I am trying to install "Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework,
Version
1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB929729). I keep getting error code 643. Could
someone
help me. I have Windows Vista on my computer
Thanks and kudos to Chris Rowat, who first provided this solution over in
the MSDN forums :-
1) Download and run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Use it to remove
the .NET Framework 1.1 from the machine.

2) Download .NET Framework 1.1 from the Microsoft website (don't download
via Windows Update), and save it to your hard disk (file name dotnetfx.exe).

3) Download .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1, and save it to your hard disk
(file name NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe)
..NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1

4) Run the downloaded dotnetfx.exe to install .NET Framework 1.1.
5) Reboot your machine.
6) Run NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe to install .NET Framework 1.1 SP1.
7) Reboot your computer again.
8) Now run Windows Update again, to install post SP1 hotfixes.
Not all the reboots maybe necessary, but ... better safe than sorry.
Caveat: I have not used this myself (I never got the 643 error). But many
folks in MSDN forums have confirmed this procedure has fixed the "643" error
for them. There may be other solutions, too.
Hope this helps,
