Resolved Question

Net frame 4

by Sep 3, 2011 6:09AM PDT

Tried to download on a friends PC windows updates for W7 by 64 IE9 Sp1. One worked. Net frame 4 failed. Went to the Microsoft knowledge base but it is outdated. Should I remove from ad remove the updates what I downloaded today? It shows though 6 updates Net frame 4 Client and Net frame 4 Profile. Also used fix it now and it said it fixed it but the same issue comes up when I tried to re download the updates. Every thing worked fine when He downloaded the last update for Day light savings.
As always I'm grate full for your help.

won't need .NET framework 4.0. I had an issue at work where our programmer wrote an application and it failed and said .NET framework was required. That was a very specific application and the programmer was using a new technology. Most applications for general use are written for the masses and don't take advantage of new technologies until they become standard.

Thank you, for the detailed info. I gave up after after several hours. Was more concerned about the fires around here. Put a check mark "don't show this update any more". Maybe another update will correct it? Strange 2 updates installed just fine but one did not. Now the are installed twice.

What app do you have that use NET framework 4?

So far there are so few that we can uninstall and carry on without it.

Bob,
not sure what He has installed. He uses the PC only for a few things like email Yahoo. He has Live Mail and Silver light installed. It is an HP machine He got about 9 month ago. I installed Norton 360 and the free MBAM and SAS when He got the PC. Did all the virus scans and every thing is O.K. Do you think I can ignore does updates so the will not show again. This is an elderly Person and I don't want do upset Him with does updates. Thank you for the fast reply.

The .NET install failures are well discussed.

So are the workarounds. My answer is to see if you needed it. Most folk don't.
