From: arnoldkrg on
The point is that the Fix it (Fix it 50123) didnt resolve my problem. It
wouldnt install with the same error I described earlier. I cannot update
because Fix it 50123 is included in the .Net critical updates., and the
installation of Fix it 50123 fails with the same error message. I cannot
think what might be seriously wrong with my PC. All other software updates
install with no problems. I can run VB Scripts with no problems. I am the
only user oin this computer and so have administration rights. The ONLY
problem I have is with these updates. Also as you can see from the reference
I gave in my previous post, I am not the only person in the world with this
problem!!!!

From: Rowdy81 on
I also had problems with just the KB979906 and reinstalled the NET Framework
1.1 and 1.1 SP1 without removing them like you suggested. On 1.1 SP1 it said
it was already installed and asked if I wanted to install anyway and I said
yes. Once I did that I retried the update and it was successful.
