Windows Update error 80070002

[shrike3000]

Yesterday the update for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 showed
up in my Windows Update on Vista 32 bit. It cannot install corrected and
keeps giving me error 80070002. I have followed the directions that error
code gives out to try and repair multiple times with no results, still the
same problem.

Now my Zune software also will not update because it says it requires that I
have Microsoft Update, which I obviously do have.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

I had the same error yesterday but realised that Vista actually

installs .NET Framework 3.0 so you do not need this update.

Yes, you do. The .NET Framework 3.0 does NOT replace earlier versions, it
sits alongside them. It is quite normal to have .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0,
3.0 and 3.5 on the same machine. If an application was written to use
version 1.1 then it must be installed on your machine.

Hi Shrike,
You can download the needed microsoft.NET doing it manually using the link
that some people have already posted on this blog. It does work then you
should be ok. Also after you get the download done go back to windows update
and there will be another update that you will need. Hopes this helps you.
