I wasn't even addressing the issue of WHY I had to install it, just the =
issues of installing an exploitable version right from windowsupdate and =
getting no warning that it was making me exploitable and that I should = go
back and run a second check and then when that was done no warning = that I
should go back and run a windows update scan for a THIRD TIME.

Why can't they just patch the stupid .NET framework distribution so it's =
current when you install it? Is there some reason for the repeat trips = to
windows update? (should I create my own slipstream install Rich?)

    I've so far avoided anything that required it, I don't see why I =
