Preparing for Service Pack 2

[Guest]

I am preparing my computer so I can successfully install Service Pack 2. I
went to the Microsoft updates website and attempted to download 28 updates.
24 of them were successful downloaded and installed, but 2 of them failed
during the download, and 2 others failed during installation.

The 2 that failed during download were:
1. Security Update for Windows XP (KB899591)
2. Update for Windows XP (KB910437)

I don't know if its critical that I download these, but anyone know what the
problem might be?

The 2 updates that failed to install were:
1. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
2. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3, English Version...(I don't
have SP3 so I don't know why I needed this).

The messages I got while trying to install these were "The feature you are
trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable...Click OK to try
again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation
package 'NETFX.MSI'."

I searched for a file called "NETFX.MSI" and could not find one, so I
clicked CANCEL.

That brought up the message that said "SL57.tmp-Common Language Runtime
Debugging Services" at the top, and below it said "Application has generated
an exception that could not be handled. Process id=0x124 (292), Thread
id=0x1a4 (420)."

How do I correct this, or do I need to worry?

Regarding the NETFX.MSI file, the 3rd link you posted tells me to "Obtain the
original installation source. For example, if you installed the .NET
Framework from CD or DVD, insert the disk. Or, if you downloaded the .NET
Framework, download again and choose to save to disk."

I have no idea what disk this might have come from, if any. And if I need
to download it, the person at that link does not say where to get it. Where
can I download the NETFX.MSI file since it appears to be the problem, and how
do I install it if the installation is not "normal"?

the process of downloading and installing it I got the same error about

To deploy the .NET Framework redistributable package, Dotnetfx.exe, with
administrator privileges, you must extract the Windows Installer file,
Netfx.msi, from the Dotnetfx.exe file. Netfx.msi is the file you must
use to deploy the .NET Framework.

I'm not sure what your saying, but I tried it on my own. I found the
Dotnetfx.exe file in the .NET Framework redistributable package folder, and
double clicked on it. It took me through the installation of the MS .Net
Framework 1.1 Package, which was successufl. But, I still can't find the
Netfx.msi file anywhere on my computer. Is it supposed to be there? Do I
need this file to install MS .Net Framework 1.1 For SP1? Before I waste any
more time on this, do I even need MS .Net Framework 1.1 For SP1?

To deploy the .NET Framework redistributable package, Dotnetfx.exe, with
administrator privileges, you must extract the Windows Installer file,
Netfx.msi, from the Dotnetfx.exe file. Netfx.msi is the file you must
use to deploy the .NET Framework.
