I'm having trouble installing the .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 update, and its causing me not to be able to upgrade to XP SP3 or install a program that requires that. Here's what i've done so far: Completely uninstalled every version of .Net Framework, restarted computer as required and used the Windows Uninstaller to ensure they were completely removed. I then reinstalled everything starting at 1.0 then the service pack, then 2.0 etc....I used to not be able to install the base 3.5 but now I can...but once I get 3.5 installed I can't get the service pack installed. I've got updated virus definitions and it is clear of viruses, I've updated the ad-aware program and there is no malware or other issues. I've defragmented, ran the SFC System File Checker utility, chkdsk, defragged the registry and cleaned it....no luck!

Yes Windows Installer 3.1 is installed. It has been removed and reinstalled at least twice.

wackydaddy, FYI, I tried the links and was quickly redirected to both. If you can't get there, suspect it's you. Worm/trojan? HTH. Ed in Texas.
