With version 2.01 and 2.02 I am getting the error Patch My PC has encountered a problem and needs to close. ANy idea what I can do to track this down?
First machine that caused any problem.

Most likely a Microsoft .NET issue. Make sure you have Microsoft .net 3.5 SP1 installed if so re-install it.

You were right on. I uninstalled all net framework versions and then installed version 4.  PatchMyPC did not like that version so installed 3.5. While 3.5 did not install properly  PatchMyPC is happy.

Used Cleaner to clean out the registry errors after the uninstalls.

After much playing I managed to have only version 4 on the computer. PatchMyPC does not recognize this version. I have since tried adding 3.5 by no go.

Yeah it most likely won't work if .NET 3.5 is corrupt. Here is a link to .NET 3.5 offline install you could try this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25150

Thanks but tied it several times and the install always fails. Have used Dr Web Cureit, Avast, Malwarebytes, Spybot, Superatispyware and Emsisoft and found nothing. Ran Sfc /scannow. Gave up and used the .Net cleanup tool and started over. Only version 4 of .Net will install. Apparently enough of 3.5 installs to allow PatchmyPC to work.

Finally got 3.5 to install but now not getting version numbers for common updates.
