Re: [SOLUTION] You cannot install KB928366 (.Net Framework 1.1 sec

I downloaded a one month trial version of WINRAR. But I suggest you uncheck
many of the boxes during the installation, as otherwise it tends to put
itself on every menu on your computer.

Make a new folder so that when you click on "extract to..." so it knows
where to put the contents.

Actually once I had got rid of my original .NET stuff, I just ran
dotnetfix.exe and it installed without any apparent need to be extracted
anyway.

Hi,

This is an old bug showing up again. Although the official solution
involves reinstalling the framework after manipulating the registry with the
installer cleanup tool, there's a much simpler way to fix this:

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

...
I'm using ZipCentral and it will not unzip dotnetfx.exe. The error is
"This is not a valid Zip archive. Please try to obtain a new copy of
this file."

Changing the extension to .zip didn't help.

I don't really want to install WinZip. Any advice?



I suspect it's a self-extracting archive. Often such files have command line
support to allow you to do things such as initiate logging (for example).
So, they often also provide for some kind of help with their syntax.
I would try copying the executable to an otherwise empty directory (JIC <w>)
and then execute it in a cmd window with /? as the only operand.
I you're lucky that will just display all the possible operands allowed from the
command line. However, another thing that these self-extracting files do
(perhaps unintentionally) is do their extractions to a new directory, then pause
with an error message saying your syntax is invalid. If you acknowledge the
message they will then delete the new directory. So, as long as you don't
acknowledge the message you would then be able to access the extacted files
(provided you could find them <w>). In order to assist with that task you could
run ProcessExplorer (e.g. to find out what directories the extraction program
has open) or trace the whole extraction with ProcMon or simply find all new
directories created that day (e.g. Win-F).


Good luck
