Re: security updates for microsoft

Pardon me ? I never said anything. The quoted text is from another MVP.
AFAIK, just browsing to the folder should be sufficient for the update to install.
If not, sorry. Haven't had to do any such gymnastics to get the .NET updates to install on any systems under my watch.
The installer usually knows which file it's looking for on a CD and *should* know which file is needed in the dotnetfx folder.

And do what??? Which of the 3 .exe files do you click to complete the installation of KB928366.

As previously posted by Patrick Philippot, MVP :


1. Instead of using Windows Update, download the KB928366 package from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=281FB2CD-C715-4F05-A01F-0455D2D9EBFB&displaylang=en
Do not install yet.

2. Download the .Net framework 1.1 redistributable package from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3

3. Use Winzip or a similar utility to unpack dotnetfx.exe in a folder of
your choice. You should get the following files:
netfx.msi
install.exe
InstMsi.exe
InstMsiW.exe
netfx1.cab

4. Launch the KB928366 installer. It will soon complain that it can't find the installation CD-ROM (don't ask me why). Browse to the folder where you unpacked the dotnetfx files.

That's it.

This procedure can be applied to any similar situation regarding .Net
framework updates. I'm using it since years (that is, since this Windows
Update bug exists).

Good luck.
