Me Too. There are lots of us affected by this, look back over recent
posts.
I first thought I'd downloaded OK but it just wouldnt instal until I
looked around the Forums.
My problem is that damn yellow shield which comes back every few
minutes. To punish MS I keep installing
constantly, then sending the same failure message to MS over and over
again.
Well I am retired with nothing else to do with my time !!

Try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, uninstall .Net Framework 2.0 and
3.0 using Add/Remove Programs and reinstall .Net Framework 2.0 first
separately. Be sure to turn off any Anti-virus programs during the
reinstallation of the updates. It is best to reinstall the updates and
restart Windows one at a time.
For more information and a link to the Windows Installer Cleanup utility,
please read this article :

Good luck,

Allan

I forgot to add and emphasize that if you use the Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility you only want to remove the entries for .Net Framework 2.0 and 3.0 .
Do not delete all entries, whatever you do! It is a very good idea to create
a manual System Restore point before running the Windows Installer Cleanup
tool.

Good luck,

Allan

Thank You Allan, it worked.
The SP1 is shown in Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. So a successful
download, I think.

The SP1 version number is not shown in C/Windows/Microsoft .NET/
Framework, it only shows the re installed
Framework 2 v2.0.50727.
The reason I mention this is because after re booting I've now got the
dreaded yellow update shield back once again telling
me I should download and install Service Pack 1.

I suggest you double check the installation by running the Belarc Adviser :
http://www.belarc.com. It will show you all installed updates and highlight
missing ones.
