Can't install Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (KB2468871) (KB2533523) and Security update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (KB 2478663) (KB 2518870)

Question

I have tried all of the previous posts to fix this problem but am unable to resolve the problem. I get the error:

Set up has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to complete this operation. The following blocking issues must be resolved before you can proceed.

Set up can not run in compatibility mode. For more information see the readme file.

I looked at the read me file but have no idea how to find the information I need.

I am also having problems with windows installer not working and am wondering if this is causing the problem.

Any help with this will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

NOTE: After you have finished troubleshooting, make sure you put back the computer to normal startup mode as suggested in step7 from the above KB article.

Check if this helps.
