KB953297

I am unable to install as many others have indicated. Is it a Microsoft
problem? Does anyone have a fix? I am tired of seeing the yellow shield pop
up!

Unless Users contact MS and report this installation issue then
Microsoft will *never* be aware of it.
This is an *ongoing issue with .NET Security updates*.

PLEASE call MS as they will provide *no-charge support* in getting this
update installed.
From KB953927:

With all due respect Mow, if MS are still unaware of the widespread problems
with the latest suite of updates, they have their heads right up their
collective arses (or asses, if you prefer). It is unfair to users as well as
to you guys who assist in these groups day in and day out.

LOL, Bill. Unfair or not, trust me, MS is *not* aware of how many Users
are experiencing issues installing the latest round of updates unless
said Users contact them. There is no MS presence in this newsgroup.

In regards to updating, the primary method for MS' data collection
comes from Users' systems sending it to MS. But, that data is skewed
when an update appears to install properly, the info is sent to MS
servers, the User reboots, and the update is offered again.
The User attempts to install it again, the data is again sent as a
succesful installation, the User reboots, the update is offered again.

After reading a great deal of posts in this NG it appears that a primary
cause of update installation failure this month is that there were just
too many of them being done at once. Then add in a kernel update and an
update for the notoriously brittle .NET Framework. The result is what
we're seeing in NGs and on forums ... a *much* higher number of Users
reporting update installation issues.
And wireless networks break ... and systems don't boot after installing
the updates ... and broken .NET Frameworks that must be uninstalled and
reinstalled.

It's highly unusual to see the number of posts that show a User manually
downloading the updates, installing them, rebooting, and there are no
installation issues. To me, that's an indication that certain updates
should have installed on their own (known as an exclusive installation)
and NOT in conjunction with the installation of other updates.

NOTE this change. I added the asterisks -

The .NET update is extremely complex and it needed to be installed by
itself
with no other update installation taking place. It is now thanks to
those who immediately contacted MS to report the installation failures.
You can bet your bottom dollar that those who reported this issue were
Business or Enterprise Users.
*Home Users need to report updating issues* as Business and Enterprise
do so that MS is made aware of them.
