Trouble is people don't follow instructions :))) did you try removing the
..net frameworks by using the net fix utility and then re-installing them? I
didn't think so :))

Obviously something else is wrong with your system that will be diffficult
to troubleshoot remotely and without access to the machine.

I say this because although there may be many people with the problem - in
relative terms - there are very few of the TOTAL who could have the problem
with it. I have not seen it myself - and manage several thousand machines
that could be affected by it.

If the normal means of repairing the issue do not fix it for you but has
worked for others - then the problem you have is more unique than you may
have first thought and the best solution for you may be to start over.

Be sure your backups are complete before you do this. ;-)

Did the uninstall succeed? I'm baffled I must say ....
<thinks> How about some process is using the .net framework and not allowing
the update in the normal way .. (the process would then make use of .net
framework as soon as it is re-installed) .... Did you go through your
running processes and kill as many as possible before trying to update?
