popped up yesterday
Kb51847 Net framework 3.5 sp1 and net framework 3.5 family
I did it on 3 machines- this is huge and it takes forever to install once it
downloads so be prepared to sit (this happened on all 3 machines running xp
pro sp3)

why would Microsoft not just include it with tuesdays security updates?

R&D Internet Associates are who you need.

Yes, Robin, my "gold shield" appeared on my XP:SP3 machines to update the
..net framework...super large and a very long install, but went smoothly
nonetheless...restart required as you well know.

Yes, Robin - all three pc's are running XP SP3 Home Edition - all up to
date.

You will only see it on systems that have .NET Framework installed.

I got the update yesterday, and no problems. (But there are *many*
problems reported all over the Internet!)

However, I do have troubles understanding what that update is? 951847
has been issued and installed a long time ago, and it even had two
updates (953595, 958484) since. KB951847
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958484) has last been updated in August
2008 - so I really don't understand what that yesterday's update was.

I'm seeing it on XP and Server 2003 machines. On servers it is large-248
megs, and in one case took a full half hour to install after the download.

I have one machine I can't get it installed on, but I'm progressing in
troubleshooting that.

There's also a SQL Server or SQL Server Express update on some machines with
that installed which I'm having a bit of trouble with.

I'm glad these did NOT come with the security updates--they are large, and
somewhat problematical--better to get them out of the way before stuff that
is really critical comes out.

so many do not realize it can take up to a half hr to install this one and I
think what happens they cancel it then cry "why did it not install"
You really need patience with this one!

On Vista and WIndows 7, one or the other of those updates installs on
shutdown, without clearly stating that as far as I can see--and it takes a
LONG time to do that install.
