    I tried this same thing. I have a drive C and drive D. drive C is the main
    drive and D is the recovery drive. I followed the instructions above and
    installed on drive D. I received an error trying to run the program not a
    valid win32 program. I moved to drive C like you suggested and still receive
    the error.

  5. I tried all of these fixes and eventully put in my VISTA cd to use the
    upgrade option. However, the "upgrade" is not available and it says the only
    option is to re-install vista (i.e NUKE AND PAVE). I would prefer to find an
    option that won't take me 2 days to re-install all my software, printers,
    etc.....this donesn't seem like a good option....any other suggestions?

    Ignore the title you could try SFC : Some Windows Vista functions may not
    work, or Windows Vista may stop responding

    Tells you about SFC (no guarantees) you still may have t reinstall the OS.

    BTW - always start your own thread.

    I managed to install the clean up utility, but, like most of us, I could not
    find .NET Framework 2.0 in the list to remove it. Help! How come Microsoft
    hasn't come up with a reasonable response for those of us who are still
    suffering?!! How long till they come through??

    BY chance - do most people that are experiencing this problem have Norton
    Internet Security? If you look at your installed updates - it will show you
    when the last update succeeded. The Windows Defender and Malicious Updates
    have worked even with the 64x updates fail. Mine go back to when Norton
    Security center was installed. I turned it off, but still get error - may
    try uninstalling Norton and see if it corrects it. I will repost afterwards.

    Did you look in the registry for the .NET file? I had some issues with the
    ..NET Framework and found it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Microsoft
    | .NETFramework. I had to delete the version in question; in my case it was
    v2.0.50727. I deleted that key and was then able to proceed. ***NOTE***
    Messing with the registry could cause the system to not work. I'm not saying
    this is the way to proceed but it worked for me.

    I haven't worked with Vista yet so these steps are for XP...
    The first thing you want to do is back up the registry. In the Registry
    Editor on the menu bar go to File | Export. Name the file something you can
    remember, I usually put the date in it to help me and then save it to a
    location easy to get to, like C:\temp\ or something. Now that you have a .reg
    file there, if there are any problems with the registry, just double-click
    the .reg file and it will ask if you want to add it to the registry. Try it
    out before attempting to delete anything.

    Now that you have a clean snapshot of your registry that you can reload to
    put it back as it was originally, go in and delete one of the keys. Reboot
    the machine and see if you have any glitches. If yes, reload the saved .reg
    file; if no, delete another key and repeat. This is slow and tedious but if
    you're not comfortable with the registry this is the only way to do it
    yourself.

    Has anyone actually ever fixed this problem? I've seen all the posts on
    what to do but haven't seen any saying problem solved.

    In my case update log shows all of the Defender Updates were successful
    and all the Windows Search 4.0 fails.

    I'm using Dell 1330 laptop, 2.4 GHz, 4Gig RAM, Vista Ultimate on D
    drive.

    Thanks for any guidance.

    ..Joe

    This doesn't work for me. It failed at

    Windows Update Agent failed to install. I guess that this may be older than
    the one I have. I am running Vista SP1, and this article is posted
    8/19/2007. What's the latest Windows update Agent?

    This doesn't work for me. There is no .NET framework in Windows Installer
    Clean Up screen and thus no way to remove it.
