I have tried what others suggested but may be i am doing them wrong. Below is what somewhat had written on another site, but it didn't work for me.Can someone help me with this?
After careful review, .NET 1.1 has been ammended to work correctly with Vista.
I think this may solve the issue for those who are affected:
Download and run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, and remove the .NET framework 1.1 from the machine.
Download .NET framework 1.1 from the Microsoft website and install it
Reboot your machine, then install .NET 1.1 SP1 from the Microsoft website and reboot your computer again. Then try to take the update once again.
Please let me know if this works, I have tried it on 2 machines and it seems to work okay, allowing the update to be installed.
