I get the following error when trying to install service pack 1 for
..Net 1.1 framework. I have un-installed .Net 1.1 and reinstalled it
with no problem but continue to get the same error message when trying
to update. I also have .Net 1.0 and tried to install Service Pack 3
for that framework and got the same error message during install. I
have seen some messages from others who got the same error message but
have not found a solution. Does ANYBODY know the solution to this
problem.

XP Pro SP 2
..Net 1.0
..Net 1.1


"An unhandled exception of type
'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll"
 
I had a simular error. Mine was due to having found the v2.0.40903
framework on the web somewhere and had installed that rather than the
v2.0.40607 that was publicly released, when I uninstalled the
v2.0.40903 the service packs installed fine then I installed the normal
v2.0.40607.

I have already uninstalled .Net 2.XX before attempting to install the
service pack. I have seen this exact same error message from other
folks but have not yet been able to trace down a solution. One guy
said that all I had to do was uninstall 1.1 and then reinstall it and I
even tried that to no avail. Thanks for your input.
 
The exception may occur in the wrapper EXE of the service pack (e.g.
NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe for .Net 1.1 SP1 and
NDP1.0sp3-KB867461-X86-Enu.exe for .Net 1.0 SP3), instead of any actions
within the patch.

The wrapper EXE contains managed code to apply the MSP (which is a Windows
Installer Patch). The managed code throws the exception. The exact cause of
the exception is still unknown...

Resolution
===============================
We can extract the MSP file and apply it manually. For example:

1. Issue the following command:

NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe /xp:c:

As a result, a Windows Installer Patch file will be extracted as
¡°C:\S867460.msp¡±.

2. Issue the following command:

msiexec /p c:\S867460.msp /l*v c:\sp1.log REINSTALL=ALL

I did as you said and the install stops saying it cannot find
NetFx.msi. I did a search of my hardrive and found it in one of my
Windows installer tools plug-in folder. So I moved it over to the
folder where I extracted the .msi from the service pack .exe and ran
the install per your command line instructions. It started ok but
after a bit I get the following error: "INTERNAL ERROR 2356"

What do I try next?

FYI, I have uninstalled .Net 1.1 and reinstalled so this is a virgin
copy of .Net 1.1 that I am working with.
 
Hi David,

Regarding the issue, I suggest you may try to rmove the .NET framework 1.1
manually and reinstall it. Here is an article about how to remove it:

How to troubleshoot Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installation issues
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=824643

After this, you need to perform a clean reboot, disable any other
application, for example, some anti-virus software and install .NET
framework 1.1 and the service pack.

Hope this help,

Luke

I finally got around to doing this. I printed out the instructions and
did it step by step. I get the same exact error message when trying to
install the service pack:

"An unhandled exception of type
'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll"

This is very frustrating. This is a fairly clean machine, as far as
..Net goes. I cannot imagine trying to deploy >Net apps to my clients
if they are going to run into this kind of problem when trying to
install a service pack to the framework. Isn't mscorlib.dll a Win32
file? I found on some other forums users who got the same exact error
and none of the ones I was able to communicate with have found a
solution. I hate to use up one of my support incidents with Microsoft
for this but looks like I will have no choice unless someone has a good
idea of what I can try next.
