Net Framework

[BC]

I am having a problem with the Windows update sight in that it continually
wants to download updates for Net framework. It has already succuesfully
downloaded them several times but continues to tell me they need to be
downloaded. Update site shows succuesful downloads no failures. I have
deleted all versions of NF and redownloaded.
Apart from "hiding" these updates any ideas ?

Either the installed .NET Frameworks have an "issue" or security
software is preventing the updates from installing properly.

See - Updated: what to do if other .NET Framework setup troubleshooting
steps do not help

*IF* security software is what's causing an issue with the brittle .NET
Frameworks then the only work around is to configure the system to Clean
boot prior to doing the steps that Aaron suggests -

After configuring the system to Clean boot, suggest you first start with
Step 6, "Download and run the .NET Framework verification tool ".

If the installed .NET Frameworks can not be Verified, then do Step 1 to
see if it/they can be restored to a verifiable state.
If no joy, go to Step 2, etc, etc.
