are causing the problems:
    KB979909
    KB982168

    We are refraining from updating the rest of the computers until we know
    what's going on.

    It's .net. They barf. Their "servicing" process sucks. There's no way
    to predict what machines may have patching issues or not. You just have
    to be ready when .NET has updates.

    Who has time for this? Is this why people switch to Mac Computers?

    Thanks for this cogent method to solve the problem. This was the first time I
    have had a problem with a MS Update (KB979906).

    It took nearly two hours to fix the darn thing, but it DID work.

    As I was removing all of the .NET Framework pieces manually, I noticed that
    the ADD/REMOVE programs screen from the control panel indicated that NONE of
    these programs had ever been used since they were installed. If that
    information is accurate, I am wondering why I have this stuff installed in
    the first place!

    First run the Fix It in this KB article & see if the update will install
    after doing so:

    How to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971187

    If no joy, see...

    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

    Then proceed per the following:

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

    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 this related KB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100

    After running the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool (not the Windows Installer
    Cleanup utility!), reinstall 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.

    What's going on is that the updates aren't installing on the 2 computers.
    Who knows why but only you can fix it.

    See my previous reply or...

    Programs and applications that were installed by the OEM or you have
    installed require the .NET Framework in order for them to function.
    ATI's Catalyst Control Center and Quicken are 2 such apps/programs
    amongst many others.

    That fix method will only make matters worse if .NET Framework 3.5 (SP1) is
    installed & removed!

    You're welcome & thanks for your feedback.

    Had to run this same scenario last October for KB953297. It gets irritating
    to have to run this time consuming fix again in less than 1 year. Would like
    to underline the word irritating.

    I run a network of over 200 machines and use WSUS to deploy our
    Windows/Microsoft patches. Since patch tuesday (2 days ago) kb979906
    kb979909 were approved and sent out to all machines.

    We now have 68 (and increasing) machines all showing errors trying to
    install those two patches!!

    A full removal of .net is simply not an option so this is very
    frustrating - I'll watch this thread with interest...

    I just fixed it by running dotnetfx.exe. That fixed/reinstalled .NET 1.1. I ran the update again and all is fine. (And I have .NET up to 3.5 SP1 installed)

    I started this thread looking for an answer and although i recommend
    PA BEAR [MS MVP]'s solution of complete removal and intallation of all the
    ..NET Frameworks in correct prescibed order as being safest method, i took a
    risky shortcut (as i always do) and just uninstalled the .NET 1.1 Framework
    alone and then just reinstalled it again as i am a bit lazy.I was very
    pleased when i checked for updates the problem KB979906 was there and
    installed perfectly without a hitch.I have had no problems since then
    (although it is early days). I think the problem is that the .NET 1.1
    Framework has become corrupt with all the fixes and patches so a simple
    re-installation does the trick.
    I hope you could maybe try this as an option for all your computers but
    don't blame me if it is unsuccessful. I am practical but no computer buff. It
    is worth a try though if your only other alternative is complete removal /
    re-installation of all .NETs. on all 200 machines.

    I'm afraid that solution won't work for me. I've had my machine for less than
    two years from Dell and it's the second time it's had this corruption - the
    only way to fix it was to backup my stuff and reinstall everything...

    I suspect this problem is never really going to go away, simply because it's
    the way Dell fiddle with the OS so their hardware can work! Isn't there just
    a simple direct-download link for this file like everything else?

    That was an AT&T vulnerability, not an Apple vulnerability as originally
    reported.

    Yeah, people are switching - or simply buying Macs to begin with -
    especially students. I run Hackintosh on all my home PCs for better
    performance than I can get with Windows 7.

    Ok, I am going to post this alternative in hopes that it works for someone
    else:
    Download the manual install file from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...c-492b63a18b96
    Save the file then shutdown all programs (IM Programs like MSN and Yahoo,
    Outlook, etc) that access the internet. Next turn off ALL internet
    communications and disable the wi-fi.
    Run the downloaded program and it should install without incident.
    Worked for me & I didn't have to reinstall the .NET framework.

    I have a HP dx5150 that wouldn't install KB979906. It was looking for the .msi file in c:\Compaq\DotNetI. This machine has c:\Compaq\DotNet. I downloaded .NET Ver 1.1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
    Did a system restore and then installed the download. Retried KB979906 and all went fine.

