I was having an install failure of the update associated with KB953297, getting:

"Initializing installation... done!
Installing Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update for Windows
2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server
2008 R2 (KB953297) (update 1 of 1)... "

It sits there for a few seconds, then tells me that the install failed. I was
directed to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 for the solution.

I think I've really screwed up.

When I rebooted, 1, 2 & 3 were gone, but then I saw 3.5. I tried to uninstall it, but
I think I probably nuked it's install files with the Install Cleanup tool earlier, so
it won't either install or un-install.

I can re-install 1 and 1.1, but 2 fails, telling me that it can't install because of
a previous install (but it doesn't identify it).

I sent an email to MS support and got the automated reply that a support person would
contact me within 24 hours. That was a couple of days ago, and after two follow-up to
MS, still no help.

I'm desperately looking for a way to correct this, and Google isn't helping a lot.

For some reason, V 2 installed, and so did the subsequent updates thru 3.5.

1.1 SP1 SAID it installed, but it's not in A/RP, and the yellow shield is on the
SysTray for it, as well as wanting to install at shutdown. AFAICT, there's no damage
if it isn't installed, so at this point, I think I just want it to stop prompting me.
 
I got it fixed by downloading the install. When I ran it, it told me it was already
installed, but I could continue. Then it wanted netfx.msi, so I downloaded 1.1, and
extracted it, pointed the SP1 install at it and all is now happy again.
