If they are not found .NET will recreate them as needed.
Note that the "Reference Assemblies" folder is only created
by later versions of .NET

Thanks for the quick reply, JS. The two files were ReferenceAssemblies
and
Framework from the Windows folder. I have some more information on my
issue,
however. As I indicated, I called support and the problem is related to
my
Vista install. When I did the OS reinstall, I went ahead and had all the
updates done which included Vista SP1. Then when I tried to do the
upgrade
from the OS DVD, it stopped me from doing the upgrade and made me do a
clean
install because obviously it was a later version with SP1. So now I am
uninstalling the SP1 and will then go back and do the upgrade from the
DVD.
Bottom line -- operator error (as usual) :)

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.
