SP3 blocks .NET updates

[2ffat]

Windows Secrets has a story about service pack 3 blocking .NET security patches.

Thanx 2ffat, for the info...

although I've not seen this problem myself (yet) it may still come in handy...

I notice that .NET 3.5 SP1 was released in November, and Windows Update has never offered it to me (I'm running SP3). So I can believe the problem is there.

What might be helpful is to identify what the .NET patches are to bring one up to date...can anyone help there?

Anyway,

anyone have any horror stories about SP3, or is it 'generally' a good idea to install?

Sometimes it just needs a good kicking.

IMHO, while SP3 isn't bug free is does solve some problems/holes elsewhere.

We've put in SP3 on about 150 machines with no problems. Running a couple of benchmarking programs before and after, I noticed small improvements on both my home and work computers.
