error 0x663 installing XP Update KB982168

I am debugging for a client a persistent error 0x663 for KB982168, repeatedly after having completely reset .Net Framework from scratch. I first completely got rid of all DotNet versions, then installed donnetfx35.exe, and followede successfully with all subsequent updates until this one, which continually fails.

Ideas as to how to get this bugger through?

Thanks!

Hi inetman

Thanks for your prompt response.

I followed this very process, using these same components to the letter, and here I am. These processes went without a hitch (full-tilt uninstall/cleanup tool followed by dotnetfx35.exe), with several subsequent successful updates until KB982168, which continually errors with 0x663.

Wish there were more to go on.

Hi again inetman

Here's the logfile from the standalone KB982168 install. Perhaps it will provide more info...

And here's the verbose log listing...

It may not provide anything new...

Thx again.

Hi

I've returned the PC to it's owner with the offending update hidden. Hoping it doesn't create dependency issues.

Thanks for you excellent and very useful input.
