.NET Framework update failed

[Guest]

Hello experts, need your help!
Not 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,

"Whilst" I sincerely appreciate the links and your help and consideration,I'm
hoping that I'm not the first person to have this problem and that someone
will have a specific solution. All I did was upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP
and perform all the updates... obviously, except for this one!

Thanks again, Patrick
