I have now managed to install all 3 of these updates. I refer you to the
posts by Wiesshund at:

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vistawu/thread/6e6faae4-83fc-4f8f-856d-5667dcb3143b

I went to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx and searched
for each of the problematic KB numbers and downloaded the standalone updates
in turn. They each downloaded and installed succesfully so my PC is now up to
date.

The thing to note is that the standalone updates DO NOT contain Fix it 50123
packaged with them. Just the update executable. For example the download for
KB979909 for my XP Pro machine is NDP20SP2-KB979909-x86.exe.

But that still leaves me wondering why Fix it 50123 will not run on my
machine.

KB976569 KB979909 KB979906 fail to install
The three .NET updates fail to install. I have manually deleted all .Net
Framework packages and reinstalled. I have applied Microsoft Fix It 50123. I
have used the .NET cleanup tool to uninstall all .NET Framework packages
twice and reinstalled in the correct order (3.5 first then 1.1 etc) and still
I cannot get these updates to install. I opened a request for assistance via
email and was simply referred back to here.

I have the following in update history:

Error Code: 0x643
Try to install the update again, or request help from one of the following
resources.


BUT the event log for each failed update is as follows:

Perhaps the event log may help someone help me to fix this problem. I have
been trying to fix this for days now. Ihave tried to run scripten.exe to
enable scripting but that says my software is newer and I dont need to run
it. I have also reinstalled the winows installer latest version (I believe)

I got the same error code and after several hours and no help (the Microsoft
tech was in my computer remotely and eventually HE goes to a web page and
google's it - OMG - I could do that myself. Anyway, this was my solution and
it worked for me (and please note I DID NOT uninstall ANYTHING manually -
just downloaded the items again - could not understand any of the MS
instructions for uninstalling - messed up my computer doing them - got more
error codes and then used the SYSTEM RESTORE feature to restore computer to
previous day before the updates and my screw ups trying to fix it).

So, use SYSTEM RESTORE if you think you messed up, then:

I had the issue with NET framework 1.1 not being able to install. Other
people have had .NET 3.5 etc, but the process should be the same.

I decided if it was an issue with 1.1 (or 3.5 etc) I would try re-installing
it without uninstalling as some people have suggested. Uninstalling was too
risky as it messed up something else, causing me to click on START and then
go to system restore to previous day (hence I would not advise uninstalling
any .NET manually if you do not know what the heck you are doing, or why).

I went to microsoft.com, then to DOWNLOADS, then on the right
hand side it says frequent destinations or something, DOWNLOAD CENTER. In the
download center box I typed .NET framework 1.1 and reinstalled it and the 1.1
service pack too. So, you could try this - type in the versions of .NET
framework it says did not work, click download for each, and also check for SP
(service pack) updates too. After that was done (and I did get one error
message that something was shutting down during this too), I clicked on that
darned yellow shield again and it installed fine and restarted fine too. Not
sure if this will help you or anyone else, but I hope so!

Apparently MS was aware this would be an issue for some - shame their
website does not help more!

It is also reinforced by the error in the event log which clearly states
that Fix it 50123 has failed to install (not that the update failed to

The windows update site (whatever that means) can be found by clicking Tools
in Internet explorer 7 and selecting Windows Update from the menu. This will
take you to
http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

problematic updates were found by this method, The Updates which actually

Quite the contrary. OP made no mention of "lock-down environment" in any of

I wonder if the inability to update reflects a viral type issue designed to keep the computer vulnerable and unable to be patched.

Microsoft, Ms. Fernandez, serve the customer please.

Telling someone to go to the library to look for a solution is a non-solution. It's like saying I'm sure there is an answer somewhere out there, you just need to go find it.

I'm wondering if this goes beyond corruption of the underlying program and there is something viral that is designed to prevent the security patch from being applied to keep the vulnerability in place.
