Why does Net framework 4 client profile stop Windows Update from working?

[AWS]

Windows 7 32-bit + Service Pack 1. I was having problems trying to update using the Windows Update program. Each time that it was run, it crashed with the error 80244002F.I tried various solutions found, including the Windows Fixit, but nothing seemed to work. Eventually I came across the suggestion that it would work if Net framework 4 client profile were uninstalled.I tried this, did a reset, and Windows Update worked without a hitch, downloading and installing 13 updates. I ran Update again. This time it suggested one important update, which I allowed it to download and install. Unfortunatly (?) this was .... Net framework

4 client profile!Once that was installed, Windows Update no longer worked. I uninstalled it, and Windows Update worked straight away… trying to get me to install Net framework 4 client profile again!This I have not done. I now find that CorelDRAW X6 needs NF4CP to work! I am now left in the position where I either have Windows Update blocked, or a non-functioning CorelDRAW—unless, of course, I am prepared to continually uninstall before trying to update,

and re-install again afterwards!Is there any way of solving BOTH problems successfully WITHOUT creating yet another problem/clash?
