Appreciate any help with installation.
Winxp Pro. SP2
SP2, eh?
Any details you give would be great. Like errors you receive?
At this point - if the machine was mine - I would follow these directions:

In other words... Use the .NET Cleanup Tool (Method 2), reboot and install
the .NET Updates in this order:
- .Net Framework 3.5
(

- .Net Framework 1.1
(

- .Net Framework 1.1 SP1
(

Should be good to go.
Needs repeating in full?
When installing updates using Windows update or Microsoft Update you may
receive Error 0x643 or 0x80070643 (23 Oct-09)

=====================
Step #1 => Before doing anything else, write down what .NET Framework
versions are currently installed:
How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed and
whether service packs have been applied
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785
Step #2 => Now see Resolution Method 2 in this related KB article...
When you try to install an update for the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0,
or 3.5, you may receive Windows Update error code "0x643" or Windows
Installer error code "1603" (ignore the title, if need be)

After running the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool, reinstall all .NET Framework
versions (but only the ones you wrote down in #1 above) manually using the
download links on the page then run Windows Update manually to install
security updates for same.
NB: If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 (SP1) using the tool, reinstalling .NET
Framework 3.5 will also install .Net Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2; then
Windows Update will offer .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
IMPORTANT! => If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 (SP1), reinstall your .NET
Framework versions in the following order:
1. .Net Framework 3.5, then...
2. .Net Framework 1.1, then...
3. .Net Framework 1.1 SP1
NB: KB923100 references this page:

ALL of it as well as the related page

Framework Cleanup Tool.
