I am attempting to install SQL Server 2008 on a clean Windows Server 2008
Standard machine.

The SQL Server 2008 installation starts by installing .NET Framework 3.5
SP1. Windows Update then requested I install "Hotfix for .NET Framework
3.5
SP1 KB953595", which I did. The Windows Update "Update History" states
that
the Hotfix was installed Successfully.

However, the SQL Server 2008 install now will not proceed, claiming I need
to reboot, which I did several times. In Control Panel I tried to
uninstall
the hotfix, but the Uninstall button is grayed out for only that update.
When I look for the installation package in
\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads, there is no package for this
Hotfix.

There is also nothing listed as pending in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

so I am at a loss as to how to uninstall a Hotfix that is not completely
there.

Nor have I been able to find the hotfix as a download & try to re-install
it.

Help! Thanks!
