Had similar results in Windows XP. Uninstalled .Net Framework 2.0, then
reinstalled. KB917283 then installed ok.

Updated a bit for clarity (or add to confusion).

The Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB917283)
continues to fail with MS Update/OneCare, with OneCare continuing to pop-up
updates required. The same situation occurs without OneCare installed.

It seems to be caused by (many) people never updated the framework 2.0
(FEB06) or reinstalled a SDK and MS seemingly has not caught it through
automatic updates.

Thus far the fix appears to be (10 sucessful updates):

1:Turn automatic updates off.

2: Download .NET 2.0 (for 32-Bit) at this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

Note:Some ATI VGA users may need to disable/exit the Catalyst Control Center
(which uses .NET) before updating the framework. We ran into one machine that
had this situation.

OR

2a: Download .NET 2.0 (for 64-Bit) at this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...00-ACF8-4FA1-AFFB-40E78D788B00&displaylang=en
We have not seen a problem with XP 64-Bit but for completeness...

3: Uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 and reboot.

4: Install Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (for 32-bit: dotnetfx.exe
3/22/2006) or (for 64-bit: NetFx64.exe 3/30/2006) and reboot.

5: Then run MS Update (and install KB917283) then reboot.

6: Turn automatic updates on (assuming that is your preference).

This appears to clear up the situation. I hope this helps you.
 
When i tried the seperate download i got this message.


The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may
update a different version of the program. Verify that program to be upgraded
exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.

I'm now officially lost.
 
Exact procedure I had to do was this.
Uninstall Microsoft .Net Frame 2 from your system
Run cleanup_tool.exe
(http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip)
Reboot computer
Install Microsoft .Net Frame 2 (download first and install from computer)
Install KB917283-X86 patch (download first and install from computer)
Reboot computer

I downloaded everything to my computer and put it in a folder first.

My guess is that not everyone has to run the cleanup tool but it should
guarantee a smooth implementation of the patch. I had 1-xp machine that had
no issues at all. I had another xp machine that required only the
reinstallation of .net Frame 2. My 3rd xp machine and w2k machine required
the cleanup tool to be used. I recommend you do it all.
 
There's a rather easy solution to this (at least in my case):

[optional] Download the update seperately (or copy it from the
softwaredistribution folder if you already ran windows update automatic
download)
Disable Antivirus software
Disable Firewall Software
Disable anti spyware software
-> run update (either manually or through windowsupdate - only tested 1st
option)
-> :D done :)
 
Yes LordVan insuring that the AV/Firewall software allows an update is
important! What we have ran into (alot) in a number of gaming communities is
the .NET 2.0 was not the MS FEB06 release on their PC's. I have seen issues
(corrupted .NET) from reinstalling/overwriting .NET framework; including VGA
Card install discs and a couple outdated download sites (not MS). For
whatever reason... MS seemingly has not caught it through automatic updates.
To correct the situation is to completely uninstall v2.0 and reinstall it.
KB917283 apparently needs to the FEB06 .NET update to install.

I might add that the Windows Live Safety Center is a new, free service
designed to help ensure the health of your PC.

You might run the Free Full Service Scan to clean up the registry before
reinstalling .NET 2.0...

No, please don't!! That so-called registry "cleaner" has caused more
Windows Update problems than it has cured. Stay well away from ALL registry
cleaners.

Hi Robin, as a rule I am very cautious about "Reg Cleaners." I would love to
hear more on this one with WindowsLive and any hassles. I have not heard of
any (yet) with XP, but I am usually busy with drivers (work). Maybe a new
thread?

The Windows Live Safety Center has been known to damage the registry so that
no future Office updates will install. This is one of the reasons you see
so many complaints here that Office updates will not install.

Thanks Robin. I was "assuming" they had corrected that issue a couple weeks
back (also assuming there was not a WGA hassle involved).
 
Thanks

Is there any announcement of any such correction that I can check out?
 
Is there another way to get this installed or do I have to spend hours
uninstalling and reinstalling .net 2.0 on 30+ servers? Yes, they all have
the same problem (Windows 2000 Advanced server).

Also, what will happen to all the websites that are configured in IIS to use
ASP 2.0? Will they revert to 1.1 again?
If so, I'll have to back up each meta base, uninstall 2.0, reboot, install
2.0, reboot, run update, reboot and then restore the metabase... times 30 grrr

This is most definately NOT good.

Does the info at the following link provide any help;

The entire process takes 4-minutes... assuming your computer takes 2-minutes
to boot up.
It's really a fast processes. The programs are small
 
Maybe the update is not that important.
Maybe .net 2 will have a major upgrade that will include the patch.
Sorry about the 30+ computers. Your right...that is ridicules to have to
do.
It may be worth your while to wait.

How can I know if I have the "MS FEB06 Release" please? I looked at some of
the .net DLLs, and most of them have a date of "Sept 23, 2005". Does that
mean that I dont have the Feb06 release?

incidentally, the Security update being discussed worked on all my systems
with no problems.
