After fruitlessly trying to fix this !@#$ing update problem for days (I
received the error code KB928366), I sucked it up and paid the $59 to call
Microsoft and have them tell me why the .Net update never worked. Though
they didn't say why, they said that they had an "internal" .Net installation
cleanup utility. After following the steps they sent me below, this !@#$ing
update problem was finally fixed. So, to avoid paying $59 and driving
