Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (KB110806) failed
Ivan Versluis December 27th, 2007
Last year Microsoft released their Service Pack 1 for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (KB110806). For some reason the Service Pack 1 did not install and generated a lot of error messages in the system eventlog or displays the illustrated screenshot below. In my case the SP1 update failed and the Windows Update Agent (Automatic updates) retried to reinstall constantly; because the failed the production Microsoft SQL Server 2005 server failed to start the “SQL Server Agent” service which is depending on the .NET Framework many of the scheduled jobs failed to run.
Screenshot 1 - Automatic Updates - Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (KB110806) were not installed.
This behavior may also occur with:
- Autodesk Autocad 2008
- Quickbooks 2008
- Backup Exec
- Any other application depending on .NET Framework
If you are a novice user than read my “User guide” below how to remove the failed installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (KB110806) with “Windows Installer CleanUp Utility”.
I start to troubleshoot and hopefully these steps will help you fixing your installations.
