Windows XP SP 2

I have Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with hotfix (KB886903) and .Net
Framework 2.0 installed.

I keep getting "Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1
Service Pack 1 (KB928366)" as a critical update that I need to install. It
doesn't install. Error message is 0x66A .

Do I really need it? If not, how do I get the "yellow shield" pop-up
warning in my toolbar from telling me that I have an update that needs to be
installed.

Help???

Hi - On the Windows Update website - you can choose to hide specific updates,
so the yellow symbol on the task bar will go away. The exact same thing
happened to me and I tried to repair my .NET Framework and tried to uninstall
it and reinstall it but to no avail. I honestly do not think we need this
and actually been told this. I just hid the update and my computer is
working fine! Try that for now.......Good Luck~

Dear "Spazz"

Can you be more specific in your "fix" .I have the same problem.

The icon of updates is saying that there is an update. It shows the same one
over and over KB928367.

Where onb the website do you do this?

I just tried the "fix" that Spazz suggested.

True enough the icon has now dissapeared. I don't know if Microsoft will
have a fix for this. But for now, everything seems to be OK.

I did send an incident report to Microsoft and their response was
essentially delete everything that was .NET and than reinstall.

I have read so many posts where that fix doesn't work. I have read stuff
from Microsoft that not all downloads will work either. Who knows

Thanks to "Spazz"

I have the same annoying ERROR -- going to the ms update site to try and hide
it! --MS should supply a "remove" utility to remove it. It does not show up
in the contro panel -- since it WILL NOT INSTALL! KB928366

Dan,

Interestingly, I was able to install KB928366 without a probloem. In could
not install KB928367.

Let me know if this works for you.