    That is....I set a system restore point.

    Here's what works for me, and how I got there. Note that I'm a mac user, and
    don't have the patience for the long drawn up fixes.

    A long time ago, I ran into a similar problem. An old version of Norton
    Utilities found a several missing files in the .Net installations. I copied
    these files from backups, ran the updaters, and everything seemed to work. I
    also saved a copy of the missing files in case the problem recurred. It did.

    This time around, here's what was missing from my installation:
    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\_dataperfcounters.h

    In the past, other files that have disappeared include
    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CORPerfMonSymbols.h

    After copying these files over, I ran Windows update, and the patch worked
    this time.

    Your results may vary.

    Re: Cannot install update KB979906 for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1

    Had same problem. Tried most fixes listed above including full uninstalls of the whole string of .nets. Ran the fixit.. etc etc etc. Nothing worked.
    Reinstalled all net versions starting with 3.5 and worked back.

    Reinstalled original net (1.0) and then 1.1 but no luck

    The sequence that finally worked is:

    Uninstalled net 1.1 using add/remove but the program wouldn't
    disappear from add/remove programs list.

    Used the following method to remove the registry key and net 1.1 disappeared from add/remove programs list

    Then manually removed the net 1.1 directory.
    Then ram ccleaner registry tool and deleted all 1.1 keys that appeared as problems.
    Then reinstalled 1.1 redistributable pkg
    Then ran 1.1 sp1 patch
    (both available from ms)
    then ran the auto update kb979906 --- the update took a while but voila .. success.

    Although I spent a bit of time, the final sequence of steps that worked took perhaps 30 mins.

    MS should pay us for fixing their problems -- I wont even go the problems uninstalled one care had on the win xp firewall ----- luckily i have xp pro as it allows access to group settings.

    Now, if someone wants to help me with a REAL CHALLENGE, give me a 30 minute fix for the hp solution center 'cant find an HP device' error that keeps me from utilizing a great all in one printer with OCR.

    By the way, I'm new to techarena but the structure the forum web pages is very good and in trying to fix update error Ive been to quite a few forum sites!

    I'm using XP Pro SP3. I've got the same KB979906 won't install problem.
    I've downloaded a copy of the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 file, dotnetfx.exe.
    If I uninstall .NET Framework 1.1 using the Add or Remove Programs function
    in Control Panel, and then run this dotnetfx.exe file, is that what you are
    describing you have done that worked?

    That is exactly what i did but had to reload the PC before the KB979906 would successfully install.

    1. Uninstalled .NET Framework 1.1 SP1
    2. Ran dotnetfx.exe
    3. reloaded PC
    4 Installed the KB979906 update.

    This worked for me, I'm not an expert so I can't say why or if it will work for others.

    Re: Cannot install update KB979906 for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1

    I had this repeated error for over a month, and have tried just about all the recommendations listed here. I am running Vista with SP-2 installed. I especially tried the removal and re-install of all the .NET versions listed on my computer several times, and nothing worked!

    I finally tried a manual download and install of the update KB979906 and it worked! Dunno how much of all my thrashing around contributed to my success, but I do know that an attempt to install via Winders Update just prior still wouldn't install it, and would give the error 643, as it had been doing for the last month.

    Re: Cannot install update KB979906 for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1

    TO ALL EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.....
    I tried to download windows update important but to no avail. Windows service pack 1...
    I contacted microsoft and they emailed back with 3 possible links to rectify this problem. TO NO AVAIL.........
    I downloaded a free app, IOBIT SYSTEM CARE...
    What an amazing free programme. There is a security button on the easy to negotiate interface, access this and it searches for security holes in the system. Sure enough, immediately it told me that service pack 1 update neede to urgently be downloaded. Tell me something new. So, I tried again with them and hit the download now button, and after restarting when told the download was successful, viola, windows reports the system is UP TO DATE AND SAFE......
    This programme has got my vote, and with an added turbo boost, approved file and document shredder, and quick care option, coupled with its free, with optional upgrade, what can I say more. I hope it helps you as it did me, where as microsoft could not....
