Every time I try to install .NET Framework 3.0 - KB982524 it fails, the
little yellow shield goes away.... but always comes back. I try again....
same thing it fails to install. Ideas???

Thanks for your time.

James - if you look at my post KB982524.Net update on 24 June - see if
either/both 976576 and 977354 are in Add/Remove - it appears that one gets
two for the price of one dll/install.
Have you tried installing with the 'long way round'?

I have the same problem. I could install KB977354 manually but KB976576 is
not available in standalone. KB982524 fails with error 0x643 with Microsoft
Update and when I attempt a manual install. I have cleared the update cache
and run Microsoft Update again with the update still failing. Does anyone
have a solution yet?

TIA,
Rob

Not sure how useful this will be, but today KB982524 repeatedly failed to
install on my machine. It's been said there is no standalone for this update,
but there is. I got the XP 32-bit standalone .exe for it from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/2/6/426111FA-E964-44A1-B84E-90EAB1DE3EC8/NDP30SP2-KB982524-x86.exe

When first trying to run this, I got a "File is corrupt" message. Downloaded
it again & it installed OK. Went back to Microsoft Update & thankfully it
says I'm up to date.

I've seen very elaborate instructions suggesting a complete uninstall of
..NET Framework, with incremental reinstallations of each update is the only
solution. Fortunately, that seems unnecessary.

Thanks Jonno, your solution worked for me. :)

Have a good day.
