Sorry Michael, but I think the Service Pack 1 for 3.5 *may* be missing. MS dotNet packages confuse the hell out of me, so I grabbed yours and threw it on a box a couple of weeks ago. On going to MSUpdate it wants to put this on:

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86 [1].

Which is 69.2MB, and apparently should be followed by the KB958481/3/4 patches that are already in your Pack.

[1] I grabbed it from here.

It isn't missing, I can assure you .NET 3.5 SP1 is definitely in the pack. The update you speak of is essentially a post .NET 3.5 SP1 update. Hope this helps

That 69.2MB update is a standalone exe of the SP1, plus further exes for each of KB95848[1|3|4]. Add that to an installed 3.5-with-no-SP and you are almost up-to-date (WU reports a couple of other little non-critical KBs).

This is a mystery then: I've just taken your pack and recursively extracted things so I'm happy to confirm it has the 3.5-with-SP1-included installer in it.

Perhaps my trouble relates to one of the post SP1 KBs not installing for some reason, and it would have to be the 3.0 one because it's a too old version of a file in there that gave me the trouble. I'll see if I can repro this on a couple of other boxes sometime this week and post the results.

Meanwhile do you actually need the 2.0 & 3.0 installers in the pack i.e. doesn't the 3.5-with-SP1 installer contain those?

Are these all MSIs?

This is where it gets confusing. NET 3.5 SP1 also contains SP2 for .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0, so they must both be installed for SP2 to be applied.

The site is down for a while as I make some changes Nothing to worry about!

Ah.. that is a good reason and I believe it, but in that case the root cause of my confusion is that dotNet 3.0 *definitely* contains and installs a full 2.0 (if required) so you shouldn't need that.

Can you tell that I think installing the full+patched dotNet "suite" takes forever? I suppose removing the separate 2.0 wouldn't help much, that is in principle the 3.0 should notice and not try to install it again.
