Thanks. I did find a KB article on this. It seems that even though the original dotNet installer extracts its files into a TEMP directory, those files must remain for the patches to work. The work around is to extract the file netfx.msi & netfx1.cab from dotnetfx.exe and point the installer to it. It seems obvious to me how silly this requirement is but I will not presume to know that there isn't a good reason. :-\ ...
In Microsoft's words: "The link to the cached Windows Installer package for the original framework installation is missing or broken. " BTW... this was a problem with SP1 as well, so I'm sure they have a good reason. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Alex Dresko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 9:50 AM To: dotnet Subject: RE: .net framework service pack 2 is available I had a little trouble getting the SP2 download to install so I just went to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and let the website do it for me. It worked like a champ after that.

It's pointing at: C:\DOCUME~1\myUser\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\ The update seems to have worked fine on our server thank goodness. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Duane Douglas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 4:29 AM To: dotnet Subject: .net framework service pack 2 is available <http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/sp/default.asp> Duane Douglas Web Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to dotnet as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --------- Administrated by 15 Seconds : http://www.15Seconds.com List Archives/Search : http://local.15Seconds.com/search Subscription Information : http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm Advertising Information: http://www.internet.com/mediakit/ --- You are currently subscribed to dotnet as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --------- Administrated by 15 Seconds : http://www.15Seconds.com List Archives/Search : http://local.15Seconds.com/search Subscription Information : http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm Advertising Information: http://www.internet.com/mediakit/ --- You are currently subscribed to dotnet as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --------- Administrated by 15 Seconds : http://www.15Seconds.com List Archives/Search : http://local.15Seconds.com/search Subscription Information : http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm Advertising Information: http://www.internet.com/mediakit/ --- You are currently subscribed to dotnet as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --------- Administrated by 15 Seconds : http://www.15Seconds.com List Archives/Search : http://local.15Seconds.com/search Subscription Information : http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm Advertising Information: http://www.internet.com/mediakit/ --- You are currently subscribed to dotnet as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------- Administrated by 15 Seconds : http://www.15Seconds.com List Archives/Search : http://local.15Seconds.com/search Subscription Information : http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm Advertising Information: http://www.internet.com/mediakit/
