Default MS Update fpor .NET Framework

If you use a Dial-up connection it could take that long or more.
High speed internet service and the download time will not
be all that bad.

After the download completes the installation does take a while
so you should not use the PC for anything else until the install
completes. Note: When you see the message that the installation
has completed and you are asked to "Reboot/Restart" your PC
wait until you see the hard disk activity stop and stays idle
for at least 1 minute, then you can reboot.

Do you need this update: There is a lot of discussion on
this but if you check the current versions of .NET installed
on your PC (Control Panel, Add/Remove programs) then
based on what versions on .NET you have installed I may
be able to save you some time and disk space.

Great JS, thanks SO much ! Yea, I have DSL, but it's not the fastest, but I
can go ahead & run it.

As far as the current Framework, I am trying to Post a screen cap but got
it too big - do you need all of them or the most recent ?

Again, thanks

framework, but it said it was still too large ! also, i cannot copy & paste

Default MS Update fpor .NET Framework

This will bring your PC up to date (Less the large .NET 3.5 SP1 download)

Note: When installing each of these Service Packs even though
the status may indicate the installation has completed and may
ask you to restart your PC, keep an eye on the hard drive light
activity or use 'Task Manager' until your PC shows no disk activity
or task manager show the CPU is in a 'Idle' state for at least
30 seconds to 1 minute before restarting/rebooting the PC.

Install order.
1) Net Framework Redistributable 1.0 SP2
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
(Includes SP1)

2) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

3) NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

4) Net Framework 1.1 hotfix (kb886903)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

5) NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
(You indicated that you already have .Net 2.0 SP1 installed)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
32 Bit Windows download File is named = NetFx20SP2_x86.exe
(Restart is required)

6) Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for Windows XP x86, and
Windows Server 2003 x86
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Note: Disregard the title of the article.
Scroll down the web page to the section titled: "Files in This Download"
You want the 32 Bit Windows download file named = NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe
(8.6MB)
(This is the "Family Update" for .Net 2.0 SP2)

7) There is no stand alone .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 download file, so you will
not be able to
install the "Family Update" for .Net 3.0 as the Family Update requires that
3.0 SP2 is installed before trying to install the Family Update, and
unfortunately the only way to install .Net 3.0 SP2 is by downloading and
installing the .NET 3.5 SP1 update that you are trying to avoid.

Default MS Update fpor .NET Framework

Here is a list of .Net Framework security updates.
Take note that not all apply to Windows XP and
not all are "English" language updates.
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/...ork%20security

Most likely these updates will also be available when you use
"Windows Update", unless you have them already installed.

This will bring your PC up to date (Less the large .NET 3.5 SP1 download)

Note: When installing each of these Service Packs even though
the status may indicate the installation has completed and may
ask you to restart your PC, keep an eye on the hard drive light
activity or use 'Task Manager' until your PC shows no disk activity
or task manager show the CPU is in a 'Idle' state for at least
30 seconds to 1 minute before restarting/rebooting the PC.

Install order.
1) Net Framework Redistributable 1.0 SP2
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
(Includes SP1)

2) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

3) NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

4) Net Framework 1.1 hotfix (kb886903)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

5) NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
(You indicated that you already have .Net 2.0 SP1 installed)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
32 Bit Windows download File is named = NetFx20SP2_x86.exe
(Restart is required)

6) Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for Windows XP x86, and
Windows Server 2003 x86
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Note: Disregard the title of the article.
Scroll down the web page to the section titled: "Files in This Download"
You want the 32 Bit Windows download file named =
NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe (8.6MB)
(This is the "Family Update" for .Net 2.0 SP2)

7) There is no stand alone .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 download file, so you
will not be able to
install the "Family Update" for .Net 3.0 as the Family Update requires
that 3.0 SP2 is installed before trying to install the Family Update, and
unfortunately the only way to install .Net 3.0 SP2 is by downloading and
installing the .NET 3.5 SP1 update that you are trying to avoid.

this but if you check the current versions of .NET installed
on your PC (Control Panel, Add/Remove programs) then
based on what versions on .NET you have installed I may
be able to save you some time and disk space.

Default MS Update fpor .NET Framework

i tried to attach a very small error message & it says "too large" ! what a
crock as i never had this problem in the past as i could attach & insert
screen caps, but since i updated the Gadwin print screen program it won't
allow me to attach/insert anything !

anyway, i tried the first framework update & got a small error message that
something was not found that would allow it to install

Here is a list of .Net Framework security updates.
Take note that not all apply to Windows XP and
not all are "English" language updates.
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/...ork%20security

Most likely these updates will also be available when you use
"Windows Update", unless you have them already installed.

This will bring your PC up to date (Less the large .NET 3.5 SP1
download)

Note: When installing each of these Service Packs even though
the status may indicate the installation has completed and may
ask you to restart your PC, keep an eye on the hard drive light
activity or use 'Task Manager' until your PC shows no disk activity
or task manager show the CPU is in a 'Idle' state for at least
30 seconds to 1 minute before restarting/rebooting the PC.

Install order.
1) Net Framework Redistributable 1.0 SP2
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
(Includes SP1)

2) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

3) NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

4) Net Framework 1.1 hotfix (kb886903)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

5) NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
(You indicated that you already have .Net 2.0 SP1 installed)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
32 Bit Windows download File is named = NetFx20SP2_x86.exe
(Restart is required)

6) Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for Windows XP x86, and
Windows Server 2003 x86
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Note: Disregard the title of the article.
Scroll down the web page to the section titled: "Files in This
Download"
You want the 32 Bit Windows download file named =
NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe (8.6MB)
(This is the "Family Update" for .Net 2.0 SP2)

7) There is no stand alone .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 download file, so
you will not be able to
install the "Family Update" for .Net 3.0 as the Family Update requires
that 3.0 SP2 is installed before trying to install the Family Update,
and unfortunately the only way to install .Net 3.0 SP2 is by
downloading and installing the .NET 3.5 SP1 update that you are trying
to avoid.

Great JS, thanks SO much ! Yea, I have DSL, but it's not the
fastest, but I
can go ahead & run it.

As far as the current Framework, I am trying to Post a screen cap
but got it too big - do you need all of them or the most recent ?

Again, thanks

If you use a Dial-up connection it could take that long or more.
High speed internet service and the download time will not
be all that bad.

After the download completes the installation does take a while
so you should not use the PC for anything else until the install
completes. Note: When you see the message that the installation
has completed and you are asked to "Reboot/Restart" your PC
wait until you see the hard disk activity stop and stays idle
for at least 1 minute, then you can reboot.

You only need to restart if you are prompted to restart.
If and when you are asked to restart wait until all disk
activity stops which will be about 1 to 2 minutes after
the restart message appears.
