Microsoft .NET Framework update problem
"Yousuf Khan" wrote in message e.rogers.com... Having a couple wierd little problems with upgrading the .NET Framework. (1) Whenever I go to the Microsoft update site, I am told to upgrade to ..NET Framework Service Pack 2, and that it's a critical update. I download it and install it, and then the machine reboots. I go back to the update site again, and that same service pack is presented again. I look in the Installation history, and it shows that it's been installed -- successfully! As I remember, the SP2 for the framework 1.0 was never installed from windows update (I had the same problem, though My add/remove programs didn't show it). To learn if the service pack was installed, read http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318785&sd=msdn and follow the specific instruction. If you had it installed it is probably a Windows Update error. If you don't have it installed and you want to install the SP, you can download it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo.../download.aspx and use the file that you can get from this page to install. You can check if it was installed as shown before. (2) I go to same update site, and in the list of Recommended upgrades is .NET Framework 1.1. Why is it presenting both Framework 1.1 and 2 at the same time? Yes, there is no problem, multiple .NET frameworks can be installed on the same computer (exactly like multiple Java JRE/JVM) Every application specifies the version it needs. OS is Windows 2000 Professional. Yousuf Khan |

Hello!
Okay, I understand your point. So is SP2 really a service pack for version 1.0 of the framework, and version 1.1 is a totally separate install? Indeed, there are only 2 versions of .NET and the service packs do not change the 1.0 from being 1.0. That issue is quite strange, I believe the packaging modes for the downloaded file from Windows Update and for the downloadable file from the place I recommended you are slightly different in order that the wizard interface of the last one is not displayed when you get it from Windows Update. In order to get more help on installations of Microsoft Installer packages, you need to log the installations. You can do it by hand, using a switch when calling msiexec or you can activate MSI logging for all installations, as I do, using X-teq (google for that). I hope this would help. Yousuf Khan |
