1. Instead of using Windows Update, download the KB928366 package from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...CD-C715-4F05-A01F-0455D2D9EBFB&displaylang=en
Do not install yet.

2. Download the .Net framework 1.1 redistributable package from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3

3. Use Winzip or a similar utility to unpack dotnetfx.exe in a folder of
your choice. You should get the following files:
netfx.msi
install.exe
InstMsi.exe
InstMsiW.exe
netfx1.cab

4. Launch the KB928366 installer. It will soon complain that it can't find the
installation CD-ROM (don't ask me why). Browse to the folder where you
unpacked the dotnetfx files.

That's it.

This procedure can be applied to any similar situation regarding .Net
framework updates. I'm using it since years (that is, since this Windows
Update bug exists).

Good luck.

You can also use 7 Zip to extract/unpack the necessary files:

Thanks for your time and trouble but I'm it is beyond my caperbilities. Do

It's a security update for a potentially critical vulnerability.
So, YES, it is important.
Just follow the steps laid out as it's not really that hard to do.
If you do not feel comfortable doing it then have a more
techonologically adept friend do it.

I tried this procedure, but the installer would not or could not install the
update. Should I try removing the .net 1.1 entirely and start over?
Some of those links are very long; I finally resorted to going to the update
site and finding the files from the menu. It still took me some doing
to find the hot fix.
