Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update

That happens to me once or twice a year. Don't know why. Here's what I
do, for whatever it's worth: When you look into the details for an
update there is usually reference to an article in the Microsoft
Knowledgebase. I just go straight to the MSKB article and get the update
from there. Go figure.

Well that didn't work. I downloaded it but when I tried to run it there was
an error message to the effect that the patach package couldn't be opened.

Again, any ideas will be appreciated.

There was a link in another thread to start a "free Windows Update support
incident request" but it seemed to be a paid service.

Thanks.

You are not alone.

I had the same problem with the same update and XP3 SP3. The pther Net
framework updates went OK. I have had problems in the past with the NFW 1
updates.
