Corrupt .NET Framework, can't reinstall

[Matt Modica]

Hello,

Somehow (I don't know how), my .NET 1.1 Framework became corrupt. I noticed
when I tried to open Media Center, which displayed this error:
http://picsorban.com/view.php?pic=error2.png

I did a little searching and discovered I needed to reinstall the .NET
Framework because it was some how "messed up". However, after reinstalling,
the same thing happens. When I try to install SP1 for he .NET Framework and
an update for Media Center, I get this error when installing both:
http://picsorban.com/view.php?pic=error1.png

I discovered I needed to run the .NET Framework cleanup tool, but the one
link I could find to it kept timing out. So now I am stuck.

BTW I did run the System File checker and it did ask for the XP CD (which I
gave it), but towards the end it asked for the 'Windows XP Professional
CD2". I put in disk two that came with the Windows set of disks, but it said
I inserted the wrong CD. I tried disk one, but got the same message. I'm
assuming that might have fixed it, but I can't get it to work.

Running Windows XP MCE. Thanks in advance.

You didn't search very hard. Typing in "net framwework clean up tool" I
found 100's of links, including one from microshit itself!.

Hello Matt Modica:
I gave these instructions to another poster who did not have MCE but they
also should apply to your case.

(snip..) , here are the full instructions to
correct this problem:

First, check that your version of Windows Installer is 3.1.4000.4039 by
typing at the Start menu Run "%systemroot%\system32" and then select the
file "msi.dll" . Under File|"properties" for this file you can see the
version number. In case it is not 3.1.4000.4039, then first install security
update KB927891 : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891 . (snip..)
Now you need (snip...) a special deinstallation tool :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=7a4efc33-0343-4ee4-b0c4-97bd16967a09 .
Download and run the uninstall cleanup program.
Next, reinstall DotNet Framework 1.1 sp1 :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=281fb2cd-c715-4f05-a01f-0455d2d9ebfb .
Restart Windows XP.
Download the update KB928366 which you are trying to install :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=281fb2cd-c715-4f05-a01f-0455d2d9ebfb .
