This trouble started with an attempt to install MS .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for >NET version 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86 patch.
Would get failures for the install.
So naturally I began reading the MS forums and found a thread stating the issue was most likely caused by a damaged .NET Framework component and to resolve remove previous versions and reinstall v3.5 and provided a link for the tool to do the removal.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/e9499017-39bb-4e4d-ad61-f2db93030908 yeah, I know its for Vista but couldn't find anything in the XP forum
So removed all .NET versions and attempted to install v3.5. The install failed. Did some more investigation and found information that stated .NET Framework was dependent on earlier versions. So I started with Version 1 and installed OK, went to Version 1.1 still OK. Tried Ver 2.0, Failed.
Found yet another link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 and started the process all over again with the same results, nothing installed successfully further then Ver 1.1
Then tried http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/466a006f-ab47-4bba-a625-b221681c77b8/ Yep another Vista forum but this provided a fix for installing .NET 2.0 but once again couldn't install Ver 2.0 SP2 or the 3.0 or 3.5 versions.
I did find a mostly undocumented Ver 4.0 which did install but doesn't correct the issue with the program that stopped working after removing Ver 3.0 & 3.5.
Some other items I've uncovered which have been suggested in other forums posts for this problem are not on the machine in question;
Internet Information Services [IIS] is not installed
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security\ServiceModel 3.0.0.0
nor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer\WOW64
Exist

Both the above suggest a dependence check failed but at a loss as to what action I should take.
So now that you know the background, this is where I stand. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with Security Update (KB979906), Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and 4 Extended installed. Machine is running MS Windows XP Pro Ver 2002 w/SP3
I'll keep looking but let me know if anyone out there has another idea I haven't already tried.
