568565 2007-07-12 23:23:00 I Have Microsoft Dot.net 1, 1a, 2 and 3 installed on my computer.

I get a message a Critical update is ready for 2.

I click on install. After a while I get a message."Can not install".I click on cancel. Two minutes later I get the same message. I click cancel. It leaves the icon on my task bar and every few minutes it asks if I want to install it.

So, as I don't need 2 I try to uninstall it. Up pops the message, Can't uninstall. Do I want to tell Microsoft about it?

So I turn off automatic updates. This stops it's nonsense.

But now I have the red icon with the dire warning, my computer might not be safe with updates turned off.

Anyone got any idea how I can ger rid of this nonsense.

As a last resort I will try and uninstall all of dot.net and then reinstall 1 & 3.If they will uninstall !

568566 2007-07-12 23:28:00 Dot net is a bugger. The easiest thing is to do a 'advanced' install, hide the update and then turn off automatic updates, go into the AU properties and tell it to not notify you that AU is turned off. I have tried and tried to solve dot net not installing problems but never succeded.:badpc: It would be worth uninstalling all dot net stuff and try a reinstall of dot net, but from expreience the problem just comes back. wratterus (105)
568567 2007-07-12 23:36:00 And u have to be careful how / what version you uninstall / reinstall first.

If you do it wrong, you wont be able to reinstall one of them.

And the only way you can fix it is to reinstall Windows.

I made the mistake once of uninstalling 1.1. And then the stupid ATI drivers needed v2.

You guessed it, 2 wouldnt install because 1.1 wasnt installed.

And 2 refused to install. In the end, I had no choice but to reformat to fix it.

Then it should pop up another screen and untick the box to remind you about this update.
