I had to reformat my laptop (blue screens) and now I cannot update service packs.
SP 2 gives error that it needs .NET Framework 2 SP 2, but when I try to install that one, it says it needs Windows xp service pack 2 to install .NET Framework 3.5.
But I am trying to install .NET 2 SP 2, not .NET 3.5.
I did initially try to install 3.5 by mistake and now nothing helps. I tried to remove .NET frameworks 1.1 but this does not help.
I am stuck because without xp SP 2, most things dont work.
Please Help!!
