NET Framework KB2742597 fails to install. Keeps reinstalling

[AWS]

Every time I run Windows update it says the .NET Framework 1.1 needs to install KB2742597 The process downloads this update and installs it. The menus says it was finished correctly. The next time I run Windows update it goes through the same motions again.

 

.NET Frameworks version up through 4.0 are installed. I have tried over 11 fixes and nothing works. Some of the more interesting ones are:

1. Run Mr. Fixit which says it installed all updates for Windows correctly. But the next time I run update the same problem is still there.

 

2. Remove all .NET Framework versions including 1.1 and then reinstalling. All of them work except the one.

 

3. Run the cleanup utility. No good.

 

The log file for this update which I found in the Software Distribution folder says that Framework 1.1 cannot find .Net Framework version 20a. I did not find this file anywhere in the entire Microsoft library. I found some web sites with Google that proclaimed

to have this file. I downloaded one and installed it but the KB2742597 still wants to install.
