Windows XP SP3 -- automatic updates enabled.
I have a version of McAfee that was installed when I bought the computer.

I would like to remove .net 1.1 from this computer.
In add/remove, it shows that program.

When I try to uninstall it, it says "Another installation is in progress."

The history of my problem is:
1) Saw the updates icon on the taskbar. When I started the update process,
McAfee popped up and said "Suspicious script detected." Sadly, I lost the
note I made with whatever details were provided. I only remember it said
something about trying to create a text file. Don't remember if it said .txt.
I allowed it to stop the script.

2) The update process said 'An update failed to install' and identified it
as .net1.1 (KB979906). I clicked Cancel, making the rash assumption that
this would cancel the update. The update icon persisted on my task bar, so I
started updates again, guessing that there were some other updates. I did
this several times, resulting in errors 643 (once), 80242007 once, and 652
(five times). Each time, I hit the Cancel button.

3) Tried to install another program (opera) and got the "Another
installation in progress" message.

4) Downloaded some other MS updates and installed without problems.

5) Found this forum by checking out error 652 and read all the message re
garding .net.

6) Found .net 1.1 in the Add/Remove list. Since I have no known use for
it, I tried to uninstall it. It said "Another installation in progress."

I only run IE8, Google Chrome (rarely), Google Earth, Visual Studio
(writing VB6 programs just for fun) and "Progammer's File Editor" on this
machine.
