The answers have been posted many many times in this newsgroup - a simple
search on 917283 would have found the many threads devoted to this topic.
The following is a revised version of an earlier post by TKang:

Note:
a. Some ATI VGA users may need to disable/exit the Catalyst Control Center
(which uses .NET) before updating the framework.
b. Users of Windows Live OneCare must disable that application before
removing or updating the Framework.

1: Turn automatic updates off.

2: Download .NET 2.0 (for 32-Bit) at this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

OR

2a: Download .NET 2.0 (for 64-Bit) at this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B44A0000-ACF8-4FA1-AFFB-40E78D788B00&displaylang=en

3: Use control panel Add/Remove Programs to uninstall Microsoft .NET
Framework, Version 2.0 and reboot. Do not touch .NET Framework 1.1.

3a: see note below at step 7.

4: Install Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (for 32-bit: dotnetfx.exe
3/22/2006) or (for 64-bit: NetFx64.exe 3/30/2006) and reboot.

5: Then run MS Update (and install KB917283) then reboot.

6: Turn automatic updates on (assuming that is your preference).

7. If this procedure failed to allow update 917283 to work, then repeat the
procedure, adding the following at step 3a:
Download http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip and
unzip it. Run the enclosed application, and select to clean up .NET
Framework 2.0. Now continue above from step 4.

What we have ran into (alot) in a number of gaming communities is
the .NET 2.0 was not the MS FEB06 release on their PC's. I have seen issues
(corrupted .NET) from reinstalling/overwriting .NET framework; including VGA
Card install discs and a couple outdated download sites (not MS). For
whatever reason... MS seemingly has not caught it through automatic updates.
To correct the situation is to completely uninstall v2.0 and reinstall it.
KB917283 apparently needs to the FEB06 .NET update to install.

I might add that the Windows Live Safety Center "is a new, free service
designed to help ensure the health of your PC."

You might run the Free Full Service Scan to clean up the registry before
reinstalling .NET 2.0...

Please don't. That site permanently damages your registry so that no Office
updates can be installed.

Please clarify exactly what you mean by "cannot install Net 2.0". What
error numbers or messages are given? Other symptoms?

What is the relevance of 312500 to all this? 312500 does not exist.

The first one is a normal warning.

The second one indicates that you have an application on your PC which is
using .NET 2.0, and therefore .NET 2.0 cannot be uninstalled unless that
application is first disabled (or uninstalled). Typical examples are: the
new control panel for ATI video cards, or Windows OneCare anti-virus.

The third one is a consequence of the second.

It is possible that you have a beta version of .NET 2.0 currently installed,
as a side-effect of installing an application that wanted .NET 2.0 itself,
such as a game, or the above-mentioned applications. The updates on Windows
Update will not touch the beta versions, only the proper release. You would
only have installed the proper release by download from MS: it was never a
critical update, only an optional update.

It seems to me that you have two alternative routes forward:

1. Try to identify and remove all application that are dependent on .NET
2.0, then remove .NET 2.0, and re-install with the general release of .NET
2.0.

2. Just try re-installing the general release version of .NET 2.0 on top of
whatever you have at the moment, without first uninstalling.

don't have control panel for ATI video cards, or Windows OneCare anti-virus in
my system

did not install any beta versions of .Net framework
( I am not sure whether Office 12 contains part of Net though)

not sure which applications are using .Net 2.0 though

when installing .Net, I get the same error

That explains where the problem came from.

Now, given that you do not know which specific application is using .NET
2.0, we are going to disable all start-up items so that you can boot XP with
no extras. This will leave you temporarily without any third-party
anti-virus or firewall, so disconnect from the internet while you do this.

1. Click Start->Run, and type in
msconfig

2. Click the "Startup" tab. Note your current selections if you already
have some disabled items, then click "Disable all".

3. Click the "Services" tab. Check "Hide all Microsoft Services". Again
note the current selections if there are already disabled items, then
disable all (non-Microsoft) Services by unchecking the tick-box for each
one.

4. Click OK and restart Windows.

Windows should now restart in a clean state with no extras running. You
should now be able to uninstall .NET 2.0 and install the proper non-Beta
version which you previously downloaded from Microsoft.

When that is done, use msconfig again to restore the settings the way they
were before steps 2 and 3 above, and restart again. When you get a dialog
from msconfig saying that you are running a custom start-up configuration,
check the box to "do not show this again" and click OK. You should now have
all yourthird-party add-ons running again.

Good luck!

would it save time if I simply boot into safe mood?

I like the idea of a safe mood - maybe it comes from sipping all that green
tea.

Yes, try it, and let us know. At this stage, I don't know whether the
uninstall and re-install of the .NET Framework will work under Safe Mode.
We just need someone to try and report back.

Try the "clean boot" method using msconfig that I outlined earlier.

comes up with 'error 25007 occurred while initializing fusion. Setup could
not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim(). Error 0x801-31702.
Any suggestions?
