RE: [SOLUTION] You cannot install KB928366 (.Net Framework 1.1 securit

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Quite often I see the update of Microsoft Net Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
through Windows Update and try to install them but it's failed. Not sure why?
I did check in Add or Remove Program to see what files do I have them in my
laptop? Here are the list below:

Microsoft.Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
with 10 files under
-------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft.Net Framework 3.0
with 1 hotfix for this that file above
-------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft.Net Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2
with 11 files under
-------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft.Net Framework 3.1 SP1
with 2 hotfix files for that file above
------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I don't see any with Microsoft.Net Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 in Add
or Remove Program. I wonder if that file is in the CD of Microsoft Windows XP
Professional? Please advise about this. Because every time Windows Update run
and try to tell me to install this file so I did and still doesn't work to
install this.

Any help would be appreciated to do with this file.

Thank you,

John

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

4. Launch the KB928366 installer. It will soon complain that it can 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.
