By no means the first time, but I have (in common with many Googlers) continual 'successful' installs of 3 KBs Win7 updates for .Net Framework that are not installed and keep on returning. On the previous 3 occasions, 'repair' .net as per instructions worked. This time it has not.
So, I go to get help from M$. Hah! Legit Win7Pro, activated, under a year old and I want to ask what to do. They want $46 to 'help me'. That is ludicrous. Anyone got any other ways to get an answer? No wonder they are universally despised.
