When I try installing my new updates, I get error, code 641. Not sure what
the error means. The update that trys to install is: Security update for
microsoft.net framework version 1.1 service pack 1. How do I solve this
problem?
 
Use Method 2 on this page:

Error message when you try to install the .NET Framework 1.1 Service
Pack 1 Update from the Windows Update site on a Windows XP-based
computer: "Updates were unable to be successfully installed"

Vista ships with .NET Framework 3.0 . So the instructions on that page
may not be relevant.
Apparently some older software requires .NET Framework 1.1 in order to
for it to run and you've installed that version. See if you can Repair
it from within Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

Locate it in ARP and check the options that are available. If there's a
Change option, use that to Repair it.
One reason why the update will not install is due to interference from
antivirus software. Completely disable the installed AV from actively
monitoring the system and see if that helps in getting the update
installed, Cassie.

Okay... I went to the control panel and tried to remove that, but nothing
happened... I tried to install that update today and I got a different
error.. I got error 643 this time!!! What the heck is going on with this darn
computer!?!?!

error 643 is a generic one and is not helpful in trouble shooting why
the update will not install. *Strongly suggest* you use the steps on
this page to remove .NET Framework 1.1:
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/12/10/502439.aspx

Then download a fresh copy of it and SAVE it.
Then download the update from here and SAVE it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...CD-C715-4F05-A01F-0455D2D9EBFB&displaylang=en

After the downloads have been completed close the browser and any other
open programs.
DISCONNECT the system from the internet if it's on broadband.

*** Completely disable the installed antivirus software either by
reading the product's Help file or by consulting it's web site. ***

Install .NET Framework 1.1
Restart the system if requested to
Now install KB928366 [ NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe ]
Restart the system if requested to

REENABLE the installed antivirus software and then reconnect the system
to the internet.

When you try to install an update for the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0,
you may receive Windows Update error code "0x643" or Windows Installer error

There's one little problem with that KB ... if the .NET Framework
version can't be uninstalled from ARP or the Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility doesn't show it being installed, BroRo <w>
Cassie appears to have overcome that small obstacle ... hopefully.
