Even better, there's an update to both .net frameworks, but for me, on
3
servers, the update to v1.0 does not install, claiming in the event log
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework (English) -- Error 1706.No valid
source
could be found for product Microsoft .NET Framework (English). The
Windows
installer cannot continue.
A bit rude to followup my own mail, however ...
As I mentioned the patch for v1.0 of the .net framework was failing when
installing from Windows Update.
Aaron Stebner bloged some details on what's happening at
http://weblogs.asp.net/astebner/archive/2004/09/20/232236.aspx
One way to check if the repair issue is affecting you is to grab the patch
from downloads.microsoft.com (
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6978d761-4a92-4106-a9bc-83e78d4abc5b&DisplayLang=en
) and run it manually. The silent install that WindowsUpdate uses swallows
the error message.
To apply the patch follow the instructions on Aaron's blog entry to extract
the files from the 1.0 download (

)
Note that if you do this V1.0 will register itself as the asp.net handler if
you're running IIS. If you are running v1.1, or 2.0 betas you will need to
re-register the correct version, either via the command line, changing to
c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework then change directory into the version
number corresponding to the version you want to handle IIS requests and then
run aspnet_regiis -i or by using the asp.net version switcher provided by
