Windows Update .net 1.1 Service Pack 1 install issues

Hi

I am continually reminded that I have the .net 1.1 Service Pack 1
downloaded and available to install by Windows Update. However, it
continually fails to install when selected.

I already have .net 2.0 successfully installed, so I don't think that I
even need it!!

Shouldn't the Update facility recognise that I have 2.0 installed and
not offer the 1.1 patch? Is there anyway to reset the update facility
to eliminate this patch being offered?

Thanks

Neil

Disregarding the error for a moment, it's completely acceptable to have both
1.1 and 2.0 installed. 2.0 is not a replacement for 1.1 - they can exist
side by side. If you in fact do not have 1.1 installed, evidently the update
thinks you do have it installed. So the issue is the install error, not
whether having 1.1 together with 2.0 is a problem (it's not).
