I have had this problem twice on two different computers in the last week:
-- Customer comes in with spyware/virus problems
-- clean computer using virus program, spybot, adaware, hijack this until no
more traces come up
-- both computers had watools and ibis toolbar removed (May be irrelevant)
-- When I go to update computer using windows updates website, updates show
up, I download them, they fail to install.
-- I used manual updates to get computer ready for SP2.
-- Install SP2.
-- Updates for SP2 download, fail to install
-- Now however, updates install option shows up when I go to shut down the
computer. I use this option and updates install successfully.
I tried reinstalling windows updates by deleting: directories in
Windows/SoftwareDistribution, ProgramFiles/WindowsUpdates, WUTemp, temporary
IE files
Here is the relevant parts of the log (to the best of my knowledge)
containing the last windows update failure to install (after succesfull
download) and then success when installing with the shutdown option.
