| I give up....I have tried all the suggestions on the Microsoft help site and still a no go. First I admit I was way behind doing the updates (48 total) on my 8 year old HP laptop. I do have both sp2 and sp3 installed and have always kept the laptop in good shape with never a problem, but this has me stumped!
The 2 updates in question are: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 x86 (KB2656353)
Both come up with an 0x643 error. I have tried 3 times to download these updates and every time I get the same "failed". Checking my updates I do have the latest versions so I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not. Any suggestions? TIA

| aI would not worry about those 2. If those are the only ones. A good practice with that many is to break them down to 10-12 at a time then let it reboot go get more etc less chance of problems. |

| Ravencajun, Thank you and I will just hide them if they come up again. And I did do the updates 10 at a time, rebooted before I downloaded 10 more. I'm proud to say I learned that here ((grin)) Again thank you for your prompt answer! |

| Did you try to run the Microsoft "Fix It" tool for Windows Updates? |
|
| I agree, nothing to lose sleep about. Look at it this way: you say you were fine before. Now that you've done those updates, the likelihood is 46 chances out of 48 that you're much better off now. Good odds! |

I have tried all the suggestions on the Microsoft help site and still a no go. Partly because I'm curious and partly because it might help someone else, even if it didn't help you, did you try this specific Microsoft Fixit? |

| You are welcome and trying the fix it would not hurt, some time they work. Of all the windows updates the.net ones are the ones that tend to have problems. I follow a guide by Susan Bradley which she does every time new updates come out. She gives her suggestions as to what to install, wait or skip. I see her quite often skip those. If you subscribe to the Windows secrets newsletter you can find Susan list there. |

| chuggerguy you asked: "Partly because I'm curious and partly because it might help someone else, even if it didn't help you, did you try this specific Microsoft Fixit?" My answer is YES. I did download and run the fix and it was still a "no go". I thought maybe the problem came from the fact it was a download from April and then in June there was an update for that update. Just maybe the newest update may have cancelled out the earlier one. Just a guess on my part, but when it comes to computers that explanation of "guess" should work *lol* Thanks everyone!! |

| The way that I finally got those particular security updates (KB2656353 and KB2656370) to install was that I went into my Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstalled the .NET Framework programs. Then I went back to Windows Updates and re-installed the .NET Framework programs and their associated security updates. Everything installed without a problem. Apparently there was some issue with Windows Defender related to these particular updates. The clients anti-virus was not up-to-date and after getting MSE installed and updated, I performed the above-mentioned process. I did this for a client who was using the Windows Vista OS. |

| I have found NET updates to be a little tricky when assisting other users. One thing that I have found to often work is to install them individually starting with the lowest Knowledge Base number. DA |

| Yes, I have done that also, and it does seem to work. |
