Hello,

I have an installation problem with framework 4 on Vista.

I downloaded it from the website, started the installation, it downloads the components perfectly but during their installation the progress bar doesn’t move (even after 3 hours and 30 minutes of waiting).

I’m reaching out for help because I’ve done some operations described in forums but nothing resolves my problem.

Thank you in advance.

So seeing nothing marked, I suppose I have the basic one (Either no pack or the normal pack 1).

In the same section, at the bottom, is your Windows Vista activated?

Yes, of course, it is activated, but there is no information about the pack.

For the continuation, use the Internet Explorer browser
Start by installing Windows Vista Service Pack 1
Make sure you have selected a language: French
Come back to let me know how it went.
If everything is OK, then you can proceed to install Windows Vista SP2
Then restart and
- check in your Control Panel > System if SP2 appears finally
- check in your Programs the installed Microsoft .NET Frameworks
I don't have the time today to guide you on how to progress in the installation of the Microsoft .NET Frameworks...

Hello
Go to the control panel and under System, see what is installed on your PC. Vista and check if a pack is installed Vista (SP1).

If SP1 is not installed, you cannot install Vista SP2.

But do you update through Windows Update, because normally if your Vista is official, it should have been offered to you by Windows Update.

For the Net Framework, it's the same; if you only have Net Framework 1, you need to install 2 & 3 - 3.5 before wanting to install NFW 4.0, which may not be compatible with Vista.
You need to do some research to find out.
First, update Vista. We'll see later.

So yes, normally I update but it's true that it's been quite a while since the automatic updates have started.

I just installed both SPs.

I am currently on Vista SP2.

Thank you tribun!

@ aresta
Does Windows Update appear in your Control Panel?
If so, how is it configured?

See you later

Yes, it appears but the problem is that I can't access it.

When I click on it to open, the page opens but remains blank and gets stuck.
I can't go any further and remove the page afterwards.

Besides, 2 update pages are still open and I can't close them anymore.

So...
1.
Windows Update appears in your Control Panel
2.
When I click on it to open, the page opens but remains blank and freezes.
I can't go any further and can't close the page afterwards.

You don't have to close the page!
3.
Besides, 2 update pages are still open and I can't close them
Where are these 2 pages open???
- Why do you want to close these 2 update pages?
- Would you like to close them after doing what?

So when I click on the Windows Update icon, a window appears and opens normally.
The problem is that this window stays white, let me explain:
The window opens, but nothing appears. I had to wait 15 good minutes and when I clicked with my mouse, the window froze, meaning nothing is still shown, and I can't minimize it, close it, or click on previous; it's a frozen window.

Both update pages are open on the desktop (open but frozen). They are there but useless since I can't do anything with them, and that's why I wanted to close them.

Try this.

1 - Start > right-click on Computer > Manage

In the left window at the bottom, select "Services and Applications" then "Services" > at the very bottom of the services list, stop "Windows Update"

2 - Start > Computer > Windows Find the folder "SoftwareDistribution" and rename it by adding a number, for example, SoftwareDistribution1

Go back to Services and restart "Windows Update" which will recreate a new clean Software Distribution folder

3 - Start > All Programs > Windows Update

Hello

I have a small problem:

Access denied when trying to rename the folder.

Try renaming in safe mode.

Otherwise, see this and use Dial-a-fix

Good

I successfully renamed the folder and then opened the update through "all programs".

I had quite a few updates to do, so I started all these updates.

111 updates could not be installed: I looked into it, and it mainly concerns FW 3.5 SP1 and Windows Vista security updates.
