Split from this thread.

Hello,

I see a C:\Windows\System32\catroot and wondered if this is about WU as well, sicne you had me rename catroot2 near the start of this thread? 

I am now receving "Error 1" when installing "Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 x64 (KB3037581)"

Any ideas?

    The obvious inference is that they have been installed twice. Of course it could simply be a reporting error.

    Are they showing twice in Programs and Features? Select Start, Control Panel, Programs and Features.

    In cCleaner are the file paths to the duplications identical?

    It seems to be a reporting problem with CCleaner.  I have snipped 5 JPG files for the Progams and Features programs list - the public link is: http://1drv.ms/1FexkFA

    I'll contact CCleaner support about the reporting error.

    Edit: changed web address to a proper hyperlink

    It's the free MBAM - someone had suggested I scan for malware

    Yes I have restored all the REG backups..... 

    And yes, the same computer as those 3 threads....

    I...ran MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and ADWCleaner which cleaned out some entries and folders as needed.  I also reset WU [but the following updates still failed to install]

    2894854

    2931368

    2972107

    2972216

    2979578

    2898869

    2901126  [SOURCE]

    Is KB3037581 (May 2015), KB2894854 (December 2013), KB2931368 (May 2014), KB2972107 (October 2014), KB2972216 (September 2014), KB2979578 (October 2014), KB2898869 (February 2014), and/or KB2901126 (February 2014) listed in Installed Updates (not Update History)?

    Can you tell us why .NET Framework v4.5, .NET Framework v4.5.1, and/or .NET Framework v4.5.2 was installed to begin with?

    I ran WU and checked Check for updates - and no updates were found - except the defination update for MSE.

    Not sure why .NET was installed - I think I hada program that required the .NET but prior version - or maybe Staples installed it?
