I use a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop running Windows XP Professional. When
Automatic update tried to install "Security Update for Microsoft.NET
Framework Version 1.1 Service Pack 1" it failed. The error message was
KB886903. Is there anything I can do to correct this problem?

Thanks. Rick.

-----------------------------------------------
Note: Information from Peevee
I didn't apply line 5 why?
Couldn't install Run dotnet.exe for a fresh new .net install.
Without line 5 all went well
copy of line 5:
5. Go to the start menu, then run. Type in "msconfig" and set it to
Diagnostic and then reboot to prevent other software from getting in the way
of the install.
