Ok. I am EXTREMELY frustrated about this. I get error code 643. It is because I try to use Windows auto update and it says there are two updates available. When I try to install them, it will not install them. The two updates are: Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x64 based systems (KB954430) and then, Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2
(KB941833). The first one is important, the second recommended. Now,.....I tried following the instructions about downloading the msicuu2 file and right clicking run as administrator. After downloading it and right clicking, I get a window that says:
Window Script Host with a big red x and then:
Script:
C:\Users|COVING~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsi.vbs
Line: 10
Char: 5
Error: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable
Code: 80070570
Source: null
So, that shoots that down. Now, I followed the advice of another thread and tried to manually uninstall the .net framework programs that I had installed. I went to control panel, remove programs, and right clicked and uninstalled microsoft .net 1.1 software. Then, I followed the recommendations and downloaded new .net software, but when I try to install it, I get the next cute little window (extreme bitterness here people) :
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Info 9006. This patch cannot be installed because it requires Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1). No Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP can be detected on this computer. Please see
Description of the security update for the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 for Windows XP and Windows 2000: July 10, 2007 for more details.
I am at my wits end. I hate computers now, forever. All I was trying to do was play some computer games on my nice new fast Gateway PC. I should have never even tried.
