.NET Framework installation problem

[highnote]

Can anyone tell me why automatic updates in Windows won't install Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1.

Everytime there are updates, Windows tries to install it, but fails to.

Thanks in advance.

One of the issues is that you need Windows Installer 3.1 installed.

Thanks, Robert.

I'll read up on it.

I thought I downloaded all the latest updates. I would have thought windows installer would have been included.

Microsoft. Go figure.

Glad I sold that dog of a stock.
