Here is EXACTLY what you do to solve this problem for Windows XP 32
bit. If you happen to have a rarer 64 bit version, server OS, or
SOMETHING else follow the same general instructions but get the
version of the files appropriate for your system but first, Microsoft
has pissed me off beyond belief. I looked in my log and this same
thing happened 6/2006...thanks MSFT for torturing us again this year.
I thought it was a familiar feeling...nice branding...this is a huge
humiliation for their .NET team in my opinion or perhaps we should
start calling them the .NOT team...anyway....
Steps:
1) Go to the control panel and select the add/remove software tool
then TRY and remove everything with .NET in the name. If you can
remove everything go to step 3. If you cannot remove everything go to
step 2.
2) Go and download the windows installer clean up tool at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
run the windows installer clean up tool and BE CAREFUL to only select
the .NET items from the list and remove them. Note: this will likely
leave the names as "dead links" in the Add/Remove Software list
(ahhh ...Microsoft thoroughness at its best) but not to worry they
will do no harm and will get fixed when we finish. It's possible to
clean them up but let's stay out of the registry :-)
3) Go and get the file "dotnetfx.exe" this is ".NET 1.1" from:
install it.
4) Go and get the file "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" this is the ".NET
1.1 service pack 1" from: my personal website (JUST KIDDING,
RELAX...get everything of course from a microsoft.com domain)
install it.
5) Install the SECURITY patch, the dreaded KB928366, we have all grown
to hate. You can install it from the Windows Update program (be sure
to ONLY select the KB928366 patch and NOTHING else, we dont want to
put back 2.0 or 3.0 yet). It's OK go ahead and click ...it will be
alright...you can do it...it's just one more time... :-)
6) Re-run the Windows Update and you can add back in .NET 2.0 and 3.0
7) Post to thank me...
Now WHY hasn't Microsoft posted instructions yet? .... What is UP?!
Good night!

Do most people need .NET on their computers? It seems to be for developers,
although MS warns that some programs may not work but which programs rely on
.NET?

notification icon. I had like seven "successful" installations in my
history yet the icon. Thank you again!

Glad to see this works for some, but certainly is not getting it for me. I
went ahead and tried visiting windows update again, still no go.
MS, has screwed up royally, with this update. I just hope I am not screwing
something on my system, but doing all of this...

I've deleted all the .NET installations, installed dotnetfx.exe, and then
I've tried to install the NDP.1 exe file. I then get the following message:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by 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 updated
exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
I'm best at following instructions rather than working things out for
myself, so can you suggest what's to be done here?

2. Download and run this Uninstall Clean-up tool:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A4EFC33-0343-4EE4-B0C4-97BD16967A09
3. Search the MS Download Center
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx) for the .NET Framework
version(s) you need to reinstall, then download & install them;
4. Download/install the update(s) via Windows Update or Automatic Updates.

At work I have discovered installing a Windows Installed update
(KB893803), I could install KB928365 without uninstalling any .NET
files. It has worked on several machines.

Hope this helps.
Hi George!
Your solution certainly made my day!
For more than a month I've been very annoyed by those icons popping up
and telling me that there is an update KB928366 which I need to have.
You bet I've tried to update but the icon still comes back. Looking in
the log of updates there is a number of green checkmarks from medio
July, but apperently something didn't get right. After applying your
solution everythings seems OK.
Again, thanks!
Bertila
You are the man!! Thank you, Thank you!!
