Okay, I've had to uninstall and reinstall NET Framework 2.0 several
times over the last few months to fix previous failed updates, but now
there is a new twist - Net Framework 2.0 refuses to uninstall.

The uninstall fails after reporting a program is dependent on NF 2.0.
Not a clue what that program might be (just provides a bunch of
numbers - really wonderful user interface).

So now I have an update that won't install, with the only known fix
being to reinstall something that flatly refuses to uninstall. Just
frigging dandy. Now what should I do?

The only things installed since those previous incidents is a bunch of
MS Office applications - hundreds of megabytes I have no desire to
uninstall/reinstall just to perhaps fix this issue.

At this point, I'm getting truly angry about all these failed updates
every few weeks. I had other things I wanted to do tonight. Instead,
I'm messing with this irritating nonsense once again, and will
probably be doing so for the next several days. No wonder more and
more people are searching for an alternative operating system.

Hi Stewart: an option would be to just download and re-install the .NET
framework 2. over the existing one that won't un-install. I have done this in
past with programmes that won't un-install.It might work . cheers Scott.

I am having trouble installing three updates from July. They are cricial
ones. They have downloaded, but I can not for the life of me get them to
install.
