Ok, I need my .Net Framework updated to run a new program. When I downloaded the v3.0 from Microsoft's updates page, I ran through the installation process, somewhere during either the download or installation a problem occured and it stopped. I'm not sure which phase it was on because I left my system to work on it's own a while (updating). Anyhow I restarted and tried to install again, the same problem occurs. So I decided to try Windows update directly from the start menu, I selected the .Net Framework update along with others, the same thing happened during this completely different process, except it told me to add/remove the patch KB888162 (the one I was installing). Or contact my system admin. So I did so, and I still can't get anything to work. Is there something obvious that's wrong? The program started with the error that I needed a newer version of .Net Framework, now it says that the proper error message could not be displayed because some .dll file didn't work or something. And it says that I need to reinstall .Net Framework... yeah sure thing, if I could! Please anyone that knows the potential problem help me out. Thanks for reading.
