As usual the computer automatically downloads
security updates, but this time I get the
following message.

"Security Update for Microsoft .NET
Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365)"

Why does this happen and how can I get around
it?

Please help, Frank
 
Hi Frank,

I'm getting the same problem. The process initialises and then an attempt
is made to instal but a short message 'Failed' appears before I get a box
telling me that the installation was not successful.

Any solution would be much appreciated.

Cheers
 
Download the KB928365 security update file directly from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...78-8e1b-4c38-adfd-e8bc95ae548d&DisplayLang=en
and install it (NDP20-KB928365-X86.exe).

Hi Carey,

I tried your recommendation but received an error "This package could not be
opened. Verify that the package exists.........etc"

I am using the latest Windows Installer, is it, perhaps, the wrong version
for the package?
 
Thanks, I did this and it worked OK though I
only downloaded the one with the 14.7Mb size
program because this was a similar size to
the one that didn't work before.

Should I get rid of the old failed program,
and if so where can I find it?

Regards, Frank
