Security Update Net Framework 1.1 SP1 Fails and reprompts constantly

[SickAndTired]

Hello. No malware problem but am curious about this issue (if it is one). Thanks.

Security Update Net Framework 1.1 SP1 Fails and reprompts constantly even though I have the latest versions installed. I had tried to install this in the past and it failed so I hid it so it would stop prompting me and I just remembered about it.

I have many versions installed, up to Net Framework 3.5 SP1 as well as Net Framework 4 Client Profile. All of them include many more updates under each seperate listing.

1.1 SP1 is not in the list. Not sure why it never installed originally.

Is it safe to ignore it and keep it hidden in updates?

Hi David. Yes, exactly as far as I can tell. I cannot try those steps right now but will give them a go this evening when I have free time. Thanks, I will get back with you. OH, if I may ask ... is it possible/okay even, to apply an older update with all the newer ones on there now? Thx

Based upon that thread, I would suggest marking the HotFix such that it is no longer offered as an available Windows Update.

I got all the exact messages as was shown in those screenshots on that thread. S, just to be sure ... you are telling me I do "not" need to install this update and I can hide it once again? I will be happy not to have to fuss with it further.

I can't stay in here tonight so will check back in tomorrow.

"you are telling me I do "not" need to install this update and I can hide it once again?"

Yes.

Great! Looks like I have nothing to worry about then. Thank you very much for your time, David.
