A week ago, Windows updates went into an infinite loop with installing 6 updates to the dot NET Framework, typically version 2.0 and 3.5. I’d install the updates as you’d normally do and click “finish”. The yellow shield near the clock disappears like I expect. However, 15 seconds later, that shield comes back. Thus, I’m thinking there are more updates (such as those updating needing to be installed for others to be installed), I installed them, noticing that there were 6, much like the previous install. After installing, I get that shield coming back again and, guess what, 6 more updates and, after taking note of the first one, I saw KB979909 as one of the updates (of which, strangely, was already installed). I forced a redownload of the Windows updates, thinking the download went corrupt, but that didn’t help. I waited about 3 or 4 days to see if some future Windows update has a bug fix, but apparently not. While waiting, I noticed a considerable slow down on my computer. Thus, I looked for a cleaner to otherwise do a clean install of the framework. I ran it, restarted my computer as instructed, and attempted to download and reinstall all the framework stuff, but all I ever got were errors. The cleaner supposedly worked, but the framework just won’t install. Then comes along a time where I need to use the only 2 known programs that use the framework, but they won’t run. Since Sony Vegas comes with a CD that has the framework on it, I tried it that way, but all I get is …
