Re: KB953297 failed to install! 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. |

You were correct. Removing 1.1 also eliminated the old hotfix. I reinstalled 1.1 (sorry, had to try!), then 1.1 SP1, rebooted, ran Microsoft Update, selected KB953297...and...
Successful Updates
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 (KB953297)
Another member PM'd me that he/she was having the same issue on 2 of 4 computers. I'm sure there are more folks. The solution is to uninstall and then reinstall the version of .NET Framework associated with the failed security update. Thanks for your help!

It's still relatively small unlike 3.5. I really never use any of them except when I do Nlite installation and then I have to install 2.0 SP2. |

If I come across some software I want to install that needs a different version, then I'll install it.
Btw, here's a quote from Microsoft on SP2:
quote:
Overview
The .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 provides cumulative roll-up updates for customer reported issues found after the release of the .NET Framework 2.0. In addition, this release provides performance improvements, and prerequisite feature support for the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
»www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···ylang=en
I take the "cumulative roll-up updates" to be mostly what's in SP1. (Just my take on that. Maybe I'm wrong.)
My current version seems to perform just fine.
As I currently have no use for v. 3.5, I also don't currently need any prerequisite feature support.
I'd like to think my trials and tribulations with n-Lite are all behind me.  |
