cannot repair/uninstall .net 2

[Guest totoro]

I went through a big round of updates and patches on my 20003 SBS.

Unfortunately the updates "broke" .Net 2 which was previously installed.

 

I tried to uninstall .net, but no luck.

and then I tried to repair .net, also with to no success, getting an error

that the install package couldn't be located.

 

I downloaded the package (NetFx20SP1_x86.exe) and tried to reintall on top

of the exisitng but that failed as well.

 

How can I get .net 2 reinstalled and working?

 

any help or input is greatly appreciated.
