Yesterday the update for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 showed
up in my Windows Update on Vista 32 bit. It cannot install corrected and
keeps giving me error 80070002. I have followed the directions that error
code gives out to try and repair multiple times with no results, still the
same problem.

Now my Zune software also will not update because it says it requires that I
have Microsoft Update, which I obviously do have.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hello
I had the same error yesterday but realised that Vista actually
installs .NET Framework 3.0 so you do not need this update. I then
simply uninstalled it from the installed programs (it was not installed
correctly but did appear here though on my system) and then hid the
update. I suggest it is an error and will most likely disappear in the
next few days from Windows update.
Cheers
Mark

Yes, you do. The .NET Framework 3.0 does NOT replace earlier versions, it
sits alongside them. It is quite normal to have .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0,
3.0 and 3.5 on the same machine. If an application was written to use
version 1.1 then it must be installed on your machine.

Hello SteveT

On my Vista Home Premium 32 laptop it did not have .NET framework 1.1
installed but I did have some software on their that I did remove that
may have installed this. I had forgotten about that and most likely it
left some settings behind that triggered the update. I thought as Vista
only installed version 3.0 that it would be backward compatible but
perhaps a programmer might be able to shed some further light on this.

So most likely for me as I did not have the .NET framework 1.1
installed it could not apply the service pack. Perhaps those that are
getting this with Vista should check to see if in fact 1.1 is actually
installed at all.

Hi Shrike,
You can download the needed microsoft.NET doing it manually using the link
that some people have already posted on this blog. It does work then you
should be ok. Also after you get the download done go back to windows update
and there will be another update that you will need. Hopes this helps you.
