Windows XP SP3. Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update fails to install repeatedy.
I keep getting this update which fails. I am not a techy guy and I don't have time or confidence to run all kinds of removal tools and such like, and it concerns me that the computer might fail if I do so. Please provide a simple solution to this problem.
Why do not your updates report back to you if they were unsuccessful so that you can automatically fix them in the next update? My e-mail is

I don't think you'll find a simple solution for this problem (unless you consider "hiding" the update or formatting your HDD & doing a clean install of WinXP to be simple solutions).
When installing updates using Windows update or Microsoft Update you may receive Error 0x643 or 0x80070643 (23 Oct-09)

=====================
Step #1 => Before doing anything else, write down what .NET Framework versions are currently installed:
When you try to install an update for the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5, you may receive Windows Update error code "0x643" or Windows Installer error code "1603" (ignore the title, if need be) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100
After running the appropriate/needed tool, (re)install all .NET Framework versions (but only the ones you wrote down in #1 above) manually using the download links on the page then run Windows Update manually to install security updates for same.
NB: If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 using the tool, reinstalling .NET Framework 3.5 will also install .Net Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2; then Windows Update will offer .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
IMPORTANT! => If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, reinstall your .NET Framework versions in the following order:
Step #3 => Check-in at Windows Update and install any critical security updates offered.
