Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation

Ignore the title - try both methods.

Somehow updating to IE 7 caused the same problem for me. I use windows xp
pro. The solution from Shenan Stanley worked for me. I can install downloaded
updates from windows update again. Thanks SS.

try regsvr32 - no "Q"...

What operating system (specifically)?

In fact - just do it this way:

- Click on the Start button, click RUN (or press the Windows-Key+R) and in
the text entry area, type the following:

net stop wuauserv

- Click OK.
- Click on the Start button, click RUN (or press the Windows-Key+R) and in
the text entry area, type the following:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll

- Click OK.
- Click on the Start button, click RUN (or press the Windows-Key+R) and in
the text entry area, type the following:

net start wuauserv

- Click OK.
- Reboot for good measure and try your updates again.


If that does not work, you may have more problems than just your updates not
installing (like a messed up PATH statement, etc.)
