Windows framework.net installation successful, or was it?

by g_penguin Jul 13, 2007 11:28PM PDT

The update for framework.net was successful on my computer. For those trying to download, I wouldn't bother just yet. After the install I had to do a system restore to before its install. It seems that if you own a laptop, you will no longer be able to go into stand-by mode when clossing the laptop. Just an FYI for those trying to get the install to work.

Note: The one installed on my computer was framework.net ver 1.1 SP1

All problems with the latest updates with net framework are because you need to have

Net framework version 1.1 SP1
The hotfix for Version 1.1 SP1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8EC6FB8A-29EB-49CF-9DBC-1A0DC2273FF9&displaylang=en
Net framework 2.0

all can be downloaded here

after you install the net framework(s), the windows updates will disappear.

Ahm, thanks

but I have those now. I was just stating that it is possible that if you do finally get it downloaded you will have problems with it. I checked under my add/remove and I have all those listed. When I got the update. It just made my compter not shut down into stand-by. I have been emailing back and forth with a woman at microsoft help center who is convinced I had this problem BEFORE the update was installed, but I didn't. The only way I can go into stand by is to roll back the computer to the day before the update was installed.

Oh, and you were right, I didn't get asked to install the same update over and over like others have because I had all of that stuff already. I just couldn't go into stand-by after the download.
