Security update failed.

As usual the computer automatically downloads
security updates, but this time I get the
following message.

"Security Update for Microsoft .NET
Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365)"

Why does this happen and how can I get around
it?

Please help, Frank

RE: Security update failed.

Hi Frank,

I'm getting the same problem. The process initialises and then an attempt
is made to instal but a short message 'Failed' appears before I get a box
telling me that the installation was not successful.

Any solution would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Re: Security update failed.

Download the KB928365 security update file directly from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
and install it (NDP20-KB928365-X86.exe).

Re: Security update failed.

Hi Carey,

I tried your recommendation but received an error "This package could not be
opened. Verify that the package exists.........etc"

I am using the latest Windows Installer, is it, perhaps, the wrong version
for the package?

Re: Security update failed.

Thanks, I did this and it worked OK though I
only downloaded the one with the 14.7Mb size
program because this was a similar size to
the one that didn't work before.

Should I get rid of the old failed program,
and if so where can I find it?

Regards, Frank

Re: Security update failed.

Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?gprid=6527

Customers in the U.S. and Canada can receive technical support from
Microsoft Product Support Services at 1-866-PCSAFETY. There is no-charge for
support calls that are associated with security updates. When you call,
clearly state that your problem is related to a Security Update and cite the
update's KB number (e.g., KB931678).

In other countries, see http://support.microsoft.com/security > "No-Charge
Support...for virus and other security-related" issues in right-hand menu
for localized contact information.

For more information about how to contact Microsoft for support issues,
visit the International Support Web site:
