Happened on the 15th. When I Google/Bing it I have 2 choices...download one of two unknown fix-it "softwares" or read posts by people who have no f'n idea what they're talking about. The best they can figure out is that it has to do with permissions.

I have Win7 Home Premium 64bit.

 

By the way, I never use .NET. So maybe I should just let MS figger out they goofed and send out a future update fix? Sounds like a plan. ;)

Oh this is cute. I tried downloading that exact file from the official MS site and it said I already have that update installed on my computer. I guess it's a glitch in the Windows Update thingy. Sorry about the alarm.

Kinda sorta. Well, I'm just gonna assume that what I found out in my second post is correct and that it did install correctly and the Windows Update app failed to recognize it as so. ;)

You might say it's a complexity of incoherent design. But then you always say that. :P

 

I just looked at W Update and see that the same update was retried and successful last night. Whether that's because I tried to install it from the MS site and maybe shook WU's memory bank into thinking, "Oh yeah...that.", I'll never know. But it's installed. So, goody. :)
