Method 3: Install the update in Safe Mode

Install the update in Safe Mode. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Download the update. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Visit the Microsoft Download Web site:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)
   2. In the Search for a download box, type the number of the Knowledge Base article that describes the update, and then click Go.
   3. Download the update, and then save it to the desktop.
2. Install the update. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Double-click the downloaded file to install it.
      
      If you are prompted to restart the computer, do so.
   2. Visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site to verify whether the update is offered again. If you are offered the update again, continue to the next step.
3. Install the update in Safe Mode. Safe Mode disables most running processes and services. These services include the Windows Update service. Installing an update in Safe Mode is a quick test to verify whether an application or process is interfering with the installation. To install in Safe Mode, follow these steps:
   1. Restart the computer.
   2. As the computer starts, press the F8 key.
   3. Use the arrow keys to choose Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.
   4. Double-click the file that you downloaded in step 1 to install the file.
   5. When the installation is finished, restart the computer.
   6. Visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site to verify whether the update is offered. Alternatively, wait until Automatic Updates runs again.

Er ..... slight hitch to that statement.

Switched on the computer last night and, lo and behold, the same 4 updates were wanting to be installed.
I'll give them a blast in safe mode and let you know.

So it looks like an uninstall of .NET, reinstall it an try the updates again is called for.
Or did you mean resetting the update components?

That's what I said... though with Orville's linked removal tool you might have better chance of success than just uninstalling.
