XP SP2 .NET update installs correctly, then XP repeatedly asks toinstall it, over 6 times now...

[Guest Mike Scirocco]

XP SP2 .NET update installs correctly, then XP repeatedly asks toinstall it, over 6 times now...

 

I recently performed a Windows Update on my XP SP2 and a NET framework

update was installed. Now XP repeatedly wants to install the same

update, telling me the update was successful each time. I performed the

same update 3 times just to make sure I wasn't missing anything, or

watching to see if there were error messages during the installation

that I wasn't seeing, but nothing looked out of the ordinary.

 

"Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-040 - Critical" lists one Critical and

one Important Severity rating for this SP2 update, so I imagine it may

be a good idea installing this one:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-040.mspx

 

To get rid of the messages I used the Control Panel > Add/Remove

Programs to uninstall the update. Does anyone have any idea how I can

install this one 'doing it right the first time', not seeing repeated

requests to install it?

 

TIA,

Mike

DISCONNECT the system from the internet if it's on broadband.
