Here is something JS started to help me with & I Saved it to a Folder, but
as many things these days, forgot it. so I am reposting his help for me as I
started to do what he suggested, but am already hung up
Here's JS' post from 3/7/09. & in the reply post, I'll post where I am
stuck at
"OK, here is what you will need to download and install.
First there is a valuable utility from Aaron Stebner's blog.
"NET Framework setup verification tool"
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8999004.aspx
(See the download instructions on were to download
this file, the second link worked best for me)
Download this .Zip file and extract the file named:
netfx_setupverifier.exe and then run it.
It's been recently updated and now will only show
(in the pull down list) what versions are installed on your
PC more accurately then the Add/Remove listing.
So run it and use it to pick and choose the files you need
to install from the list I've provided below. I am assuming
that you have .Net 1.1 but not .Net 1.1 with Service Pack 1.
(Stebner's utility will verify my assumption). If Stebner's
utility does show .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 then you can
skip that item from the list below.
Note: If all of the 4 steps below, especially step 4 is a bit too much
for you and you have plenty of free disk space on your hard drive,
you can bit the bullet and install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. Do this
by installing the file mentioned in step #1, then skip steps 2 to 4
and start at Step #5 below.
Also not to worry, I will show you in detail what you need to
know about the "Bootstrapper" below, when it's appropriate.
Download links and install in the order listed below:
1) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (10.2 MB)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...4f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en
(Note: there is no bootstrapper download file for this service pack)
Choose the option to save the file to your hard drive,
When the download has complete, double click on the
file named: "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" to start the install.
2) Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (23.8 MB - 122.3 MB*)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...58-915b-4eb5-9b1d-10e506da9d0f&displaylang=en
For your PC, scroll down the web page to the section titled:
"Files in This Download" and download the 23.8 MB file named:
NetFx20SP2_x86.exe and then install it.
*** Note: Ignore the note about "KB959209",
in the next step I'll show you how to only download what
you need and not .Net 3.5 since Net 3.5 is currently not installed
on your PC, you don't really need it.
3) Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Family Update:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...54-6450b0212565&displaylang=en&displaylang=en
Note: Disregard the title of the article.

32 Bit Windows download File is named = NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe (8.6MB)

4) Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2
Read my article: http://www.pagestart.com/netframeworkfamilyupdate.html
Scroll down the page to the section titled:
"How to skip NET 3.5 and install only the NET 3.0 SP2 with the 3.0 Family
update"
Your done except for step #6.
5) The quick way (but requires more disk space)
If you have chosen to skip steps 2 thru 4 above, remember step #1
is required using either way.
This is the whole package of updates which also includes
..NET Framework 3.5, read the instructions on this web
page as there are two parts (A & B) you need to do.
A) Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en
This "2.8 MB" download file is a "bootstrapper"
and will install only the components you need. It does the
download and install process all at the same time.
Note: Click the "Run" option when prompted.
B) Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...450b0212565&displaylang=en&displaylang=en
