Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework fails to install

from WinCustomize Forums

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.

Yeah..you can, but I want to know if you get the IE not responding thingy.

Hmmm... debugging was disabled in IE advanced...so dunno why that was running

So no IE launch problems and did it update?

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?

That's correct, it isn't with the others...uninstall it and whenever you update, let MS reinstall it

Also my hijack this is very long.  Do you want the whole thing or just some parts of it?  (I'm embarrassed about how much junk is on my computer).  And yes, I do have IP3.00.090

I think your problem is IP...roll it back to the last 2.xx version or update it to 3.00a.092. Post the whole embarrassing hijack file and let's see what you have

For fixing IP you could try Run > regsvr32.exe /u "c:\program files\stardock\object desktop\iconpackager\iprepair.dll"  Worked for me...

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

It looks OK Diane.....longgggggggggg, but OK

You do need to update Java though Link

Wheew, that was the hardest thing I did for a long time.  I always knew I would be sunk if I had to do this.  I don't know why, it just seems so personal.  I'll update Java, thanks.

I may have mis-read your Java version. If it is 1.5.0.40 then you're good............

If you uninstalled all that 'stuff' and it's still showing, you might want to look at a Registry cleaner...a good one is Link

There's a few more that are good, so you might want to look around.

I was using a Registry cleaner and ran into a problem.  I think what happened was that I had updated my graphics card driver and then decided to wait to reboot.  After I rebooted it was a horrible mess until i could get to the drivers on my boot disc.  That was my fault though, so I guess I can try again.  What I learned was NEVER RUN A REG CLEANER POST UPDATE PRE REBOOT.

Thanks again Gary.

I went ahead and updated Java

That update still fails to install.  I will just hide it.

Update's still not doing it as it should...but I'll just leave it and 'wait'.

Prime issue at the moment is the IE lockups..... hopefully killing that process has 'sorted' it....time will tell...

I had the same thing happen to me when downloading and installing that particular update (KB886903)...turned off my firewall for a second and all was good.

Lockups seem to be 'gone' [touch wood]...but auto update isn't working....manual downloads is the way to go at the moment....
Reply #48 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Nope...still get the lockups...less frequently...

and still have a few more manual dls to get/install...as the auto-update still ain't doing it for me...

I still cant download that one, even manually.  I did try and delete the one I found in add and remove programs, but it told me it had been deleted.  I think the registry values to it may still be in there, though corrupted.  The registry cleaner wouldn't clean all of the values without registering it.  I just hid that one download.

Paul,
Here's the Registry entry I mentioned for the lockups in #19: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\BrowserHelper Objects

Export the entry to a temp and then delete the folders under that entry. If it works, fine. If not then import the saved file back.

For the update issue, here's something for your reading pleasure: Link



Diane,
Open the Windows directory and in Folder Options 'unhide folders'. Scroll to the file $NTuninstall886903 and delete it. Failing that, go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Updates\M886903 and uninstall from there.
