[SOLVED] a problem with windows update

malis2007 · Jun 26, 2015

i did uninstall it and it said that the process completed successfuly.
However, its entry is still present in the Add/Remove programs list.. :huh:

BrianDrab · Jun 26, 2015

That is very odd. Make sure you reboot just to make sure. Then please download the offline installer of 4.5.2 and attempt to re-install it.

malis2007 · Jun 26, 2015

have just restarted my laptop, and its entry is still there..
shall i just click yes?

EDIT:

by re-install.. you mean to install and then uninstall it?
or just keep it installed? :)

BrianDrab · Jun 26, 2015

Definitely.

malis2007 · Jun 26, 2015

4.5.2 is Installed successfully

shall i uninstall it now? :)

malis2007 · Jun 27, 2015

omg, i can't uninstall microsoft .net framework 4 multi-targeting pack..
i get the following error whenever i try:

and when i click "ok" i get:

q: why i tried to uninstall it?
a: i tried repairing microsoft visual c++ 2010 express, and it told me everything has been downloaded and reinstalled fine except for .Net framework 4 multi-targeting pack. thus, i thought about repairing it by reinstalling.. but got those errors.

Thanks again for your help. :)

Hello there,
Sadly, before this message was posted..
I ran a tool from Microsoft for repairing .net framework issuses..
but it didn't work.. (I still get the same problem when I try to uninstall the .net framework 4 multi-targeting pack..)
and the repair tool for .net framework from Microsoft generated these logs packed in a .cab file, link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/634swxcple5bxs2/FixDotNet20150627145930287.cab?dl=0

I wanted to post about this first before applying your suggested fix, just to check whether it is fine to run it in my current pc status or I should wait for another fix xD

sorry about the late respond, as I had and still have network issuses just after the last time I posted.. (it might be solved tomorrow)
my upload speed was 10kb/s using an alternative connection method not to mention that it kept disconnecting alot xD

thanks alot for your help and patience.

BrianDrab · Jun 28, 2015

Yes go ahead and run my fix and post the results. Thanks.

Hello there,
i am so sorry for being this late, i have just solved my connection issues xD

while being offline, i did try your fix but it didn't work and also somestuff like re-installing of visual studio 2010 express and visual studio service pack 1 using their .iso which i have downloaded before..
but both failed..
uninstalled visual c++ 2010 express successfuly and tried to reinstall the visual basic 2010 express but failed(couldn't even uninstall it inorder to reinstall)
thought of uninstalling ALL the .net framework using this tool:
MSDN Blogs
but the .net framwork 4 multi-targeting pack still didn't uninstall.. (get the same error)

is there anything i can do to get visual studio 2010 express fully installed with all its vb.net c# c++.. etc?
how to remove the current visual basic 2010 express and the annoying .net framework 4 multi-targeting pack?
all sort of repairs using the standered built in repair button in the installers failed to work. :/

i am so sorry again about my failed attemps.. i was just hopeless and still am :/
i am sure that i made the situation far worse.. is there any logs you want from me to update?

the SFCFIX log is attached in this post

So you did use the tool to attempt to uninstall all the .NET Frameworks? It wasn't clear.

malis2007 · Jul 8, 2015

yes i did, but i still can see the .net framework 4 multi-targeting pack in the add/remove programs list:

logs i got from the tool:

Do you or did you at one time have a Visual Studio program installed that wasn't express? Premium, Professional or something like that?

malis2007 · Jul 8, 2015

i don't use premium and don't recall having used professional.. but i am sure about the express :)

When you go to Windows Update now, what shows up to install?

malis2007 · Jul 8, 2015

BrianDrab · Jul 8, 2015

Have you tried running the manual uninstall tool to get rid of Visual Studio 2010?

MSDN Blogs

BrianDrab · Jul 8, 2015

I also wanted to point out the two articles in case you did not try them.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/en

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2771441 (deals with version 2012 but is likely relevant for 2013).

malis2007 · Jul 9, 2015

hello there, i have both abad and good news(i hope)
the bad ones is..
none of the three sites helped me..
even the fixit tool was crashing in the startup saying that it wasn't responding and then gives me only two options(debug or close).

the good news(i think that they aren't good actually)
i managed to use the last windows restore backup available, and it was before uninstalling the .net frameworks
the bad news..
now even after uninstalling visual c++ 2010 express, i can't even run visualbasic 2010 express anymore! (unlike before)
not to mention that my firefox gives me errors and doesn't want to run..

the error i get when i try to run visual basic 2010 express is:
http://i.imgur.com/KZfUZzm.png

the errors i get when i try to run firefox:
http://i.imgur.com/v5SQ4ig.png
http://i.imgur.com/jHn8r1H.png

i am pretty sure that .net framework 4 is corrupted now :/
is there a way to fix it?

BrianDrab · Jul 9, 2015

Try the following for your Firefox issue.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029239

For the .NET Framework issue, are you able to go to add/remove programs and remove it? Then we can re-install it.
