    The errors you are seeing are due to some registry information being

    It's doing it on 2 of my working systems which DO have
    clean installs and never once ran up regedit.

    Interesting.... nothing has been installed except an stock clean install
    of the OS? Is an anti-virus installed at the time of the .NET
    installation, and is it active at the time?


    No telling what caused the damage (the registry cleaners you use to
    'fix' things can cause errors like this), but you need to use Aaron
    Stebner's tool to remove all .NET Frameworks on XP, and then manually
    download and install only what you need.

    I think I'll go one better and do a new install
    without any Framework of any version. Ever.

    Why are you installing .NET Framework 4.x?
    Do you have software that
    requires it? Don't install it if you don't need it.

    Building a clean master with all updates for my
    little fleet of 5 identical off lease OEM computers.

    But why are you installing .NET Framework if you have no software that
    uses it? .NET Framework 4 is not pushed on Windows Update, it is an
    optional update listed separately. I don't think any .NET flavor is
    pushed any longer for XP on Windows Update if it isn't already present
    due to some 3rd-party software. I'll have to look at my clean install
    on another machine.
