I meant to blog about this at the time but forgot until i was just reminded about it<\/p>\n

I was over at my parents house and my dad had been trying to run Windows Update.<\/p>\n

He had one update that just wouldn’t install – KB929729 Security Update for .NET 1.1<\/p>\n

I found a\u00a0very helpful post by Peter Broomberg <\/a>that\u00a0pointed me in the right direction.<\/p>\n

The steps\u00a0you need to follow are:\u00a0<\/p>\n

1) Instead of using Windows Update, download the KB929729 package from here:
\nhttp:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyId=7EEA368D-7B82-4583-8537-30351718A4E9&displaylang=enhttp:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyId=281FB2CD-C715-4F05-A01F-0455D2D9EBFB&displaylang=en<\/font><\/a>
\nDo not install yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2) Run cleanup tool:
\nhttp:\/\/astebner.sts.winisp.net\/Tools\/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

and select remove (cleanup) .NET Framework 1.1 from the dropdown list.<\/p>\n

3) Download the .Net framework 1.1 redistributable package from here
\nhttp:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

and install it.<\/p>\n

4) Download the .Net Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
\nhttps:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?familyid=A8F5654F-088E-40B2-BBDB-A83353618B38&displaylang=en<\/font><\/a>
\nand install it.<\/p>\n

5) Finally, launch the KB929729 installer and it will work:\u00a0<\/p>\n

As far as i can tell the problem is because of previous versions of the framework being installed<\/p>\n

My dad got a Dell PC last year and was part of the Vista Express Upgrade programme<\/p>\n

So the PC came installed with XP which was then upgraded to Vista<\/p>\n

The problem is to do with 1.1 framework still hanging around after the upgrade.<\/p>\n

I followed the steps and the his windows update looks much healthier now<\/p>\n

Hope this helps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
