Re: Security Updates "uninstallable"?

 

I just went through this on a clients computer.

I called MSoft and this is what we had to do to resolve the .Net

issue.

 

You may not have to follow all the steps below, but this is what we

needed to do to repair my clients computer.

 

Steps taken:

You should plan to download all .Net versions from MS .Net vs 1.1 thru

3.5 and all Service packs and save them in a folder of your choice:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results.aspx?pocId=&freetext=.NET%20Framework%20&DisplayLang=en

 

A very good reference is at Aaron Stebner's WebLog:

http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspx

 

Another good tool they used was called "Dial-a-fix".

It didn't help us because we had to correct the registry.

Briefly - It's a collection of known fixes gleaned from Microsoft

Knowledgebase articles <snip> DAF's primary philosophy is to fix

problems by setting various things back to their original Microsoft

defaults. DAF currently does not interface with or repair any third

party programs.

Aaron Stebner has a dot net cleanup tool that MS downloaded and used

to clean up (remove dot net versions) on the clients computer. Its

mentioned on his webpage located at:

http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip

 

After running the tool, you should check in the add/remove applet to

see that all the dot net versions were removed. I they are not listed

there you can start reinstalling the downloaded dot net versions

starting from the lowest to 3.5 SP1, rebooting the computer between

each install. If they are still there , you could try to remove them

using the add/remove button there. If they are there still, they may

be orphaned or corrupted and may not be able to be removed. (That's

what my situation was).

 

The next step was to remove the entries/keys for all dot net versions

from the registry. Be careful here and back up the registry keys

before you delete them.

 

The Registry folder/ key to go to is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

Do a search (Edit/ find - Microsoft .NET Framework) for all dot net

versions. You should find versions 1.1 through to the newest you have

installed. You will also find a couple .net hot fixes also - remove

them. Reboot the computer. Check to make sure that the entries are

no longer in Control panel Add/Remove.

 

Start installing with .net ver1.1 and reboot after each version.

 

After you reinstall all versions, run windows update to make sure all

hotfixes and updates are installed.

 

Hopefully this will be of some help to someone.
