Updates were unable to be successfully installed.
The following updates were not installed:
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1
(KB886903)
When I attempt to do it manually by going to the Windows Update website, not
only does the above update fail but the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service
Pack 3, English Version also fails. The only difference between the two
methods is that the manual one lists both items failing.

get the following:

Run a search for "KB886903" in "Windows Update General". It yielded several
workarounds for the problem. It looks like there is an error in the security
update to .net which not only causes problems in some installs but also
creates issues for developers after they successfully install the update. I
may elect to "do nothing" until Microsoft gets a real working fix released.
Hope this helps.

How to troubleshoot Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installation issues
Ron
I followed all the detailed steps in this article and it did no good
whatsoever. Thanks for attempting to help.

I received the following error when installing this file:
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may
update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be
upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.

Perhaps this posting by Pat Walters (MSFT) may assist:-

Sometimes patches can prompt for the original installation media (asking the
user for
the location of netfx.msi). This can happen when MSI determines that the
original
product has missing or corrupt files, which are not included in the patch
package.
Repairing or reinstalling the original product fixes this issue, so in your
case, we
specifically need to repair the .NET Framework 1.1.
If you already have the .NET Framework 1.1 installation package, feel free
to skip this section to step 9:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package
1. Please click the following link or copy and paste it into your Internet
browser address window:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en
2. Please click the Download button and save it to a directory you will
remember.
3. Please uncheck the box "Close this dialog box when download is complete"
4. Click Start
5. Click Run
6. Type: cmd <Enter>
7. In the Command Prompt, type: cd (target directory path)
8. Verify you are in the correct directory for this file by typing: dir
dotnetfx.exe <Enter> and make sure it lists the file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repairing .NET Framework:
9. Still in the command line, and now in the proper directory, type: del /y
%temp%\* <Enter>
10. Type or copy and paste the following:
dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms %temp%\netfx.msi" <Enter>
(note: be sure to use the quotes.)
For example:
dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms %temp%\netfx.msi"
11. Please try to install the update KB886903 from your direct download one
more time, and let us know if this works out for you.

I had a similar problem and the solution was in first running Windows
Installer Clean up to remove the damaged .NET Framework since it refused to
uninstall using the add/remove programs route.
Once that was taken care of, a new download of dotnetfx.exe (and its'
service pack 1)
went in without any glitches. Then returned to Windows update and applied
the patch (KB 886903) without a problem.
Good luck!

Here is a detailed log of what I did at his recommendation. It resulted in:
Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1, Service Pack 1 – Installed
Successfully.
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3, English Version - Installation
Failed.
So there is positive progress.
I hope this helps others.
Ron
Joshua,
I appreciate the time and effort you are expending to assist me. Here are
the results, step-by-step, of following your instructions:
Step One.1 – Went to Add/Remove Programs. There were two Microsoft .NET
Framework 1.1 entries. I removed one and when I attempted to remove the
second one, I received this message: “This action is only valid for products
that are currently installed.”
Step One.2 – Installation of msicuu.exe successful.
Step One.3 – Ran Windows Install Cleanup
Step One.4 – There were no Microsoft .NET Framework entries listed.
Step Two.1 – Restarted Windows
Step Two.2 – Brought up startup menu.
Step Two.3 – Selected Safe Mode
Step Two.4 – Logged on as Administrator
Step Two.5 – Deleted the folder C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET
Step Two.6 – Deleted the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\URTTemp
Step Two.7 – Could not rename mscoree.dll to mscoree.old because it did not
exist in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Step Two.8 – Restart computer in Normal Mode
Step Three.1 – Downloaded and attempted to install the Microsoft .NET
Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package. It installed to just after
‘Removing backup files’ then displayed the following error message in a
window titled “.NET Framework Initialization Error’: “To run this
application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .Net
Framework: v1.0.3705. Contact your application publisher for instructions
about obtaining the appropriate version of the .Net Framework.” After
clicking ‘OK’ the ‘Removing backup files’ continued and then I received the
following message in a “Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Setup” window:
“Installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 is complete.” I have Visual
Studio .NET 2003 installed on this machine. Does that make a difference?
Step Three.2 – Downloaded .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 and decided to
see if the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed in spite of the error
received in the previous step. When I attempted to install Microsoft .NET
Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB867460) I received the following message:
“Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB867460) is already installed.
Do you want to reinstall in on Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1?” I selected
‘OK’. The installation claimed to have successfully installed. It required a
system restart.
Step Three.3 – Downloaded and ran KB886903. It stated that it was
successfully installed. It required a system restart. Following the restart,
the Automatic Updates indicator remained in the Notification Area of the
Taskbar. I clicked on it and selected ‘Express Install’. The icon
disappeared. I then went to the Windows Update website and checked for
updates using Custom Install. The only one available was Microsoft .NET
Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3, English Version. I told it to install. It
failed.
So, at this point:
Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1, Service Pack 1 – Installed
Successfully.
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3, English Version – Install Failed.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

Joshua,
I successfully completed the four steps listed below. When I went to Windows
Update, the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3 failed due to not
having Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 installed. I went to Microsoft.com and
downloaded and installed the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.0a (I also have
Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed on that machine.) Following a reboot I went
to Windows Update. This time the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3
update succeeded.
Thanks for your assistance.
Ron

Dear Ron,
Thank you for your prompt response. I really appreciate your efforts on
providing me with the clear information.
After reviewing your email, I am glad to inform you that we have
successfully installed Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and its updates.
I understand that Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3 still failed
to install. Please be assured that I will try my best to help you resolve the
issue in a timely manner.
This issue typically occurs when the previous version of .NET Framework 1.0
has not been completely removed from the system.
At this stage, we can refer to the following steps to remove the previous
version and get this issue resolved.
Remove the .NET Framework components
===============================
In order to help you remove the program of .NET Framework, Version 1.0, I
have created a tool for you.
<<cleanup_tool.zip>> <<Cleanup_tool.Zip>>
1. Please download the attachment to the desktop and then unzip it. You will
get the file “cleanup_tool.exe”.
2. Please double click it and choose Yes to reply.
3. At “Product to cleanup”, Choose .NET Framework 1.0
4. Then Click Cleanup Now
After finishing this process, please go to the Microsoft Windows Update
Website to see if this issue has been resolved.
Please keep me updated on the progress of our issue. If you require further
assistance, please feel free to let me know.
I am standing by for your feedback.
Sincerely,
Joshua Chen

1. Download Windows Install Clean-Up program at
Windows Cleanup:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
and install.
(You can find it in the programs section of your start menu after install)
2. Download .net framework 1.1 (file name dotnetfx.exe) at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en
(dont install yet)
3. Download .net service pack 1 (file name NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe) at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8f5654f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en
(don't install yet)
4. Run Windows Clean-Up and remove the defective .net framework, Reboot.
5. Go to the start menu, then run. Type in "msconfig" and set it to
Diagnostic and then reboot to prevent other software from getting in the way
of the install.
6. Run dotnetfx.exe for a fresh new .net install
7. Run NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe, it will prompt that its already
installed, do it anyways.
8. Go back to msconfig and set it back to normal, reboot.
9. Run the regular windows update thru website or automatic service.
HTH,
Bob
