Downloads fine but get error 80072EFD on install

Hi,

I am running XP SP1 (do not want to install SP2 yet) and am trying to
download the following updates:
Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374) [fails with errcode 80072EE2]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB824151) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB840987) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB834707)
[fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Q811114: Security Update (Windows XP or Windows XP Service Pack 1) [fails
with errcode 643]

I have tried to change the security settings as per postings in this forum,
but it doesn't help.

I previously tried to install SP2 but it failed, and our sysadmin does not
want anyone to upgrade to it yet. When I run windows update it goes to url
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Does that mean that some of SP2 got on
there anyway? If so, how can I remove it? It doesn't show under "Add/Remove
programs" and my build version says: "Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633 (Service
Pack 1)".

Thankful for any help!

Hi

v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com has nothing to do with SP2
really, WinXP SP1 computers are also directed to this new
version of Windows Update.

You might need to use proxycfg.exe to either set or remove
a proxy server configuration:

Open a command prompt (Start/Run and then "cmd.exe" without the
quotes).

Run this command to see what proxy configuration WU uses:

proxycfg


If you don't have a proxy, you will need status

Direct access (no proxy server).


If it reports anything else, to set direct access:

proxycfg -d


To set it to use current users's IE proxy settings:

proxycfg -u



To get more help on proxycfg:

proxycfg -?

Thank you for a quick and informative reply!

I am using a proxy, and it worked when I set it to use the current users's
IE proxy settings with proxycfg -u.
I needed to install the four KB* updates first, reboot and then install
Q811114.

I'm always a bit sceptical towards running anything called *cfg* from the
command prompt without knowing exactly what it is doing Can proxycfg -u
affect the running of other applications? Am I likely to need to change it
again?

Very unlikely.

Probably not.

Hi everybody,
I have some strange problems with my notebook running under XP Pro SP2,
I can access without any problems to the net but when i'm trying to access
the sites on our Local network it seems not to see the local server (dns) , I
thought it was a problem of connexion parameters so I checked it, they seems
good (local addresses are in exception group)

In order to may update my windows I used to use the proxycfg -u command (I
had the error 80072EFD which is resolved) since I did it I have this
problem...

Do you have an idea of solution please

My guess would be that you would have to use the second
DNS address to give addressability to your local nameserver.
(That's assuming it is a TCP-IP connection, which very easily
may not be the case.) Otherwise perhaps you could use
overrides in your HOSTS or LMHOSTS or NETWORKS
files (e.g. in %windir%\System32\drivers\etc) and thus avoid
the problem.

Start by using ipconfig /all to find what your current DNS
addresses are and use nslookup to see if it can use them
to do the lookups for the addresses you seem to be missing.
Use ping -n 1 to see if its lookup is any different. (E.g., for
that case any overrides from the above files could be applied.)

A possible keyword for searching for more information
I would try is: multihomed


BTW this is not the right newsgroup to be looking in for such
assistance. Try Windows XP Networking and the Web instead.
(Note: I can't tell what portal you are using with your web interface
to newsgroups. That is the name that the eXPertzone portal
gives to it.)

If you would like to try using a real newsreader instead it would be

news:microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web

OE users could use this even if they didn't already have a news server
defined:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...xp.network_web

Before posting on a new news account from OE you should
do some personalizing (and munge your E-mail address
if desired.)
