Unable to install updates for .NET Framework

Tried to do updates for .Net Framework and the following 2 would not
install: "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5SP1 and .NET Framework 2.0 PS2
Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP. . "
and "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 Security Update for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP (KB979906)". I have uninstalled all .Net (1.1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 &
3.5 SP2) and rebooted. I then ran Microsoft Update to see if it showed and
updates available and there was one for .NET Framwork 2.0, so I knew the
un-install failed. I then ran Aaron Stebners clean up tool which stated it
had cleaned up successful. I then downloaded the .NET 1.1 and installed,
installed .NET 1.1SP1 and ran Microsoft Update and the update failed again.
I am at a loss of what to do now. I have not tried to re-install any other
versions of .NET which I need as well. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Find out why?

BTW if an update really is "successfully installed" and there is not
something undoing that I would just mark the update to be hidden.
Eventually it might not be offered incorrectly any more.

Supposedly those would be independent of .NET 1.1
