A couple of things to try: *Repair the existing .Net 4 installation then try to manually install the updates by downloading from the kb page *Repair windows installer *Two possible solutions here *Another possibly related solution
Probably want to dig up the log file they are referencing and find the "real" error.
Well that was at work. Now I am at home and I have a similar message. Too tired to type now but basically I have to security update failures for .NET 3.5.1 ....but I don't see that installed. I have .NET 4 ...WTF????????
Why is trying to updated security fixes to software that's not even installed? That's it. I'm uninstalling the internet.

Um.... The .NET 4.0's probably worked at home. I left .NET 3.5.1 installed, sorry no errors for that here so I can't tell you about how I fixed that. Office 2010 installed it for me again after I uninstalled before installing Office 2010 Home and Student. Seemingly, Windows works with multiple versions of .NET installed. FYI, I have Net 3.5.1, NET 4.0, and .NET 4.5 on the laptop here. They all get patched now and then.

In Win7 it is probably listed as a Windows component rather than in the initial Programs list.

Yes, they can all co-exist. They are used for segmenting the development space/features.

I have Office 2010 at work and 2007 at home. I'm wondering how they would be affected if I uninstalled and then reinstalled? I'll try this at home first.
Actually ...yesterday there was some sort of patch thru MS updates for Office ...today everything is up-to-date suddenly for Windows Updates. So apparently they issued some sort of fix I assume. This is at work ...but at home this morning the issue still existed. I will tinker more tonight.
