I was messing with the registry and deleted entries on the .net framework because I had tried to uninstall the previous version and get v3.0 as the latest. Problem now is, I don't know why it won't let me install it and it pops up with an error when I do the Windows Update,

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click OK to try again, or enter alternate path to a folder containing the installation package
'NDP20-KB917283-X86.msp' in the box below."

Clicking okay says it can't find the location of the file in

C:\DOCUME~1\MYUSERNAME~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ZNW1FE\NDP2 0-KB917283-X86.msp

I'm stumped, did I screw anything up pretty badly? How am I to get this installer package again?

Also, something else annoying, it somehow STILL thinks I have the .NET framework v2.0 since Windows Update says it found a High Priority security update for it, and I pretty much deleted the .NET folder that was located in C:\WINDOWS, but I believe some parts of it are still left in the registry.
