Hi,

did you try to install this KB manually ? If not can you try it ? - you can download from here (choose right language):

KB2539636

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27017

KB2533523

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27014

KB2468871

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3556

...x64 - is for 64bit WIndows 7

...x86 - is for 32bit WIndows 7

How to find out if Windows 7 is 32bit or 64bit is here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

EDIT 8/26/2011

Maybe what you can try (before you try points 1..11) only turn Off your antivirus and turn Off UAC, then manually install the updates  that failed to installand  run Windows update to install rest of updates. Turn On your antivirus and turn On UAC. How turn Off UAC see point 5).

EDIT 8/16/2011

If these steps above not help, try to use these ones:

1) uninstall Net Framework 4.0 client from „Uninstall and change program“:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program

2) If you still see Net Framework 4.0 client in „Uninstall and change program“ use this tool for unistallation Net Framework 4.0 client:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx

    download, unpack and run „cleanup_tool.exe“ – from pull-down menu choose „.NET Framework 4“ and click „Cleanup Now“

  1. After uninstallation restart computer
  2. Turn Off (Disable) your antivirus
  3. Turn Off UAC (User Account Control) – howto do it:

     http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

6) Download and install Net Framework 4.0 from here (choose right language):

     http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17718

      (same for 32bit OS and 64bit OS)

7) restart computer

8) try to install manually all updates (KB??????) that failed to install

9) run Windows update and install rest of updates

10) T****urn On UAC (User Account Control) – howto do it:

        http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

11) Turn On (Enable) your antivirus

    Thank you.  After downloading, click on the downloaded files and follow the instructions.  I am still learning about computers even though I had a BBC Micro in 1982.  Even though I dabbled with the thought of changing to Chrome, I now realise that Microsoft really do the business, and provide support.

    well it did not  help in my case, 

    as i mention on my reply i manual download those 3 updates , using some of ur fix links to clean up n uninstall wad u mention, it still comes back with these fail updates.

    You can look at Event viewer for additional information:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer

    You can try to run "sfc /scannow" from elevated command prompt:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en

    but maybe you will have to do a clean reinstall of operating system, when did not****help you  complete the uninstallation of Net Framework.

    thanks for the help

    BUT

    microsoft does not say which version : NDP40-KB2539636-IA64, NDP40-KB2539636-x64 or NDP40-KB2539636-x86, and why and how ?

    microsoft says "To start the installation immediately, click Run" when the run option is not possible

    if no run option, microsotf does not say where to install the exe file

    what the is Microsoft .NET Framework 4microsoft ?!

    ...

    microsoft does read these replies and comments, does it?`!

    Hi,

    NDP40-KB2539636-x64 - is for 64bit WIndows 7

    NDP40-KB2539636-x86 - is for 32bit WIndows 7

    How to find out if Windows 7 is 32bit or 64bit is here:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

    NDP40-KB2539636-IA64 - it is for Itanium Archtecture -it needs special operating system  based  Itanium architecture. I think - this will certainly not be for your computer.

    So download and save the package on the desktop and double click on it and  then install through wizard  the update.

    I think yes - Microsoft reads these replies and comments and maybe thinking what went wrong, because during last two days visited this help over  5 000 people ........
