on my win2K sp4 system, the .net refuses to install via windows
update, despite attempting multiple times from admin account.
It downloads fine, then states "failed". How to fix or even
diagnose what went wrong?

Try downloading the "dotnetfx.exe" file and install manually from it.
You'll get a little more info as to why it is failing.

OK this is what happened:

updating component registration

Internal Error 2908: (7D4B5591-4C80-42BB-B0E5-F2C0CEE02) {I
think}

repeated 4 times with differing hex stuff in the parens

then

Error 1935 An error occurred during the installation of assembly
'Microsoft VisualC, Version="7.10.3052.4." Please refer to Help
and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x080027802f.

OK

Now what?
