Re: KB928366 failed



Thank you, George, for doing all the hard work and spending the time to detail
the solution for the rest of us. Just a note to those who will try these
steps
to avoid a Homer Simpson "Doh!" moment, be sure to turn off Automatic
Updates via the Control Panel/Security Center before you begin what
George suggests.

Here is EXACTLY what you do to solve this problem for Windows XP 32 bit.
If you happen to have a rarer 64 bit version, server OS, or SOMETHING
else follow the same general instructions but get the version of the
files appropriate for your system but first, Microsoft has pissed me
off beyond belief. I looked in my log and this same thing happened
6/2006...thanks MSFT for torturing us again this year. I thought it was
a familiar feeling...nice branding...this is a huge humiliation for
their .NET team in my opinion or perhaps we should start calling them
the .NOT team...anyway....

Steps:
1) Go to the control panel and select the add/remove software tool then
TRY and remove everything with .NET in the name. If you can remove
everything go to step 3. If you cannot remove everything go to step 2.

2) Go and download the windows installer clean up tool at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

run the windows installer clean up tool and BE CAREFUL to only select
the .NET items from the list and remove them. Note: this will likely
leave the names as "dead links" in the Add/Remove Software list (ahhh
...Microsoft thoroughness at its best) but not to worry they will do no
harm and will get fixed when we finish. It's possible to clean them up
but let's stay out of the registry :-)

3) Go and get the file "dotnetfx.exe" this is ".NET 1.1" from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

install it.

4) Go and get the file "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" this is the ".NET
1.1 service pack 1" from: my personal website (JUST KIDDING,
RELAX...get everything of course from a microsoft.com domain)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A8F5654F-088E-40B2-BBDB-A83353618B38&displaylang=en

install it.

5) Install the SECURITY patch, the dreaded KB928366, we have all grown
to hate. You can install it from the Windows Update program (be sure to
ONLY select the KB928366 patch and NOTHING else, we dont want to put
back 2.0 or 3.0 yet). It's OK go ahead and click ...it will be
alright...you can do it...it's just one more time... :-)

6) Re-run the Windows Update and you can add back in .NET 2.0 and 3.0

7) Post to thank me...

Now WHY hasn't Microsoft posted instructions yet? .... What is UP?!

Good night!

George
