If anyone has a problem with this month's Patch Tuesday issuance of Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB928366) not installing on XP, here's the fix:

Hope this saves someone some aggravation...

EDIT:

I couldn't extract the netfx.msi file from dotnetfx.exe using the provided instructions. I finally did it using IzArc, but I couldn't do it directly.

I went to the folder where I downloaded the dotnetfx.exe file, right-clicked on it, and used IzArc to convert the .exe to a .7z archive, which was subsequently created in the same folder. I then right-clicked on the newly-created archive and extracted it in the same place, which revealed the netfx.msi file.

I was then able to run the hotfix and point it to the extracted netfx.msi file.

What a convoluted workaround...
