I installed SP3 version 20080414.031525 downloaded from Microsoft today.
Installation went OK. Two packages failed (KB928365 and KB928366). Those
are .NET 2.0 and .NET 1.1 SP1.
There is .NET 2.0 already installed but I cannot either repair or remove
it (Contol Panel->Add/Remove Software). I tried to install those two
many times.
KB928365 - error code 0x663
KB928366 - error code 0xE0434F4D
There was an error window: SLx(x).tmp (x(x) was different each time).
SLx(x).tmp has encountred a problem and needs to close.
History of ugrades:
From 2004 it was a plain vanilla XP Home. I had no problem. MSI
Motherboard with Athlon64 3000+, 2.0 GHz and 1.5 GB RAM. HDD 120 GB +
320 GB. Dual boot Windows and Ubuntu 8.04 on separated physical drives.
A month ago I needed SP2 to run a new hardware (E-MU Tracker Pre USB
2.0). So I upgraded to SP1 + upgrades, SP2 + upgrades. Everything was
fine until upgrades to SP2. My computer did boot, past GRUB (dual boot
menu), XP screen and Welcome but my desktop had a strange red mark, and
my mouse and keyboard were dead. Last known working... didn't help.
I started from the last automatic recovery point using Safe Mode. Now
everything was fine. At least it seemed so. Sony Vegas didn't work anymore.
An error occured during the current operation.
The Microsoft .NET runtime could not be initialized.
Please install the .NET Framework (download is available from Windows
Update).
Well, that was the first time I tried to repair and uninstall .NET.
Didn't work.
Than I installed SP3 RC2.
Everything was smooth. But the same problem with Vegas.
Now I installed the finel version od SP3 (uninstalled SP3 RC2 before).
The Vegas (.NET) problem persist plus upgrades of .NET.
Should I try to uninstall .NET 1.1?
Or just install entire .NET without uninstall?
