I assume you mean the updates were offerred... Windows Update doesn't automatically offer MSE itself. >Update site does not say to turn off virus scanner. No, but it I always do when installing updates to .NET or Internet Explorer, at the least. AV's vary.... Norton has a history of interfering, as well as some others (ESET did for a while)... other AVs don't cause any trouble most of the time. >Are problem with installers looking for necessary files in >crazy places with long random character names a >common symptom caused by a virus scanner operating? That 'symptom' is usually the uninstaller looking for the original temporary folder that was used (or recorded as used) during the original installation. Often those folders are deleted by the installer at the end of the installation, or by the user during maintenance. >It just doesn't seem like the kind of error I would >expect from collisions with an active virus scanner. No, probably not. It could be a defect in the installer, but if it was, one would expect to see the issue everywhere, and it is actually not that common. > snip >> But why are you installing .NET Framework if you have no software >> that >> uses it? .NET Framework 4 is not pushed on Windows Update, it is an >> optional update listed separately.

There's no good reason to install any .NET version if you don't have software asking for it during installation, in order to run the software. -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www.
