Windows update fails with error code 0x643

Anonymous
2009-10-14T15:22:25+00:00

I have downloaded the recent Microsoft updates and all but one installed successfully.  The failing update was:  Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 (KB953297);

with an error code of  0x643.

We tried several times to install it and it keeps failing.  It was originally the 3rd update in the list to install.  After failing the first time, it was the only one we were trying to install.  We tried it after the restart required for the other updates.

    SOLUTION

    I solved the problem, but none of this did it, and may be unnecessary for most of you. I continually had problems installing .NET 1.1 SP1, NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe.

    This was a totally clean install on Server 2003 R2 x64. I had run the cleanup tool, and installed .NET and the patches in the often-given order on the Microsoft forums and here.

    I solved this by running the .NET cleanup tool (I am virtually positive this was unnecessary in hindsight), installing .NET1.1, .NET 2.0, then extracting the files for .NET 1.1 SP1 (This is the command to extract them to the already created C:\temp: NDP1.1sp1-KB953297-X86.exe /Xp:c:\temp), and simply right clicked on the extracted file, S867460.msp, and hit apply. It went in fine. From there, it was all set.

    This is not a problem with our systems, but the patch.

    Are there any concrete fixes for windows 7 yet? Would the new upcoming framework fix it?
