I reinstalled my OS on Saturday and things seemed to go without a hitch
except for the inability to install the SP1 update. So I took the approach
recommended by JS and ran the cleanup tool. Unfortunately I could not delete
two of the three folders that he mentioned. I changed the Vista permissions
but I kept getting denied access for full control. A very frustrating
experience. So it's off to phone support for me.

Yep, I deleted the temporary directories..
But I did not touch the files located in the:
C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder or subfolders
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 folder.
FYI: Temporary directories don't always end
up on the C: drive. The installer will search for
and use the drive or partition that has the most
free space and use that drive or partition as the
location for creating temporary folders.

Thanks for the quick reply. I notice that the key contains references to
the temp directories and files you mention as well the Windows directories
where they were properly installed. I'll take your advice and not delete
the key. I take it you deleted the 'temporary (numbered) directory' some
time ago without any issues related to it since? It's in the root of my c:
drive right now.
If so, I will back it up and do the same.
Thanks,
Jim

The XML Paper Specification (XPS) is a requirement
when applying certain versions of .NET Service Packs/Updates
and as such you will end up with an error message
to that effect if it's not installed.
I did not delete the registry entry and suggest that it
be left as is since your .Net installation problems were
fixed as you indicated in your earlier post

I saw the following article on the web site PAGE START at
http://www.pagestart.com. I found I have the directories and registry key
described. Can they all be safely removed. I also have the hot fix
KB954550-v5 installed. Some research on that indicates that it has
something to do with some Microsoft XML Paper Specification (XPS)
features not being available in Windows Server 2003 and in Windows XP.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NET 3.5 SP1
The temporary folder name is a series of random letters and numbers but
it always has readily identifiable subfolders:
C:\c8b4800dc02b4bb681\amd64
C:\c8b4800dc02b4bb681\i386
There are 7 files in each subfolder all having the same set of names but
the version numbers for the .dll file are not necessarily the same. At
least some of these files are associated with the XPS (XPSEPSC) drivers.
A search for these files in on the drive or partition where Windows is
installed shows that they are also found in the:
C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder or subfolders
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 folder.
The creation dates match the time when .NET 3.5 SP1 was installed.
So the randomly named temporary folder can safely be deleted.
There is also a registry entry you can find if you enter the name of the
temporary file in the Regedit 'Find' field:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4\KB954550-v5\Filelist
KB954550-v5
For some reason Microsoft has no documents that I could find for this KB
number and there is not much to find when searching the Internet either.

Start by downloading and running this tool:
Aaron Stebner's .NET Framework Cleanup Tool
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8904493.aspx
"This .NET Framework cleanup tool is designed to automatically perform
a set of steps to remove selected versions of the .NET Framework from a
computer. It will remove files, directories, registry keys and values
and Windows Installer product registration information for the .NET
Framework. The tool is intended primarily to return your system to a
known (relatively clean) state in case you are encountering .NET
Framework installation, un-installation, repair or patching errors so
that you can try to install again."
Next:
Prior to reinstalling any .NET Redistributable,
delete the following 3 folders/directories:
Note: These folders listed below are where the .NET files are/were
installed on your PC.
Also note that early versions of .NET may not install files in each of
these locations or the folders may not exist.
1) C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\
(delete the "Reference Assemblies" folder)
2) C:\WINDOWS\assembly
(delete the folder named "assembly")
3) C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework
(Delete any subfolders located in/beneath the "Framework" folder.)
Now reinstall each version of .NET as listed below:
NET Framework Redistributable 1.0
NET Framework Redistributable 1.0 SP1
NET Framework Redistributable 1.0 SP2
NET Framework Redistributable 1.0 SP3
NET Framework Redistributable 1.1
NET Framework Redistributable 1.1 SP1
NET Framework Redistributable 1.1 SP1 (Hotfix 886903)
NET Framework Redistributable 2.0
NET Framework Redistributable 2.0 SP1
Up to this point all versions of .NET have been installed
by downloading the full redistributable file to the
hard drive and then using the downloaded file to install
.NET or a service pack.
You should be aware that in some cases a much smaller file
is listed as the first option. . This smaller file is known as
a "bootstrapper" package. The link to download full redistributable
file is typically located near the bottom of the
NET Framework download page. You can find the links to
download each of the .NET versions mentioned above here:
http://www.pagestart.com/netframeworkdwnldlinks.html
Now continue by installing the following .NET versions:
NET Framework Redistributable 3.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Redistributable
Now see if you are able to install .Net 3.5 SP1
and the family updates.
