del /q %temp%\*
Note /q not /y (which means similar on Copy and Move). Type is also a command and /y is indeed an invalid switch for Type. Type was a command to you not the computer.

How to lose a war in Iraq

=================================================
I have a problem similar to yours. I attempted to try the fix that Rock
suggested, however, when I got to the part where instructed to "type: del /y
%temp%\* I got the message that "y" is an invalid switch.
I posted my experience and request for help with a similar problem yesterday
4/15, as "Corrupt Net Framework 1.1," but I have not had any replys.

Wow... that's not encouraging! Sounds to me like Miicrosoft had a problem
with the sequence of doing updates after an install/update of Windows XP!?
I may just let it ride for a period of time and see if a future update
resolves the problem... what do you think?
Thanks for your thoughts and comments, Patrick
:
Thanks to both of you, Rock and Taurarian. I'm going to take a shot at
it!
Thanks again, Patrick

Help dear friends... need your help!
No matter how many times I attempt to install the .NET Framework
update, it
fails to install! I receive the following message each time:
The following updates failed to be installed successfully:
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.0 SP3, English
(KB886906)
It keeps downloading each day, and the install fails each time.
Being a security update, I would like to have it installed
successfully!
Could you tell me what to do to get it to successfully install?
Thanks for your help and consideration,
Patrick, I had the same problem you had. I posted the question to
windows update and Pat Walters [MSFT] posted the resolution. I had to
repair the .Net framework installation. The instructions are as given
in that one post to you earlier by Taurarian. My version is slightly
different than yours, .Net Framework 1.1 SP1, but I believe the process
is the same. Here is Pat's post to me:
"Sometimes patches can prompt for the original installation media
(asking the user for the location of netfx.msi). This can happen when
MSI determines that the original product has missing or corrupt files,
which are not included in the patch package.
Repairing or reinstalling the original product fixes this issue, so in
your case, we specifically need to repair the .NET Framework 1.1.
If you already have the .NET Framework 1.1 installation package, feel
free to skip this section to step 9:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package
1. Please click the following link or copy and paste it into your
Internet
browser address window:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en
2. Please click the Download button and save it to a directory you will
remember.
3. Please uncheck the box "Close this dialog box when download is
complete"
4. Click Start
5. Click Run
6. Type: cmd <Enter>
7. In the Command Prompt, type: cd (target directory path)
8. Verify you are in the correct directory for this file by typing: dir
dotnetfx.exe <Enter> and make sure it lists the file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Repairing .NET Framework:
9. Still in the command line, and now in the proper directory, type: del
/y
%temp%\* <Enter>
10. Type or copy and paste the following:
dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms %temp%\netfx.msi" <Enter>
(note: be sure to use the quotes.)
For example:
dotnetfx.exe /t:%temp% /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms %temp%\netfx.msi"
11. Please try to install the update KB886903 from your direct download
one
more time, and let us know if this works out for you.
Sincerely,
Pat Walters [MSFT]
Hi Pat
I have the same problem. Ive only just seen your message.
Earlier today I posted "NET 1.1 win update installation fails and MS fix
didnt work!"
Ive just tried your suggestion but alas it hasnt worked.
From the first time I downloaded this update and have been unable to install
it I've had several problems cropup on my system. So I'm keen to try and get
this resolved. I'm thinking I may have to do a full reinstall but thats 2
days work! Boo Hoo.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
