I Called Microsoft and got the following info which is very similar with a few extras:

It was quite involved and I still had Net framework 2.0 installed which did not uninstall initially. But I did get rid of the automatic update coming up each time with this KB928365 which was not installing.

Thankyou. You were the only one who led me in the right direction.

Here is the response from Microsoft Tech Support:

The steps to resolve the above issue are as follows:

1) Follow the steps mentioned in the article SOX050217700014.

2) You can also follow the steps given below (Modification of the SOX mentioned above) :

a) Go to add/remove programs. Click the "show updates" checkbox at the top if you
are running Sp2. Remove Updates 886903 and 867460 and also remove any other versions of .Net framwork showing up.

b) If the above steps fail, go ahead and rename the folder C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322old.

c) Delete the following registry keys if they are present:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\PendingUpdates\v1.1.4322
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v1.1.4322
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v1.1 and v2.0 and v3.0

d) Download Windows Install Cleanup Utility by following the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 and remove any other versions of .Net framework showing up in cleanup utility.

e) Also download the Net Framework cleanup tool from http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...08/406671.aspx and you can download the tool from the left side of the page under the section "USEFUL TOOLS".

f) Download and run the tool and select the option "Remove All Versions" and click Remove all and all versions of Net framework will be removed if you have not completely removed Dot Net in previous steps.You may have to restart your computer after this step for the changes to take effect.

g) Download the following files from the links given below and Install them.

DOTNETFX

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

.NET FRAMEWORK 1.1 Service pack 1

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

h) Then Visit windows update website and you will get the prompt to install both the updates 928365 and 928366 and install them on the system and this time they will get installed without any issues.

i) Then you can download the latest versions of Net framework like 2.0 and install them if you want. Also you can install Net framework 3.0 . But make sure you install 2.0 first and then install 3.0 as you may encounter some issues if you try installing 3.0 directly after installing Net Framework 1.1.
