Vista .NET Framework 1.1, Service Pack 1

I was able to get a successful install of the subject framework. After about

eight hours of frustration, I went part way with a possible route given by

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100.

First, I deleted .NET Framework 1.1 software via "Add & Remove" in Control

Panel. I restarted the system and re-installed 1.1 with no difficulty.

Second, I then tried to re-install SP 1 via Windows Update. It took me two

separate occasions, but the basic 1.1 update took first.

Finally, I again restarted and checked Windows Update again. I was presented

with the Security Update for 1.1, SP 1 and it also installed without a hitch

for me.

How was that for dumb luck!.
