Repeated Updates
« on: May 21, 2012, 03:54:40 PM »
I just finished installing "Security Update for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB2518864)" and "Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB2572073)" but now it keeps popping up asking me to download and install the updates again. Any ideas why it would be still doing this?

    i'm having the EXACT same problem.
    also running XP.
    i've never had any problems with Windows Updates before.
    - i'm NOT running a server, by the way. i installed .NET some time back; an app i wanted to use wouldn't work without it.
    - if anybody knows anything about this... (Thanks in advance.)

    This just happened to me a couple days ago on an old Windows 2000 laptop.  I thought it had something to do with Win2k.  I uninstalled all .NET since it doesn't need them.  Search for the .NET Cleanup Tool.

    There seems to be a bug with these updates. What I've done is install them, reboot, and then hide the updates next time they appear.

      Has everyone's problem with this been fixed?
      Microsoft supposedly fixed the thing:

      i'm still considering running the .NET Cleanup Tool - no issues of it that you know of? system instabilities afterward, etc?

      Thanks.

      Updates bugged me the first time after I restarted my computer, but it seems like they're all gone now.

        Not sure. Last night I installed a whole bunch of low priority updates from the MS website. This morning I still had the yellow icon but this time only 1 update (KB963093). I did a custom (vs express) install and I got a prompt to restart my computer. This is different because yesterday I wasn't asked to restart. I'll report back later.

        We've already established there is a known issue with these updates.
