Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework fails to install
Wednesday, July 13, 2005 by Madam GoodMorphing | Discussion: Stardock Support General
I have my computer set to automatically apply the windows security update. For the last several weeks Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB886903) has failed to install and is on a continuous loop of attempting. I have tried to install it manually, cleaned out my temporary, looked for a corrupt install in add/remove programs, and read the Microsoft support article ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887219 ) which was linked on the support page. I think I understand from that article that there was once a problem which has since been resolved in which the installation failed. However, I still cannot install the update even manually.
I know that some Stardock applications make use of Microsoft .NET Framework and I am wondering if i have to unload things, or if it would hurt my applications to get a different version of Net Framework.
At the very least I would like to get my computer out of the loop it is in, constantly nagging me about the update and leaving an icon in my tray.
Thank you.
edited to add that subsequent updates have installed without a problem.

sorry I was away for so long. I was reading it and decided to uninstall some things I thought were gone already. While i was in add/remove I found that hotfix that keeps trying to download only it isn't with the rest of them. Should I delete it?

hehe... ok.
Some things that are there should be gone. I uninstalled avant browser a long time ago, I don't have Mcafee, nor Norton. Webshots is long gone too. Also Yahoo... it should have been gone almost immediatly.
THANKS GARY
