Thanks for info..Followed link and used repair tool for .NET Framework then tried to re-install update with no success.I took a chance and just un-installed the .NET 1.1 framework from add/remove programmes which also removed all the previous 1.1 Framework fixes with it.I then re-installed it via wndows updates with success.I restarted computer and then checked for windows updates as normal which included KB979906 and it installed perfectly without any errors.The earlier hotfixes did not appear as necessary updates so i can only imagine they are now no longer required as KB979906 perhaps incorporates all necessary fixes but i am only guessing. Luckily i did not have to uninstall all other .NET frameworks 2 , 3 and 3.5 and reinstall them which would be a long process but the quick alternative worked ok for me (so far)....

Same thing happened when we tried to update. 2 people updated, 2 people .Net not working. It seems these two are causing the problems: KB979909 KB982168 We are refraining from updating the rest of the computers until we know what's going on.

What's going on is that the updates aren't installing on the 2 computers. Who knows why but only you can fix it. See my previous reply or... See the "How to obtain help" section of, e.g., http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979909 For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY (1-866-727-2338; and/or 1-866-234-6020 and/or 1-800-936-5700) in the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB979909). Or you can... Start a free Windows Update support incident email request: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=6527 Customers who experience issues installing Microsoft security updates also can visit the following page for assistance: https://consumersecuritysupport.microsoft.com/ For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through your usual support contacts.

It's .net. They barf. Their "servicing" process sucks. There's no way to predict what machines may have patching issues or not. You just have to be ready when .NET has updates.

Thanks for this cogent method to solve the problem. This was the first time I have had a problem with a MS Update (KB979906). It took nearly two hours to fix the darn thing, but it DID work. As I was removing all of the .NET Framework pieces manually, I noticed that the ADD/REMOVE programs screen from the control panel indicated that NONE of these programs had ever been used since they were installed. If that information is accurate, I am wondering why I have this stuff installed in the first place! "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote:

Same problem here on my PC. The MS TS email response I got was (basically the same- just trying to complete the info contained in this post for all those who come after): The issue can be caused by a damaged .NET Framework component.

Programs and applications that were installed by the OEM or you have installed require the .NET Framework in order for them to function.

Had to run this same scenario last October for KB953297. It gets irritating to have to run this time consuming fix again in less than 1 year. Would like to underline the word irritating.

I run a network of over 200 machines and use WSUS to deploy our Windows/Microsoft patches. Since patch tuesday (2 days ago) kb979906 kb979909 were approved and sent out to all machines. We now have 68 (and increasing) machines all showing errors trying to install those two patches!! A full removal of .net is simply not an option so this is very frustrating - I'll watch this thread with interest... J:confused: -- j_65_uk Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Hi j: I started this thread looking for an answer and although i recommend PA BEAR [MS MVP]'s solution of complete removal and intallation of all the ..NET Frameworks in correct prescibed order as being safest method, i took a risky shortcut (as i always do) and just uninstalled the .NET 1.1 Framework alone and then just reinstalled it again as i am a bit lazy.I was very pleased when i checked for updates the problem KB979906 was there and installed perfectly without a hitch.I have had no problems since then (although it is early days). I think the problem is that the .NET 1.1 Framework has become corrupt with all the fixes and patches so a simple re-installation does the trick. I hope you could maybe try this as an option for all your computers but don't blame me if it is unsuccessful. I am practical but no computer buff. It is worth a try though if your only other alternative is complete removal / re-installation of all .NETs. on all 200 machines. cheers S...omes "j_65_uk" wrote: > > I run a network of over 200 machines and use WSUS to deploy our > Windows/Microsoft patches.

I'm afraid that solution won't work for me. I've had my machine for less than two years from Dell and it's the second time it's had this corruption - the only way to fix it was to backup my stuff and reinstall everything... I suspect this problem is never really going to go away, simply because it's the way Dell fiddle with the OS so their hardware can work! Isn't there just a simple direct-download link for this file like everything else?

@PA Bear, That was an AT&T vulnerability, not an Apple vulnerability as originally reported. @Harry, Yeah, people are switching - or simply buying Macs to begin with - especially students. I run Hackintosh on all my home PCs for better performance than I can get with Windows 7. I'm also having the problem described in this thread, and as of Patch Tuesday, I now have three patches backed up that won't install on one of my servers. Thanks to all who've posted here. -Katapaltes "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: > [Another county heard from...] > > Apple's Worst Security Breach: 114,000 iPad Owners Exposed: > http://gawker.com/5559346/apples-worst-security-breach-114000-ipad-owners-exposed > > > unclemikenebr wrote: > > Who has time for this?

Ok, I am going to post this alternative in hopes that it works for someone else: Download the manual install file from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=5e55ee58-f00a-4237-bddc-492b63a18b96 Save the file then shutdown all programs (IM Programs like MSN and Yahoo, Outlook, etc) that access the internet. Next turn off ALL internet communications and disable the wi-fi. Run the downloaded program and it should install without incident. Worked for me & I didn't have to reinstall the .NET framework. (I hope this solves the problem, I can not begin to say how much all of you have helped me in the past, so this is me trying to give a little back) "sherlockomes" wrote: > Running : Windows XP media center edition SP3 > Have tried installing KB979906 a few times and also downloaded update > manually but cannot install this update.

Here's what works for me, and how I got there. Note that I'm a mac user, and don't have the patience for the long drawn up fixes. A long time ago, I ran into a similar problem. An old version of Norton Utilities found a several missing files in the .Net installations. I copied these files from backups, ran the updaters, and everything seemed to work. I also saved a copy of the missing files in case the problem recurred. It did. This time around, here's what was missing from my installation: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\_dataperfcounters.h In the past, other files that have disappeared include C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CORPerfMonSymbols.h After copying these files over, I ran Windows update, and the patch worked this time. Your results may vary.

I'm using XP Pro SP3. I've got the same KB979906 won't install problem. I've downloaded a copy of the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 file, dotnetfx.exe. If I uninstall .NET Framework 1.1 using the Add or Remove Programs function in Control Panel, and then run this dotnetfx.exe file, is that what you are describing you have done that worked?
