KB953297 failed to install!

Unless you know that you specifically use it, I'd say the simplest 'fix' may be to just uninstall 1.1 SP1.
No update needed for something not installed.

Thanks, AB. I found THIS current discussion and see that the OP solved his problem by reinstalling version 1.1 "and then the new update installed fine."

When I go to Add/Remove Programs I see MS .Net Framework 1.1 and MS .Net Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB928366), both available to uninstall. Should I uninstall both of those...and, if so, in which order? Then, if I should want to re-install .Net Framework 1.1, do I have to first install .NET Framework 1.1 and then Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1? And finally, do I then try installing yesterday's update KB953297?

EDIT: BTW, I don't see anything about .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 in Add/Remove Programs & Updates. Should I?

I have only the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 installed, and it's listed as exactly that in A/R Programs. So I can't say how 1.1 would be listed, but it seems likely it would be the same way.

SP1 is 'all-inclusive' I believe, so there should be no requirement to already have 1.1 installed.

I'd imagine uninstalling 1.1 would take the hotfix with it, but I couldn't say definitively.
I'd check afterwards to see if the hotfix was still there.

I wouldn't try reinstalling anything 1.1 or 1.1 SP1 related unless I came across something that told me it required it.

I have personal experience myself (re: your first link) with having to reinstall a .NET in order to get it functioning properly.
.NET has somewhat of a history of being persnickety; one of the reasons why I suggest not even installing any particular version unless specifically needed.

Sucess!

How is this at all an acceptable method of fixing the installation of KB953297. I'm in a corporate environment and i'm having similar issues with a number of test machines.

MS, Please release an updates KB that does not require removals and re installs of these .Net Framework. That will cost me countless hours of work.

I can't install that security patch for .NET framework either. It says I don't have the SP1 for .NET framework 1.1 and refuses to install and then calls home to mommy to tattle and complain.

Of course, I have SP1. Dell installs .NET framework 1.1 SP1 because something of theirs uses it, I've forgotten what. This is the second Dell I've had since 2003 that it came installed on. I suppose it must be corrupted (.NET 1.1) and thus the SP1 isn't showing up.

Add-Remove programs says I have .NET3 still installed. I don't think so! I got so pissed at .NET3.5 some time ago that I thought I uninstalled all versions except 1.1.

The patch for .NET1.1 SANS SP1 is only for Media Center edtion of XP which I don't have so I don't need a patch at all.

There is a patch for .NET 3.5 on XP but none for .NET 3.0 so I don't need that either.

I just read at Microsoft NG that an earlier hotfix for .NET 1.1 SP1 is at the root of the refusal to install this latest patch. But that is not my problem because I don't have the earlier hotfix (KB928366).

Have you perchance considered a solution posted by Steely ?
It seems possible that may prove more effective than merely ranting about .NET in this thread.
Just a thought.

I am still unable to install this new update.

I downloaded NDP1.1SP-KB953297-X86.exe
and NDP1.1SP-KB867460-X86.exe
Neither one will install. One says cant find the source.

I have never had a problem with updates in 5 years with this computer.
What should I do? Thanks

I ended up calling Microsoft 866-PCSAFETY
After 1hour 30 min yesterday and 1 hour 50 today, they got it fixed. Not sure why uninstalling .net 1 was so difficult.

Of course I did, I spent over an hour on this site and others learning, and trying different things. Tried using the Windows removal tool, other stuff, still would not work.
