Well - there's sure some frazzled programmers over here. We have a solution to patcher troubles. If you started having patcher problems within the last two weeks, then this fix will likely help you.
The .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has issues after an upgrade to the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1). These issues are fixed in a .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 update.
For clarity (clear as mud):
- .NET 3.5 SP1 breaks .NET 2.0 SP2
- A hotfix for .NET 3.5 SP1 fixes .NET 2.0 SP2
Please visit Microsoft's site for the hot fix and for further information and details.

You will need to reboot in order for this fix to work.
