Bad .NET 1.1 Service Pack 1?

In spite of trying various ways of loading .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
under my new WinXP Service pack 1, I was unable to get it to install.
Typically, the installation would hang after a minute or two of execution.

After many hours of frustration, I called Microsoft tech support and
discussed the issue with them. After asking around, the support person said
there indeed was a bug in the installation file, and to forget about it
until they put out a new release, one which will definitely NOT be called
Service Pack 1 anymore (hmmmm, 1a?).

This was during the afternoon of Sep 10, but as of that evening, there was
no word of this problem on their website.

Incidentally, after the install failed via Windows Update (the new version)
and my Win XP Service Pack 1, I downloaded the installation file from their
website and tried it directly (figuring I would avoid any firewall problems
that way). It still hung. Even the Cancel hung. So did the system shutdown!

Anyone else got more info on this?

Hi Don,

I had the same exact experience. First from WindowsUpdate, then from
download.
Only difference is that I'm installing on a WinXP SP2. Thus, XP SP2 is not
the issue here. The issue is some noob worker publishing untested beta crap
as final versions. And I dont know any workarround.

Shame on you Microsoft!!!
They know there is a serious problem and do nothing about it. Dont even make
public a warning for people to stop trying.

Regards,
Mario

Whoops, I meant to say Windows XP Service pack 2 rather than Windows XP
Service Pack 1.

Service Pack 1 was for the subject of this posting - .NET Framework 1.1

Dear Group If you want to perform a slipstreamed install of .NET Framework 1.1, including Service Pack 1, here's how. First, what do we mean by slipstreamed install? It means that version 1.1 of the framework will be installed, with the service pack 1 update already applied, "slipstreamed". There will be no need to download additional updates or install service packs as a secondary step.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
