Hello.

I have recently found a security patch for my Microsoft .NET Framework, V 2.0. I needed the framework installed for my ATI Driver update to work. However, Every time I tried to install the patch, it failed. I tried repairing the framework, but that didn't work. Neither did uninstalling it. Uninstalling and Repairing yeilded the following message:

"The following error occured during setup:

Patch Package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I downloaded and installed the framework from ATI's site. My system is a Windows XP, and I would like some help... Please...

Thanks for any help you can give.

Yeah. It's a hotfix. Found it through the critical updates program.

Okay...

You know how the little, yellow shield pops up to signify when you have critical updates available to you Well, that's where it comes from. Normally, it'll tell you that it has downloaded the updates, and is ready to install them on your computer, and it installs its components successfully. Yesterday, I had a critical update with four**** components, and it successfully installed thir**** of them; the one it failed to install was the .NET Framework security update. Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB922770) as it's called. The update, on another part of Microsofts website, says the update is 2.2 - 9.6 MB large, but critical update shows it as 0KB large, which... Doesn't make very much sense, meaning the update might be screwy..

Still, I can't uninstall or repair my framework, and I have no idea what might be causing that...

That update concerns the system.web update for ASP.Net. Do you have active web sites you are developing

The best route to take is to uninstall .net 2.0, which I believe you tried, and to resinstall .net 2.0, reboot, reinstall. If you get that far...you may not want to install the update unless you really need to....it has failed for a few others.

If that does not work your only option is to contact Microsoft Support, to which these forums are not, starting at the Microsoft Support Site, and work this out with them.
