I had a notification this morning that there was an "Important" Windows Update re Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack and .NET Framework...... I've tried three times so far to install it and each time it fails at 99% with Error Code 80070026. I don't really understand anything about this and would be grateful for any help. I'm running Vista Ultimate and I've never had an Update fail before.
I couldn't find any solutions out there, Noreen, only other reports of the problem and the suggestion that people raise it with MS (it's free).
I would be inclined to forget it for now, Noreen, and try again later, or tomorrow. They are bound to be aware of the problem. :)
Is this NET thing important?
It depends on what apps you run that might use it.
The only thing I've noticed that needs it on mine, is Sony Soundforge, an audio editing suite.
I've got a similar problem, I just ignore mine :shake:
May be Vista related, it's just installed OK on my XP machine and also installed with no problem on my Home Server a couple of days ago.
All the reports I could find did involve Vista.
I guess it could be tried with UAC turned off?
I am trying it now on the vista laptop its taking ages to install,went fine on the server yesterday.
Possibly try deleting the update from the Windows\SoftwareDistribution\downloads folder then download it again
No help installed ok on my Vista laptop, you could try turning AV off whilst its installing and do as Glenn said
Thanks, I think that I'll leave it for a little while and see what happens.
Mine installed fine on my Vista laptop last night without turning off antivirus of UAC. No help I know!
My desktop hasn't yet been offered the update.
Downloading and install the patch manually - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en
I've had some issues with 'HyperV Server' and windows updates and have had to install quite a few manually recently :-(.

What are you trying to say? :P
That it doesn't seem to have affected XP users, or people with Macs. ;)
That's because XP and Macs are perfect. :-*
;D
I know, now all we have to do is convert the others. :)
These jokers that use quaint OS, get with the times, Windows 7 :whistle:
I prefer the Telegraph, Glenn. :)
:hehe:

You could get it Mailed to you via Express delivery, using an Independent courier who is the Guardian of the roads with a Sunny disposition, always checking in his Mirror while he listens to the Sport on the radio.
You have got a bad case of the Davids. ;D
It's the drugs I tell you, the David's sound much worse :angel:
His piano playing or... :whistle:

I've four folders, all with long names of numbers and letters and all dated this morning in Windows\Software Distribution\ Downloads. Should I just delete those folders?
Noreen, rename them then if it work delete them
Thanks, I'm also a bit worried about turning off my NOD32 antivirus to download this Update, isn't it risky?
It is, but not hugely so.
Installed ok on Vista here, with nothing turned off. :thumb:
I'm going to try again later.
Tried again this morning, renamed the items in the download folder and turned off NOD32 but got the same result. However I later restarted and it went straight into a check disk saying that some files needed to be checked. Not sure now whether I had something wrong that also caused the Update to not install or whether the failed Update had caused a problem.
Did CHKDSK complete OK?
Yes but I can't remember how to find out what it did.
Me neither, I've only ever read what it said at the time.
It didn't really give me time to read it.
That's the annoying thing with these programs, unless you time the puse key just right, you never do know what was going on.
Allegedly its here in Vista from Control Panel classic view Admin tools
It's located in Event Viewer -> windows protocols -> application, item "wininit".
Alternatively, when running next scandisk, just insert USB flash drive before the scan. After Vista reboots, you will find the log file in the root of USB drive
Whether this is correct I don't know as on XP today

That's where I found it ;D I just omiited the czech to make it sound less dodgy. :blush:
I did a search online and then managed to find this, dated this morning.

It looks like it's cleaned up the disk OK. Have you still not managed to get the update to install?
Haven't tried again yet, not brave enough. ;D
I installed it this afternoon, but of course that was in XP. It did take a long time to install, with both cores being heavily loaded.
Would what was cleaned up account for the Update failing to install?
It shouldn't do, but we are talking Windows. :(
