Im running XP PRO and I cannot install this NET FRAMEWORK UPDATE (KB979906). After Windows update fails to install it cancels out and seconds later its asking to install it again. I have no infections and I ran an xp repair. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated for I do not want to reformat this computer. Thanks in advance...

If so, delete it, then uninstall .Net1.

If the uninstall fails, try one of these cleanup tools. These tools will still work, even if the uninstall failed because "applications need it" (stupid thing)

Once uninstalled, make a windows restore point, restart your computer and reinstall net1.1 and let windows update handle the rest.

If you dig into Windows update log, you may find additional information about what went wrong (at what stage of install, error code etc.) This won't immediately make you happy, but can help in the further search. (So, first try the workaround suggestested above)
